Alan: It looks like a primitive VLF or ULF antenna to me -- at one time such low frequencies were used to communicate with submarines under shallow water, and the Earth's own magnetosphere emits in those bands making them of interest to physicists.

in response to Secret Transmitter

BELROC IOF: There is also another Bel doing freight right now. I would have to see the train to tell you. Guess its a common name now. And yes that bridge across from the DMV was my spot for years. Now the police watch it. Because of the internet.

adam: peter: WTF?! that thread is insane! how have i not ever noticed it. talk about a social commentary..

in response to Slutshole Lane

Peter: heh... its so true, though. my reality indicates that just about every new yorker i know winces upon hearing the name "mccain", wanted to punch giuliani every time he over-invoked 9/11 while campaigning and basically disney-fied every visitor-friendly part of nyc while letting vital services in the outer boroughs suffer...

in response to Accept Christ and Buy a Gun

Ender: This is simply marvelous. Thank you for sharing these photos. Contrary to what someone said above, the Clockwork Orange doesn't look much like this anymore, though I can just barely recall riding it in this state as a child. Anyway, a nice glimpse from the past. Thank you again!

Ender: I for one find travelling deep down Slutshole Lane to be much easier when it is moist, so bring on those heavy rains.

in response to Slutshole Lane

zagg: wait wait; ok i have one more... Tell us Ender, is Slutshole Lane paved or is it a dirt road? I can only imagine how messy a dirt covered Slutshole Lane could be in a heavy rain. tee hee --- oh I slay myself. hahah.
