I learned about the cone that forms over the nose of a jet while breaking the sound barrier. It's water vapor that gets compressed between the crests of the sound waves produced by the jet. Anybody else got anything interesting? New braces hurt children very much.

Here's an odd one ... Didya know ... Reproductively speaking, a cob of corn's kernels are comparative to ovaries ... And, EACH kernel has ONE corn silk strand allotted to it, comparative to a singular sperm. Majik ... Streuth

i'm looking forward to see what things you'd come up with to make the ideas and things i've built already....be more efficient. i have faith in you, and your ideas and abilities, and your generous heart to improve your surroundings we live in...maybe early fall. did you ever notice that this "cone" resembles a lenticular cloud? the ones you see on mountain tops? and thunderstorm anvils? Gee and the ones you see sometimes arround UFO sightings... Airforce going fast... Or someone that can break that same barrier and make no sound. all of the above

I look forward to seeing the designs, but can't make any promises on anything I can do with em. I'm only so smart. So mountains and t-storm anvils are really traveling above mach 1?!?!

I learned I'm a shopaholic... Ok fine, I already knew that but it was reinforced today...

Or someone that can break that same barrier and make no sound. They're actually already working on that so that military jets can fly supersonic through enemy territory without letting out a boom to let enemies know they're there, or for commercial flights over land. It has something to do with altering the shape of the nose of the plane. Was I supposed to say that?!? Oops....shhhh. I know NOTHING!
