A local Long John Silver's had "Dungeonous" crabs for sale, and a local McDonald's has a cream "dispener". I've given up on trying to remember them all. Hand-written signs and those plastic letter signs are usually great places to find outrageous (and sometimes hilarious) errors.
My wife's Mazda 5 sounded off like the Enterprise going code red the other day because of a low tire alert. Luckily, after all the klaxons stopped sounding, a single 'idiot light' was illuminated - a tire with a '!' over it. Pretty clear. Thank heavens it was that all of her tires were a little low and not just one of them.
Actually canola stands for "Canadian Oil, Low Acid", as in low levels of erucic acid, a major constituent of Lorenzo's Oil. The seeds used for canola are from Brassica napus L. and B. campestris L. (naturally low in erucic acid). Oils from other varieties are indeed machine oil, and there are varieties engineered to produce high levels of erucic acid (HEAR oils) for industrial purposes.
And we could all pronounce "Crynwr". I remember downloading a wav or au file over UUCP of the correct pronunciation, which was sorta kinda like "Crennew".
I doubt you had a personal internet connection in '85. Likely you had a UUCP connection, like I did for gnd0. UUNet (claimed to be the first ISP) didn't come into existence until '87, and that was as a UUCP hub until it launched IP-based AlterNet in '90.
There are plenty of sats tracked by the seesat group that change orbit. The Lacrosse and USA birds come to mind. Buried in the archive are messages about sats being early/late/missing with regard to very recent orbital elements; that usually indicates a burn.
The NOSS formations have been seen to reboost, as has VORTEX 6.
Where N is N, W, or K, and 1 is 0-9. There are also ones that start with AA-AL followed by a digit and 1-2 letters. There are tons of special ones for territories, etc, but they are typically of the same form. I think the only exception is that an 'X' can't follow the number (that denotes as experimental station).
Then they don't have any jurisdiction, do they? They can't have it both ways - either you're in the US and they have jurisdiction, or you're not and they don't.
Unless you're built rather differently than everyone else, your digestive system is a tract, not a track. I sincerely hope your output does not loop back around to your input.

PS - A local Italian restaurant features "Child Spaghetti" on their menu.
Especially Illinois Grammar Nazis.
I sing bass and I'm not dumb!

I sure as hell was.

Electrons? That's Beta radiation! That would certainly explain the dumbing-down of the MTV generation, though.
Perhaps you meant photons.
Windowsers installing Winsock TCP/IP separately...

I'm 45, so you get off _my_ lawn. :-)
Bah! I've got you beat. What's a disk drive? I loaded my programs from cassette.
Most of them were hand-assembled Z80 machine code POKE'd into memory from DATA statements. Oh the joys of teaching yourself machine language!
Step 1: News reports "An arrest was made today in a $CRIME_DUJOUR case."
Step 2: Trial happens.
Step 3: If guilty, news reports "Mr. X, who was arrested for $CRIME_DUJOUR 5 weeks ago, was today convicted and sentenced to $TERM years."
If not guilty, news reports nothing, optimally, or that "The suspect arrested for $CRIME_DUJOUR was not convicted."
"He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing."
That's what I said.
Without means of propulsion you cannot orient yourself in space.
False. You specifically said 'orient' as opposed to 'change orbit'.
Magnetotorqing and reaction wheels provide thrustless orientation control.

I saw Battlestar Galactica in Sensurround in (cough, cough) 1978. Neat, but not awe-inspiring. It was apparently the last Sensurround movie made.
Another strange-yet-beguiling indie B&W movie. It even features a song and dance scene in a men's room.

Yet the station relies on the Russian Progress modules for resupply, a Russian Soyuz module as an escape craft, and the only access to the station after the final shuttle launch will be via Russian Soyuz spacecraft, which "...is launched by the Soyuz rocket, the most frequently used and the most reliable launch vehicle in the world."
My opinion is that Russian equipment is solidly (over)built, simple to operate, and simply designed for reliability.
Is that your Beech? What happened to it? The wing looks like crumpled and burned aluminum foil.
You can often tell what service a callsign is in by its format. All Amateur calls in the US are of the form:
N1A
N1AA
N1AAA
NA1A
NA1AA
Where N is N, W, or K, and 1 is 0-9. There are also ones that start with AA-AL followed by a digit and 1-2 letters.

47 CFR 2.302 defines the callsign formats.
There are lively hoods at stake...
As opposed to those lazy hoods at stake?
...getting most of their information from Television station WA2Z?
I doubt that Albert Lee runs an Amateur Radio television station, and that the town of Woodside, NY gets most of its information from it.
Then they don't have any jurisdiction, do they? They can't have it both ways - either you're in the US and they have jurisdiction, or you're not and they don't.
Stoats, goats, shoats, ostritches, ...
