Re: An impressive question from a twelve year old.
You guys talk about the most mindless juvenile junk....Let's get back to talking about 21st Century Toys and man-dollies and important grown-up stuff like that...

Re: An impressive question from a twelve year old.
A similar thing happened to me over 20 years ago when my nephew (then aged 4) asked me what my favourite constellation was! I could barely spell the word. He is now doing a doctorate in astral geology or some such high brow science. Out of the mouth of babes!

My younger cousin asked me that the other day. I answered with "Lockheed".
 
I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Almost spilled my chocolate milk over that one.

Re: An impressive question from a twelve year old.
Yea,

the kid was quite obviously noising up the adults when he asked about this conundrum in physics. Years ago, the same question/request was much simplified for unwitting engineering apprentices when they were asked to go to the stores and say : " Can I have 'a sky-hook', please ? "

The kid has been watching too many episodes of "The Simpsons".

Re: An impressive question from a twelve year old.
Well my 5 year old grandson has his sights set closer to home. When I told him I was taking him to a Pittsburgh Pirates game this weekend, he asked, "You mean with swords and everything?"
