I used to have "My Name Is Earl" at the top of my favorite TV shows list...BUT, no more.
I'm into helicopters. I have a couple RC ones...and I've even taken a few lessons in a Robinson R22 at the local airport.1863, Call them "Helicopteres"
One vertical-flight enthusiast, Gustave Vicomte de Ponton d’Amécourt, designed a model flying machine using coaxial propellers and a coiled spring for propulsion. While that model could fly, another version using a steam engine had failed. Ponton d'Amecourt called his machines "helicopteres," a word derived from the Greek adjective for "spiral" and the noun "pteron," meaning "wing." Ponton d'Amecourt and his group of enthusiasts inspired Jules Verne to add helicopters to his stories.
One of my kids asked me if Ron Paul was running for President? I said, "I don't know...never heard of the guy." Then I found his web site and many YouTube videos about him -- I like the guy now. I'm a very un-political and anti-sports kindof guy...but, on first glance, Ron Paul speaks to me.
