I'll be a tad busy in June, new house should be completed so I'll be moving out of this apartment (yippie!) and the missus will be 7 months pregnant. Should be freer come autumn, great time to visit the vineyards. Play Texas Hold 'em btw?

Now this statement is more "politically charged" than the main thread itself.

And when you think that (with the exception of the engines) the basic design is 2500 year old (cf "Trispastos" and "Pentaspastos") it makes you feel a little humble, really! It does me, anyway.

In all fairness the laws of physics haven't changed in 2500 years.
Our understanding of them, the materials we have to use and our ability to harness energy have, however, advanced in leaps and bounds.
I must say though most people I find significantly underestimate the abilities of our forebears, we can do big and fast but they could do the same with the brute force of thousands, wood, rope and a clever mind.

So they changed 2501 years ago?

It's actually not floating, it has giant legs and just walks across the ocean floor.

I think we may need a CP Darwin award. On second thoughts, I don't recall the article submission wizard warning users not to enter programming questions in it.
