Very nice!

Last I heard I the Aludium Q-36 Pumpkin Modulator was the record
holder, firing a pumpkin more than 4400 feet. Yes, nearly a statute
mile! That was back in 1998. I wonder if they've passed the mile mark
yet.

Someone may one day beat that record, but they'll *never* beat that name!

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
