I buy the magazine theory because so many old timer hams have told me that one. But hey, I also here that MG was started in a small shop called Mac's Garage, but who know's. lol That one sound weird to me, as I always thought that British Lealand was the maunf, not some dude named Mac ! hahaha !

Last time I checked, when we where messing around with them and dropped them from ten feet onto part of our driveway(now this was when I was younger) it didnt bounce at all. For so reason a 15lbs ball doesnt seem to want to bounce all that much from a 10 foot drop onto pavement. But I'm sure if you added a trampoline to that equation then yes it would bounce. Hehehehe oppsssss. Might have to try that sometime.

They bounce awsome off a smooth concrete floor. Almost as good as a basket ball...till they break.

A cubic yard of air weighs about 2lbs a sea level.

At lift off the space shuttle weighs 4.5 million pounds.

The DC in DC-10 stand for Douglas Commercial.

If you were to fly around the moon the distance is about the same as a New York to London flight.

That's progress?
