Douglas DC 9 aircraft with ventral stairs were also equipped with Cooper vanes. The DC 9-21 used for skydiving at the 2006 World Free Fall Convention in Rantoul, Illinois, had one installed, but since the rear pressure bulkhead door and the stairs had been removed to facilitate fast jumper exits, the vane, which was left in place, did not prevent jumps.[3]

a plane modified for skydiving disabled the devices that stopped skydivers from skydiving, so they were able to skydive

In essence, then, James Bond doesn't seem to care that his martini will be ugly upon presentation, or he might prefer the "shaken" version for its texture, or for the fact that he will receive his drink slightly earlier because shaking chills a liquid faster.

In English, words like "ummm" and "uh" are used as filler words when you're thinking about what to say. In Chinese, 那个 (nèige) is used for this purpose. This can sound a bit "racist"[2] to some English speakers, but it's very common in Mandarin and you'll hear it quite often around Chinese speakers.

2↑ See This or That? Mandarin and the "N" word for elaboration

"Burnsides" became "sideburns" probably because of their location on the side of the face.[citation needed]

Although the character Harry Flashman famed villain of Tom Brown's Schooldays (1857) by Thomas Hughes (1822–1896) was known to have sported 'sideburns' at a time when Ambrose Burnside was neither famous or a General.

Decline [edit]

Attacks on the theories surrounding the ability of tobacco to cure diseases had begun early in the 17th century. King James I was scathing of its effectiveness, writing "[it] will not deigne to cure heere any other than cleanly and gentlemanly diseases." Others claimed that smoking dried out the humours, that snuff made the brain sooty, and that old people should not smoke as they were naturally dried up anyway.[19]

While certain beliefs regarding the effectiveness of tobacco smoke to protect against disease persisted until well into the 20th century,[20] the use of smoke enemas in Western medicine declined after 1811, when through animal experimentation Benjamin Brodie demonstrated that nicotine—the principal active agent in tobacco smoke—is a cardiac poison that can stop the circulation of blood.[5]

The lyrics for the song tell of the singer meeting a "devil woman" and she giving him love. The chorus of the song includes the song's famous stutter and speaks of her looking at him with big brown eyes and [saying] 'You ain't seen nothin' yet. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain't seen na, na, nothin yet. Here's somethin' that you're never gonna forget. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain't seen na, na, nothin yet.'

Later, the song was once planned to be sung only by Simba and Nala but in the end the idea was scrapped because the directors decided it was an "unearned" moment between Simba and Nala.

This concept was altered dramatically when Janet Pack became involved in dramatic readings of the works, as Pack's personal characteristics had a strong impact on how those involved in the process viewed the kender. According to Jeff Grubb, she, "and as a result all kender since her, was cute. Extremely cute. Sweetly, lovably, frustratingly cute.... And it's hard, after seeing Janet play Tas, to imagine them any other way."

i can name three places just in london where that could happen (assuming the criteria is road bridge over train bridge over river/canal)

in fact at connaught road before they closed silverlink (and again when crossrail reopens) you've got a rail tunnel under a dock under a road bridge under the flight path of london city airport so you could have a plane over a car over a boat over a train

oh god is the 'tism contagious?
