Impressive. What do you guys do in real life? Design airplanes? Moon rockets? Me, I can write a song that the birds will stop and listen to, but the workings of mechanical computers which perform trigonometric functions is, shall we say...far afield of my area of expertise. Much less my forte. The thing scares me a little. I suspect magic at work--and not the good kind.
Anyway, I'm glad you scratched the dang thing, because I can't shoot him if I don't know how fast he is, and I far prefer the scope method to the watch method, it being more accurate, and it requiring the rotation of a dial which makes me feel important.

Ain't the German language hilarious? I've gotten to the point that I don't have to read the subtitles anymore. I understand SH3 German conversationally. But I can only talk to computer Germans with extremely limited vocabularies.
So it goes...Kurt Vonnegut.
