Jets (and eggs) du jour

20090606-125736-1113If the afterburning turbofans were too much, you could also tie some balsa wood to your back then hold on to a 500-plus horsepower prop engine and fly underneath 20-ft limbo poles.  That’s what this guy and others like him do for their jollies.  One lady even did all that upside down.  Impressive, and a little nutty.

Below, an F-16 in the middle of a high-G turn.  My friend (a Physics PhD student) says the white-streaked “clouds” on the wings is condensation being lifted off.  Neither of us can figure out why the engine flame (or exhaust or whatever it is) comes out in pulses.  Why not just a solid flame or smoke?

Finally, and almost as exciting, I cooked up a tasty breaktfast-for-dinner course the other day.  I call it Eggs Spencir.  The principal ingredients were eggs, red pepper flakes, diced onion, cut-up sausage, and quartered cherry tomatos.  Everything combined as a scrambled-egg kind of an omelette.  Very tasty!  Too moist for Emily, though–she likes her eggs more like cardboard or drywall than like eggs.  Bless her heart.
