Stupid Car #2
For an interesting read, look into the metallography of Japanese swords. The sharp edge requires a hard steel, but that's brittle. They bang a hard steel over a softer one, giving flexability. A thousand years before we were making horse shoes, the Japanese priests figures this one out. Need to quench it? Some were quenched hot in virgin's urine (we call it salt quench today). One particularly arrogant Lord had his swords driven into six prisoners standing front to back, and left there until it was cooled. Where the hardened steel meets the milder steel a line of demarkation is noticable. Some are razor straight, others look like clouds on the horizon. That's called "Clouds & Rain", the japanese word for orgasm.
Yeah, I'm a nut job; but I find this interesting .....
Got a chance to throw this around on Saturday afternoon:
Linked, since hotlink won't work
And what a car it is. WOW. I doubt the course workers could hear me, but I was cackling like a fool most of the time I was on course.
