    Al, you really have no idea how much work goes into designing and building these things. It's an asbolutely enormous undertaking. And just about every aspect of the design, construction and testing is probably beyond your mental faculties.

        Al reveres brute physical strength above everything. This argument is just another manifestation of this.

            The brain is far more malleable than the body is. It takes more man hours and more exertion to get to a 10.0 100m than it does to learn enough undergraduate engineering to build a buggy.

            And many people will simply never be capable of running a 10.0 100m, limited by genetics. I would guess a greater percentage of the human population is physically incapable of running a 10.0 100m than are able to learn some undergraduate engineering.
            Who cares? If God told you that you could have every human on Earth become twice as smart or have every human on Earth run four times faster, which would be more effective for improving the world?

            Also, I bet plenty of monkeys can run a 10.0 100m, although monkeys prefer climbing trees at speeds far faster than humans.

              Running faster will obviously help us to escape the aliens.

                HC, dont bother with Al, he isn't worth the energy. You seem to be real interested, so this site may be interesting link/. It's made of engineers so it's of course dulll and boring but you may like it.
                With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                    I'm waiting for Al to start comparing Temple's rankings to CMU.

                      I can build Temple in Civ. No CMU in Civ. Temple wins.

                        And don't let this thread get you down, HC. Keep training, some day you can reach your dreams!

                          Cool runnings was a ****ing terrible movie

                          But buggy is an excellent sport, you are just too stupid to appreciate its brilliance.
