[MBZ] One of you needs to make this hood ornament

2008-02-13 Thread Zoltan Finks
Leave it to How It's Made - one of my favorite shows.
Besides reminding me today one of the reasons I don't eat meat, they are
showing how a Rolls Royce is made.

I didn't know that the hood ornament was retractable via a switch! I would
absolutely enjoy having that on my Benzes!

Not only would it be kept safe from vandals, it would really put me in the
correct Mercedes mood every time I got ready to set out on the road. Flick -
vrooop - up comes the Star!

I am confident that one of you geniuses can design one of these and then
tell us all how to do it - or sell us a kit.

yeah, it could be connected to the intake, and it could double as an early
warning sign.  If your Star looks a little lopsided, you may have a vacuum
leak. ;-)

Yeah, but I don't recall the sorting method. Didn't a certain gender fall
down a chute into a bin and the other sucked to the side or something?
Not an animal rights advocate, but it is a bit of a shock to see animals
treated like inanimate objects.

IIRC, there was an inspector that *flung* them into the correct chute. 
It certainly was a bit of a shock, but they didn't seem to be terribly 
upset by it!  Nor the falling inbetween rollers to separate them from 
the eggshells.

Well... looks like YouTube comes to the rescue

It is definitely a good show.  A nice change of pace from all the drama 
make sure you come back after the commercial break type shows.
