Mitsubishi Vertical Whirling Sewage Sludge Melting System

Only a Mitsubishi engineer would realize that you get the best results
from vertically whirling shit.

Perhaps MMAL could send some of their 380 product engineers on sabbatical to
Tokyo to learn more about working with shit.

  Mitsubishi build fighter planes like they do 380's

Sorry if it has been mentioned.

http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hbWQ04QAiTj33nFjOwFx9UI9ZRDA

TOKYO (AFP) — A Japanese F-2 fighter jet burst into flames just after
takeoff in central Japan on Wednesday but its two pilots managed to
escape with relatively minor injuries, officials said.

The plane was about to start its first test flight since it was docked
for regular check-ups at the domestic airport in the central city of
Nagoya, its manufacturer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries said.

It nosedived immediately after takeoff at the airport, which is also
used by the Japanese air force, and glided on its tail over the runway
before swerving off into the grass, television footage showed.

  Chinese-made LPG cylinder alert (9KG)

LP Gas Cylinder Alert

ATTENTION: Cylinder refillers

What happened?

Some 9kg LPG cylinders manufactured in China
have been found to have a faulty valve. There have
been a number of reported cases in Australia of the
securing gland nut on these valves not being
correctly tightened and allowing the contents of the
cylinder to escape. In some cases this has resulted
in a serious fire and/or injury.

Key Issues

The pictures show the nut which, having a left-hand
thread, can be undone during the process of
manually turning off the cylinder valve. This may
cause the valve assembly to loosen and separate,
allowing the immediate release of the cylinder
contents under pressure with no real way of stopping
the flow once started.

A tourist walked into a Subiaco curio/antique shop.

After looking around for a while, he noticed a very life-like bronze
statue of a rat.

It had no price tag, but it was so striking that he decided to buy it
anyway.

He took it to the owner and said: "How much is this bronze rat?"

The owner replied: "It's $15 for the rat, and $100 for the story."

The tourist gave the owner his $15 and said: "I'll just take the rat;
you
can keep the story."

As he walked off down the street, he noticed that a few real rats had
crawled out of the sewers and begun following him.

This was a little disconcerting, so he started to walk a little
faster, but
within a couple of blocks the swarm of rats had grown to hundreds, and
they
were all squealing and screeching in a very menacing way.

  Ford Y-Block also had oiling problems

but in reverse to the Cleveland, which suffered from oiling the lifter
gallery (and hence rockers) first, before the crank. The Y-Block, ford's
first OHV V8 had rocker-shaft lubrictation probs, because they were oiled
last.
