Louetta's Lore

[Rob]

Ski, throw a 16 or 20 oz. sirloin on the grill, cook it to your taste, (I know some will cringe at this next suggestion, but ...) put a little A1 and Tabasco on it (I'm not kidding), get that Sam Adams lager cold enough that little chunks of ice are starting to form in it, and you'll be in hog heaven. (I like to put a lot of Tabasco on mine.) You don't even need anything on the side, 'cept maybe a dinner roll with as much butter on it as it can physically hold.

Lou,
Reminds me of a student given the task of using a barometer to determine the height of a building. He dropped the barometer from the top of the building ,determined the time it took to smash on the sidewalk below and came up with the exact height of the building , but was flunked by the professor.

I read that story about N. Bohr, but alas I think it is fake.

Spike,
Are you saying the steak and beer or that a steak and specifically a Samuel Adams Boston Lager. I can't say that I've had the Samuel Adams Boston Lager or can remember having it.

Specifically Samual Adams Boston Lager. It's great!

Not possible to determine the exact height of a bldg in this manner. Even if you did the test a dozen times you wouldn't get a statistically significant answer, certainly not an exact answer.

I'll definitely make it a point to pick up a couple of six packs and give it a try.

Would the change in barometric pressure have that much of an affect on the calculations?

What Does It All Mean?

And now Lou's thread lay dormant for 87+ hours. I'm stunned and amazed, dazed and confused (for so long it's not true).

Well, as the song says, Life is Life.

LOL! Those guys look like a bunch o' goose-stepping brown shirts if you ask me ... but I must confess, I kinda like the music. It's sorta "catchy." That can't be that guy's real voice, can it?

A scary thought. They could have been big as the beatles had hitler won.

not sure I understand your question. I was referring to the "dropping the barometer" approach and timing the descent.

I don't quite understand how one could use the barometric pressure to measure the height of a building. Someone questioned if it would be accurate or would you get the same calculation everytime. I was curious if any changes in barometric pressure from one moment to another would change the caluclation of the height and give you different heights each time.
