    When you click on DNS-and-BIND (submitter of this story) you link to this web site. It looks fake, particularly the page about their spokeswoman. But you can google and find recipes with their product mentioned. If the company is real, some industrious /.er should make a new page, and sell it to them. It would be an offer they couldn't refuse.

    Results so far
    The first one crashed, and the second one crashed as well. Each crash killed the then-president of the company developing the BD-10 for the market. Rights to the design were bounced around for a while, and I believe it's pretty much in limbo, now. At one point, a Canadian outfit was trying to develop it as a low-cost military trainer, but nothing came of it. I think there were four originally built... the Bede prototype, two crashed as noted above, and one constructed by a customer. There are two listed in the 2001 registration database. The prototype is still listed as being owned by Bede Jet Corporation, and the other one is registered to a man in California.(text from http://www.ipilot.com/learn/expert-view.asp?cur=0& cid=3)

    'If time is a man-made creation'

    Actually, God created time. It was His first creation (It had to be His first creation, because without time there is no such thing as sequence, nothing could have been created 'firster'). Anyway, God created time so he could allow for a thing called choice. He wanted to create beings who could chose to love Him, or chose not to. Without time there is no choice. When the Bible says " In the beginning ..." the beginning it is talking about is the beginning of time. People of rational nature have trouble understanding creation because they are told God is eternal, which they mentally translate to infinate. Then they think " OK, God exited infinately prior to creation, so that means God waited FOREVER, and after FOREVER WAS OVER, he created. And since eternity never ends, this is a lame excuse to explain where I came from, and why I am here. I think my great grandfather was a frog....." The truth is God existed without time (or length, width or height for that matter). He created these standards of measurement for us.

    Day 1 God created time, the earth, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
    Day 2 God created the four states of matter (seperated evaporated water from condensed water)
    Day 3 God created Gravity (Water ran downhill to expose dry land) and plants.
    Day 4 God created the universe.
    Day 5 God created swimming animals and birds.
    Day 6 God created land animals, man, and eternal souls to dwell inside man, and chose to love God, ignore God, or hate God.
