P51-Mustang

As well as being economical to produce, the Mustang was a fast, well-made, and highly durable aircraft. The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650, a two-stage two-speed supercharged version of the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, and was armed with six .50 in (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns.

Art-Kan achieve-Nuthang?

SUMMARY OF COMMUNICATION 0001-People have allowed themselves to be robbed of their child's right to paint by giving up their power to communicate to the pathetic professionals. We at Group Hangman denounce the violence of the so-called 'professionals' and stand firm by the rights and laudability of the intrepid explorer. In short the critic without and within must be smashed and trampled underfoot. Above all else we uphold the individual's right to remain ignorant

Crimes of the future: The role of the artist against
conceptualism and the idiocy of ideas.

1. Good taste is fascism. "Either all are special or none."
2. It is the artist's responsibility to smash style.
3. Artistic talent is the only obstacle.
4. We must embrace the unacceptable in all spheres.
5. We use the tough language that only children can
bear.
6. Art is made to impress, but we are not in awe.
7. Artists don't laugh in case the mob should discover
that they are pathetic.
8. Western art has been stupefying its audience into
taking the position of an admiring doormat. We, at
Group Hangman however, intend to wipe our
mud-encrusted boots on the face of conceptual
balderdash.
9. Fashion and its role in art. The artist as social
terrorist or on the pay-roll of the conservatives and
the Saatchi's ?
10. Art can achieve nothing.
11. The negative and bogus posture of being positive.
To like something or 'be positive' has always been
held up as a laudable attribute. We, at Group Hangman
however, believe that it takes consciousness and
intelligence to dislike something. As if being a fan
of some moronical half-wit artist or musician is an
achievement. How often in life have we met 'a fan' who
by their violent devotion to the god-like status of
their chosen infatuation is really only puffing up
their own shabby ego and trying to allude to some vast
expansion of their pathetic brain.
12. The conceptual artist arrives on the scene and
frozen with fear, like some anal retard, is too scared
to transmute their ideas into paint and commence a
string of unacceptably pathetic canvasses and thereby
experience themselves as crap. It is essential for
every artist to paint a succession of unacceptably bad
paintings.

Ju 52

The Junkers Ju 52 (nicknamed Tante Ju - "Auntie Ju" - and "Iron Annie") was a German transport aircraft manufactured from 1932 to 1945. It saw both civilian and military service during the 1930s and 1940s. In a civilian role, it flew with over 12 air carriers including Swissair and Lufthansa as an airliner and freight hauler. In a military role, it flew with the Luftwaffe as a troop and cargo transport and briefly as a medium bomber. The Ju 52 continued in postwar service with military and civilian air fleets well into the 1980s.

I really love this age, it truly is sublime
In every high street shop it's disco music time
Marketed rebellion is just another case
Of walking up the high street with shrapnel in your face
We've come such a long way from fishes in the slime
To monkeys at the zoo, well now it's feeding time
Twenty-four hour drinking, what were they thinking?
CCTV cameras catching your good kicking
To be rich and famous would suit you just fine
To speak with David Bowie in martian and in mime
Big Brother on the telly is just another case
Of lying on the sofa with a moron in your face
Here's a little sweetie to rot your perfect teeth
Here's instant credit to help you have belief
This is marketed pop and we're building all the time
But to love mediocrity isn't such a crime
So that's a little story now we're running out of time
The ice caps are melting but the weather's looking fine
Identikit addiction is just another symptom
Of six billion people causing too much friction
Snack crack....Yeah- snack ....crack ...Love....
snack crack , Oh snack crack
My shoes are made by children on the other side of earth
They don't get a piss break but I think it's worth it
Looking cool and talking black is just another case
And if they direspect you slap your bitch's face

As dreams are made on

"Be cheerful, my friend. Our revels are now ended.

These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits.

and Are melted into air, into thin air: And,

like the baseless fabric of this vision,

The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,

The solemn temples, the great theatre itself,

Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,And,

like this insubstantial pageant faded,

Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff

As dreams are made on;

and our little life...... Is rounded with a sleep."-[W. Shakespeare]

The West Wind by Tom Thomson

Thomson disappeared during a canoeing trip on Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park on July 8, 1917 and his body was discovered in the lake eight days later. The official cause of death was accidental drowning, but there are still questions about how he actually died. It was reported that there was fishing line wrapped around his leg seventeen times and he had a head injury (which may have been post mortem).[citation needed] It has also been speculated that he was murdered by a German-American neighbour, Martin Blecher, Jr., or that he fell on a fire grate during a drunken brawl with J. Shannon Fraser, owner of Canoe Lake's Mowat Lodge, over an old loan to Fraser for the purchase of canoes.

Horses Asses

This is fascinating.
Be sure to read the final paragraph; your understanding of it will depend on the earlier part of the content.
The U. S. standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches.
That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used?
Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates designed the U. S. railroads.
Why did the English build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.
Why did 'they' use that gauge then?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.
Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.
So who built those old rutted roads?
Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore, the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever.
So the next time you are handed a specification/ procedure/ process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' asses.)
Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRB's had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's asses control almost everything.. . and
CURRENT Horses Asses are controlling everything else.

Some of the Luftwaffe's most successful fighter aces flew the Fw 190. Erich Rudorffer claimed 222 kills, Otto Kittel 267 victories, and Walter Nowotny 258 victories. A great many of their kills were claimed while flying the Fw 190.

Your strategies are very close to working. The results you’ve generated so far are almost useful, bordering on successful, and on the brink of being beautiful. My question now is: You won’t stop here, will you? You’ve already garnered a measure of recognition. You’ve gotten a taste of victory over your old bugaboos. Will you be satisfied with these partial breakthroughs, or will you fight and kick and scratch to strip away the almosts and ascend to utter triumph?

Pablo

A man can sleep around, no questions asked; but if a woman makes nineteen or twenty mistakes she's a tramp.

Body of a Woman
Body of a woman, white hills, white thighs,
you look like a world, Iying in surrender.
My rough peasant's body digs in you
and makes the son leap from the depth of the earth.
I was alone like a tunnel. The birds fled from me,
and night swamped me with its crushing invasion.
To survive myself I forged you like a weapon,
like an arrow in my bow, a stone in my sling.
But the hour of vengeance falls, and I love you.
Body of skin, of moss, of eager and firm milk.
Oh the goblets of the breast ! Oh the eyes of absence !
Oh the roses of the pubis! Oh your voice, slow and sad !
Body of my woman, I will persist in your grace.
My thirst, my boundless desire, my shifting road!
Dark river-beds where the eternal thirst flows
and weariness follows, and the infinite ache.
[by Pablo Neruda]

SEEN & unseen

Others live completely in the Unseen World – madmen, mystics and saints whose lives we cannot fathom. Then again, there are those who live mainly with the rest of us, but gain an understanding of how to work with the Unseen. They delve deep to work with it directly, sometimes even attempting to manipulate the Seen World through the practice of arcane arts. These are the occultists, root doctors and reverends. Here your Mother need not be alive for you to visit her, that candle may be a beacon sending a message into the world of spirit, and your favorite dinner dish may have a hint of a strange aftertaste.
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't. -Erica Jong

If you trust your instincts, they will not fail you. Don't bet it all, but small risks taken with confidence pay off. One success will likely lead to another. Fortune unfolds one moment at a time, and with patience builds a stock pile of profit, not just financially but emotionally as well. You can be lucky without having to trust in luck today.
