Thanks for pointing that out!!! I may have ordered the wrong version. I believe the coriolis effect has something to do with gravitational pull depending on which side of the equator you are on.

Does anyone know what the A/R or stage wheel these things come standard with??

The 737's at the airport have that backwords fan ---- going on too. Must work well for compression.

Dude I got one of those beefy cheesy melts from Taco Bell. It was pretty good till I hit the damn rice. WTF? No where in the commercial does it say they stuff the nog with rice. It specifically says cheesy beefy melt.

the thing that cracks me up with these things are the add 20 hp and increase gas mileage. last time I checked anything that adds power decreases gas mileage.

Yeah, I have a relative that has his de-riced. Rice is for asia.

It was good, but was more of a cheesey melt with beef than anything (was in wisconsin, the cheese-nog state, maybe different here). SO MUCH ------- CHEESE with a little beef.

Wisconsin is not the cheese-nog state, New York is. Wisconsin has a lot in common with Idaho - they both ran a good advertising campaign.

Eh, there's a shitton of cheeeeese in WI, althought I've never been to New York nor have I done in depth research on the quantities in both states.

However, I did bring back a ton of brats from WI. How's NY with the brat department? Cuz dey pwn, and every day there's at least one place fryin up some "not off the shelf at walmart" brats, only the real stuff.
