Look... I'm a pure physics degree and ... been involved in the ocean all my life. I've been looking for many many pictures of the N Korean torpedo that sunk the south korean ship.

http://news.aol.ca/ca/article/north-korea-fired-de...

There are not many pictures..

The ones I have looked at are not very clear but look as if the Aluminium propeller was covered in barnacles which were rather amaturely removed.. Such a level of barnacles means the water was shallow enough for sunlight to penetrate and that the propeller had to have been at this location for a year.

However the rest of the components look surprisingly uncharacteristic of having been underwater for a year.. not enough rust. The problem is.. deep water would show less rust than this... even after a few months. So .. again shallow water.. which is not the place where the S korean boat went down.

Then..... these pictures show a motor .. location wings and a prop shaft..which would have driven this North Korean torpedo towards a south Korean ship. This torpedo would have exploded with such a force that the location wings, as well as most of the components of the torpedo would have been destroyed. Here we see a complete commutator, location wings and blades of a propeller shaft. Now.. this propeller would have been outside of the body of the torpedo which would have gone through bearings.. so pieces of the outer body would still be present.. There are none.. seems to infer the outer body components have been removed afterwards.

So. my question is.. and I'm not a conspiracy loonie, and I don't particularly like what N Korea is doing to it's people but.. come on... this is a lie being perpetuated.. or do you think I'm wrong and what is your educated argument against what I have said?

I have just been told by the "ADJUDICATORS" at Yahoo that my answer has just been banned. The question was about a person with an old cat which needed putting down. The person obviously understood very little and I said he should put it in a bag attached to the exhaust of a car. The carbon monoxide which is odourless and tasteless would kill it. This answer was banned but the question was not.. I don't know.. sounds really anal to me.. what do you think? I can guarantee they will not ban this question!!!!!

Clutch slipping... I realise this is a common problem for the dragstars but the bike has only done 15,000 Klicks and replacing the clutch plates seems a bit of overkill. Has anyone found a solution to the problem?

the battery sometimes retains it's charge, sometimes does not. Obviously an electrical problem Withsomething leaking to earth. I can only think of the rectifier but if this was breaking down the problem would not be sporadic as it is now. We did think of the starter solenoid but that is only activated with the ignition and starter switch.. I'd be really happy if some Honda Scooter Boffin knew the answer to this tickler.

I play a lot of scrqbble on line and really... It's sad and pathetic.. Cheats, quitters and simply downright nasty people.

I cannot believe this is a typical cross section of society. I believe these are lonely and rather mentally dysfunctional individuals who need help. They seem to have more in common with poloticians rather than with normal people.. what are your thoughts?
