    If you and I ran a marathon, how long until we both collapsed from exhaustion?

    We have to run? Prob 1k for me. I'd give you 3k.
    Do we never make it to the exhaustion point because most marathons seem to start in or around a casino?

    Much better plan.

    What percentage of forum members do you think know who Charles Babbage is without looking him up in Wikipedia?

    BTW, nobody would have a clue about his research if Ada Lovelace hadn't been around to rewrite all of his papers.

  • Which branch of the service was your Grandfather in?

    Did he serve in the British, Canadian, or one of the other Allied Forces?

    Any medals for valour and, if so, which ones?

    Also, kudos for recognizing the importance of said medals, and for keeping them together. They are, I am sure, a treasured family heirloom.

    RCAF Air Gunner on a Halifax Bomber. He was with the 408th (iirc) for a while.

    Can't remember what they are for off hand. They are very much treasured (obv the "value" I put on them is not monetary). As the oldest grandson, he had left them to me in his will.
  • Air Gunner?!? Holy Fuck !!! Lucky to have seen the end of the War in that line of work . . . 408 Squadron carried out some pretty nasty sorties, including a couple trips to Berlin. Your Grandfather earned his pay, and then some.

    Sorry, forgot to ask a question:

    Do you keep them on display?

    They were very fortunate. were never shot down but a couple of times barely made it back to England.

    Not on display. Right now I keep them in a safe deposit box along with one of his flight log books (or whatever the military term is)

    2. what is your earliest memory?
    3. I get paid today, if you guess the "cents" on my net pay, I will fwd you $20 (that's a binding deal) What's your guess?

    Yeah I thought of that one too. Makes you wonder if character names are chosen for their hidden, underlying references sometimes . . .

    Keeping in mind we are the same age, do you think the Alzheimer's is kicking in a little early for me?

    also, do you subscribe to the theory that, once our brains become "full" we can only learn new things by forgetting old ones?
