What can you do that most other people cannot do?

[Killer Bees]

I can read Tarot cards with a fair amount of accuracy.

Could I ask you seriously to do a reading for me? I've always wanted to know what my future holds. 

Sure thing honey.  Just tell me what you want to know.  Each question is a separate reading and I can do as many as you like 

One of the questions I wouldn't ask is "Will my crappy undies ever be clean?"  (as if they ever were)

1. My health is a major problem for me and I would like to know if it will improve ~ we're talking mental issues here.
2. I don't know if this can be answered but: Is my Dad at peace where he is?
3. Will my finances improve?

Okay I will get onto those questions for you and send the answers toyour hotmail account.

Thanks for those, KB: all received and they really helped too.  

YOu're welcome, sweetie.  It always makes me happy when my readings help people.  It means my skills are getting better.

I know a hell of about cars- and I'm 16!

Without looking it up, what are the ten different displacements the small block Chevy V8 engine was available in?

262, 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327. 350, 400.

How many of those were made by simply by combining parts from two different SBC motors?

302 was made by putting a 283 crank in a 327 block, a 307 was made by putting a 327 crank in a 283 block.

Which one was the only one NOT internally balanced?

The 400.

What is the easiest way to tell the difference between a Ford 9" rear end and a Ford 8" rear end without taking it apart?

You can fit a deepwell socket on EVERY bolt holding the 3rd member in on a 9" but not an 8".

What is unique to the Chevy 'w' series motors?

They are the only engines made where the deck surface is NOT square to the cylinder bore.

What was the first passenger car engine to make 1 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement?

There were 3 advanced (for the time) safety features that were left off the Ford Pinto that may well have made it one of the safest cars or the time, what were they?

Anti-lock brakes, airbags, and bladderized fuel cells.

What do the numbers that make up a tire configuration mean. For Example 275/75R17



None of these are relevant to modern cars.. . .

no, but more of the carb cars. Also, home made dragsters!

I can destroy anything in under fifteen seconds...

Guys that fall under the "could break an anvil with a q-tip" category seem retarded.

Women that fall under that category seem kinda sexy.

I grew up in a woods and we had a wood burning stove so I did a fair amount of cutting wood when I was a kid/youth. Yesterday I cut down a 7 truncked (very split open/branchy) 25foot tall tree that was within about 20 feet of clearance between my neighbors pines and my power lines (maybe only 15ft up) which the tree was leaning over. My equipment - ladder, rope, bowsaw, pruning saw, loppers.  An addept reader would notice the lack of a chainsaw. This was a slow process involving cutting a wedge out of  the non-powerline side of the tree, tying a rope to it, and slightly counter-cutting it followed by pulling the tree with the rope. I didn't want to go to fast but I would like to mention that I got the tree down without damaging my neighbors pines (ok, not too much, nothing she will notice) or ending up in the newspaper under the heading "local idiot knocks out power to town". 

I must say I'm pretty impressed with some of the car knowledge on this board. I must admit I'm not that good at cars (e.g. I know how they work but I don't have the various engines, models, etc. memorized). My dad couldn't pass this test for Fords but he could for VW's and porshe's (he's a huge fan of German cars and used to run a shop as a side job where he would work on them, this was back in the 70's/80's when he was the only guy in town who had a set of metric wrenches). He actually told me last weekend 

[WildHoosier09]

Ouch, midsentence posting and posted... as I was saying: My dad told me last weekend (with tears in his eyes) he has to buy an American SUV for his next car because he's having trouble getting into the cars he used to as he's getting older.

This isn't something I can DO really, but I think I have the oiliest skin in the world.  I tried looking it up to see if there was a record for it and I couldn't find one.  I don't think anyone wants to record these things.

This reminds me of a popular insult from when I was a teenager.  YOU COULD GREASE A FRYING PAN WITH THAT FACE.  Of course, I would never say such a thing to you.  Mostly because you'd probably kill me with a voodoo doll or something.

It'd be more fun to tease her for not being able to tread water anyways. "What's the matter? Aren't you FAT like the rest of us? You can't float, can you? Oh, you haven't eaten 6 slices of cheesecake every day for the last year, have you? Your beer-gut is pathetically small. What's the matter, is your cholesterol level within acceptable parameters? What's the matter, are you staying healthy because you're afraid of Heart Disease?"

She's got a "blood room" in her house - I wouldn't mess with her

Paquita's greasy face is fine with me and I like her just the way she is.

Ha. That's what I was thinking. (don't mess with her)

Oddly enough, there IS a record for longest nipple hair. I saw it online, went and measured mine, and found mine were just as long as the record holder's. Someone has since beaten the record, so now I just have world-class nipple hair, not world-record nipple hair. Is that something I should really post online?

I deserve to be teased about both.  Doesn't grease always float?

Are we talking hair as in plural, or a single hair?  This is quite a claim, Derf.  I think we need a picture of you holding a ruler up to your nipple hair as proof.
