POPSExploding hot water heater.Mythbusters Mythbusters Funny clip Steam Power Submitted by DoctorK on Sun, 10/26/2008 - 10:51am. One of the Mythbusters shows looked at the risk of exploding water heaters. By disabling the safety valve, they got dramatic explosions, with the internal tank flying hundreds of feet in the air. Very impressive in ultra slow motion, it motivated me to (safely) flush my water heater and check the functioning of the relief valve.

POPSJury Awards $2.5 million to Teen Beaten by KKK An all-white jury of seven men and seven women deliberated for five hours after three days of testimony. The suit alleged that Edwards, Hensley, and the Imperial Klans of America as a whole incited its members to use violence against minorities. "The people of Meade County, Kentucky, have spoken loudly and clearly.

POPS The Illusion Of Hope Triumphs The rout of our democracy by a combination of Marxist idealogues and arab cash is now well underway. Our republic is about to be subverted from within. Obama will preside over the greatest expansion of the federal government since the New Deal tilting it farther to the extreme left and towards the model of a failed european socialist state with all the concomitant dependence on government welfare. The current financial crisis will be used as an excuse for government to spread its tentacles over every aspect of our national life. He has already displayed a disturbing inclination towards suppressing criticism which will continue with the imposition of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" on broadcasters. His tax policies and the financing required for his universal health-care program, if unaltered, will plunge us into a depression. His party of idealogue obstructionists will prohibit off-shore drilling.

POPS5 questions about pumpkin throwing A trebuchet is similar to a catapult, but there are differences. Can you explain them? A trebuchet is a gravity-driven machine. A catapult is a torsion-driven machine, where they twist ropes. At this year's contest you tossed a pumpkin 1,897 feet, nearly 200 feet farther than the guy in second place. To what do you attribute your success? Brute force. We win just because we're bigger and heavier than the other machines. Our machine is about 65 feet tall and weighs 26 tons.
