I did the same in my 84 rabbit. The way I got around not having a block heater in the Winter when I was in college was to put 1 gallon of gasoline in the tank and fill the tank the rest of the way with diesel. The owners manual actually recommended mixing kerosine with the diesel in the winter if only diesel#2 was available.
Never had starting issues, but the car would smoke like hell for the first 5 minutes when the temp was 20 degrees F or below.
That engine had its original seals until around 240000 miles and my dad continued to drive the car until 320000 miles. At which point he donated it to charity.
I just unwrapped a 10 pack of CD-RWs I purchased 2 years ago. The failure rate is about 50%. I keep getting Track Following Errors or Bad Block errors. Tried burning with a Yamaha 3200s and my Thinkpad CDRW. Errors are given both under 2000 and different Linux distros.
Nice to see the price I paid for these went towards QA.
Several hundred years in the future, geeks will successfully use time travel to travel back in time and kill Rick Berman before he has a chance to destroy the Star Trek canon.
Somewhere in the story, the governer of California is going to be involved too. (You vill be Ahhhhsimulaht, Ahhsimu...Ahhsim. Vot the hell, you vill be TEHHHHMANATED!)
India has just announced that they will be outsourcing all government officials and associated elections to the United States.
An unamed individual was quoted saying, "This is a very positive move for India. The savings will be good for our country because the US has the most skilled politicians that can be bought for the lowest price."

The reason for that is that water makes a plentiful rocket fuel.
I already have a water powered rocket.
More importantly, our giant, alian, ant overlords don't stand a chance!

Got the same from my 84 diesel Rabbit. 1984 was the last year that VW built them in Pennsylvania.

OMG!!! I havn't heard that song in almost 12 years! That was about the funniest thing I've read in a while.
You spray it on elementary school kids when the weather is nice, or when a substitute teacher is due. And on jail inmates.
Do we REALLY need to spray Pheromones on jail inmates??? I've heard what happens in prison.
Save up for the Mr. Fusion. Cold fusion will become a reality LONG before the Cubs win the World Series.

A) By the taste.

Back to you Kent.
Who would win in the Battlebots arena,
R2D2 or TWIKI from Buck Rogers?
Do you think that our chimpanzee-esque forebearers preserved the history orally all of that time?
No, the Monolith did that for them.
