    That’s it in a nut shell. Takes two to tango.

    Couldn’t have said it any better. Shall we begin ?

    How the heck does the tracked motorcycle turn? Don’t you need two tracks to be able to turn?

    @Flight Suit

    The original article on the motorcycle is here:

    http://tinyurl.com/bvvnutx

    It’s uninformative, saying only that “Steering is accomplished by handlebars which control a sideways motion of the drive belt.” At a guess this means the tracks were warped into a C-shaped curve. The turning radius must have been huge. As for riding that thing across “shell torn land,” it’s definitely one of the nuttier military ideas put forth.

    I often find myself doing this (to myself not an orangutan) in a recurring dream.

    Does anybody else have similar dreams or am I just weird?

    @Number Six

    First, I think that’s a rhesus monkey, a very contented rhesus monkey infant. Definitely not an orangutan.

    Second, you’re not alone. I’ve had this contortionistic dream occasionally. So, you’re not weird. Or we’re both weird.

    Strangely, confessing this does not make me feel all that grand.

    Wow Bill, you’re right. That thing must have had horrible maneuverability.

    I’m sorry I missed yesterday’s confession session. I coulda confessed to some good stuff.

    I confess that I both watched and enjoyed Strangers With Candy. Hah! Monkeys!

    re BAD MONKEY

    The first is a white faced gibbon, also not a monkey.

    As many of you may know, calling this Librarian a monkey is severely contraindicated.

    @Gaijinrabbit

    Confession is good for the soul!
