Perhaps the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life was the episode of black adder goes forth, where they join the air Corps, based on the thought that they’ll only do 20 minutes of work per day. Turns out it’s the average lifespan of a pilot in World War I. Lord flash heart/Rick Mayall was...

My idle speed was at 600 RPM, but when it started this bogging business, I upped the idle speed a bit. I don’t have a tachometer on the car. When I checked the timing before, it was retarded, and I have it in my head that it was at 0° top dead center. Keep in mind, this was last year, and by...
