I left the doors to my van open until after sunset in the Everglades National Park and 1,199, 999 of them were in my van along with countless horseflies. I got in bed and covered up but couldn't sleep so hauled butt and rolled the windows down until I got to Homestead for some insect spray. One of the most miserable nights of my life.

I've never even heard of such a thing. I'm assuming it's somehow involved in increasing turbulence in the intake and thus better mixing?

On early Subarus a code for the idle control system is most likely caused by a faulty 5th gear switch.

New fact. Apparently Subarus are stupid cars.

Better emissions during cold running.
Mine has been throwing a CEL even though it's 90 degrees out... Time to gut the system and turn off the code for good via laptop.

Fortunately, I keep a supply of champagne in the Sex Room.
Picking up a Mojave Desert tortoise can easily kill it. They pee when picked up but that pee is their entire water supply so they then dehydrate.

The worst water in the world can be found in Iron Mountain Mine in northern California. It has a pH of -3.6. The negative mark is not a typo.
In grains per gallon, water hardness is classified as follows:
Less than 4 grains per gallon is considered to be soft
4 to 7 grains per gallon is considered to be moderately-hard
7 to 10 grains per gallon is hard
greater than 10 grains per gallon is very hard
Mine is 140+

Incorrect. When WWI began Von Richtofen began service as a cavalry reconnaissance officer before transferring into the air service.

Vernon Estes damn near quit trying to build model rocket motors after an accident with the machine he'd built to do the job seriously injured somebody working for him.
He only decided to continue after seeing a newspaper article about yet another kid that had blown himself up trying to make one of the things himself.

That foam soap you see in dispensers nowadays? You're supposed to use it without water, then rinse it off when you're done, thereby saving the water that would normally be uselessly running while you scrub your hands.
Why did I just learn about this? WHY WASN'T I TOLD?!

Then read an English translation of the autobiography he was writing when he was killed. Follow that up with Rickenbacker's autobiography. (Both of those are links to the complete text, free at http://www.richthofen.com/)
It was interesting to learn how different battle was when you didn't have parachutes or radios. I loved the bit how, when the squadron was supposed to be transitioning from Nieuports to Spads, Rickenbacker stole his Spad instead of waiting for it to eventually be delivered.
Also, Richthofen is usually depicted in a fokker triplane
but only 19 of his 80 kills were in that type of aircraft. The rest were in biplanes.
