And:
The prohibition against women in church leadership positions seems to come
as a judicial result from Eve's complicity in the first sin in Eden. Explaining why
men should be church leaders, the inspired apostle wrote, "For it was Adam
who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was
deceived, but the woman being quit deceived, fell into transgression" (I
Timothy 2:13-14).

I'd say that the jet engine was superfluous. The real power of using a jet engine is the hot exhaust stream. With the kinds of acoustic pressures that he was generating, I'm thinking that a vortex cooler powered by the combustion pressure waves would be a lot more effective than simply using the heat of evaporation of the fuel. That is only the first stage of the cooler. This was NOT a REAL science guy.

Now I'm off to the garage to improve this amateurish first attempt. Back away, kids, and let the real science guys take a swing. If the neighbors complain, its after 10 am.

That's the spirit of science, alright. Especially the propane-burning cleaners.
There is often something quite strange about engineers, mind you. Especially those with industrial-scale welding equipment... in the front room... and the reason for it being there is (and I quote) "Because there wasn't room in the kitchen any more... the lathe takes up too much space".
