When Spun Really Fast, CDs Explode
Anonymous Coward writes: "Ever wonder why cd-rom/cd-rw drives are not getting any faster? Wonder why they heat up? This page has a rather amusing experiment where they put various CD's into something that can spin up to 30,000RPM and found that most cd's explode at just around 28,000RPM. Oh and they seem to like using Corel CD-ROM discs for their experiment." Update: Yep, it's a dupe...

You forgot to kiss. You insensitive, inconsiderate bastard.

Most prostitutes don't allow you to kiss....err..or so I've been told.
Yep, that's right. I spun my sister around when she was teeny weeny, and I ended up wearing the contents of her tummy. I apologize for not recording the RPM it took to do that.
I wonder if you can get more Karma by plagiarizing the highest scored posts from the previous story...
The obvious, although impractical solution, is to find out why people want to destroy a bloody plane they are currently flying sending everyone on board to a fiery death.
Yes, I know the answer is 'Terrorists hate Americans', but why? If we are doing something to piss them off then stop it.
Or we could just sedate all passengers before the trip. This would save $ (no more flight attendants, no more little peanuts)
Also, anyone know why they bother with oxygen masks and seats that may be used a floatation devices? My understanding was that when a plane went down the death ratio was most likely very high.
Oh great. Now CD players will be banned from planes.
I doubt it. The RIAA has enough dough to buy Dubya, just like the tobacco industry did...
