I actually know the answer to that. It's like our trucks, they make the same machine for all applications and then modify them slightly.

 

Actually not really. When I was in the Navy, I was a nuclear power plant operator. We had some publication that compared energy production to nuclear power (civilian nuclear power anyway) and in virtually every case nuclear power was more expensive. Mainly due to waste and regulatory fee's combined with more labor costs. I couldn't find that particular publication, but I did find this comparing coal to nuclear power with just a quick search.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm all for nuclear power in addition to fossil fuels (I'm graduating in a year with a Petroleum Engineering degree).

 

you guys think it would be feasible to build a nuclear-powered F-150? they did it with a plane, im sure they can do it with a truck

 

The plane itself was not nuclear powered. It (B-36) flew with gasoline (piston engines) and jet fuel (turbojets). It just carried a small reactor on-board.

 

Two actors were in a movie together and later became Governors.

What was the name of the movie?

 

Ace Ventura?

 

Not what I was thinking. I thought it might be too easy but, with that answer I'm going to have to ask you name the two governors.

Not saying you're wrong, I just don't know who the two future governors are in Ace Ventura.
(Maybe there are two movies...)

 

Predator. (Jesse Ventura and Arnold).

 

The original Predator.

Jesse and Arnold.

Beat cha to it.

 

Bet you can't guess who invented Kingsford charcoal briquet's

 

And has been since the 1920s, when Henry Ford learned of a process for turning wood scraps from the production of Model T's into charcoal briquets. He built a charcoal plant, and the rest is history.

The Kingsford Company was formed when E.G. Kingsford, a relative of Ford's, brokered the site selection for Ford's new charcoal manufacturing plant. The company, originally called Ford Charcoal, was renamed KingsfordŽ Charcoal in his honor.

Today, the Kingsford Products Company remains the leading manufacturer of charcoal in the U.S. More than 1 million tons of wood scraps are converted into quality charcoal briquets every year.

Barbequing with charcoal has become immensely popular since Ford's time, and even today, more people prefer the taste of charcoal-grilled food to gas. *

 

Why are apartments so close together?

 

No, you're right. I had no idea, so I just picked a movie with lots of animals. Perhaps Mr Doolittle, would have been more appropriate?

Hah, I wish. It sucked living in an apartment where the suites were reversed. Your bedroom was always right beside the bedroom on the other side of the wall. I don't really want to hear you doing ... well ... her.
