I have a small handgun that was my uncle's. He passed away about 6 years ago. I'm assuming he had it registered. My aunt asked for it back a couple years ago, but it seems to be "too much hassle" for her to drive 1 and 1/2 hours down here to get it. Because of that, it looks like I'll be keeping the gun. What do I need to do to get it registered under my name?

Also, I have two .410 shotguns that were my great-grandfathers. Do I need to register those or what?

Thanks for the help.

Two guys walk into a bar..

The third one ducks.

I just moved into an older house. My dryer's electric cord has 4 prongs, but the adapter on the wall is a 3 prong style. What should I do? Can I pick up an adapter at Lowe's/Home Depot? Can I just replace the outlet? Do I have to rerun new wire from the breaker box? I'm pretty good with electric, but this is a new one on me. Please help!!

Thanks!

still have the hpipe and manifolds? i'll take pm me an address if so.

Yes, I still have these. Sending you a PM.

OK OK OK, I stand corrected. My boss here at work just explained it to me. Yes, I'm slow. LoL!! For those who don't understand, think about it this way. Sit the plane up on jackstands. Will it take off? Of course, because the prop is pulling the air to move the plane forward. Whether you have a treadmill going the opposite direction at 200mph or not, the plane will still move forward because it's pulling air.

You can also think about how fan boats work. The fan in the back pushes air to move the boat forward. If a fan boat's top speed is 60mph and it's driving against a current that is going 60mph, how fast will the boat be physically moving? Answer: 60mph. The boat is not going to stand still because it is pushing against the air, not the water.

Maybe this will help to clear up the confusion...or add to it. Who knows.

OK, I didn't read the entire thread so I don't know what all was said. But from the way I saw it, the plane did not stay still, which meant that the plane was going faster than the treadmill. If the plane was standing still, it would not have taken off. But, since the guy flying the plane got it going faster than the treadmill, it moved forward, which caused air under the wings, which gave it lift. When they are able to get the plane to stay still on the treadmill, then it will not fly.

I have a feeling that this "myth" will create so much controversy that they will have to do it again. I thought they were suppose to keep the plane at the same speed as the treadmill, which means that it would be stationary. But that's not what they did.

Though I've never understood buying a new car to save on gas money; the difference in cost of the car will be more than the difference in gas cost in most cases.

 

And even with the gas costs I pay (which are more than $60 a fillup), I still wouldn't give up my daily to save a few bucks at the pump.

+1. I never understood this either. My F-1fiddy gets about 14mpg. Would I like to get a more economical truck? Sure. But it wouldn't make sense because you end up with negative equity from your current vehicle. It would take like 10 years to make up the cost difference in gas.

Um looks like a bad address when I put that in, also it is a Lycos member page? Sounds like a scam to me.....

Try again...
