Fork ya, US is cheap, thorough investigation and quality rules!!!
I was in Florida coupla weeks ago, stayed at Holiday Inn and, obviously, was
smart as hell!
Kids ate for free and had the choice between pancakes and burgers (also for
breakfast), and adults ate for only 29.95 (pasta courses only of course)
including all the water we could drink! Even the ice was free!!!
We even obtained a discount on our Disney tickets, we only had to buy seven
time share apartments to save the 15 dollars!!!
I am sorry the news about the gas-saving-carbon-eating-gizmo-thing did not
reach me before I went to Florida, otherwise I would have considered
cuddeling Mickey Mouses privates, provided that he would have given me a 99c
discount on the gizmo, of course.

Now fellas, letīs get real. The thing is, I got a really good deal on the
Eiffel Tower. The tower, as you know, is painted black. Black is, as you
also know, the same color as carbon fiber and therefore, according to my
calculations (my grandma was a school teacher) a good conductor, which makes
your investment perfectly safe!My grandmother obviously pursesses every skill and talent needed for these calculations and, of course, has taken into account that nature is completely natrural, has a stable mind and only occasionally has a bad timing.

Now, jokes aside and let us get really real!!! Lancair fellas are nice
people. They are good at designing aircraft too. I am not sure, though, that
they are not the worlds best meteorologists and, therefore, might be better
off leaving the weathery stuff to people who know about lightning.
The people who know about lightning certainly do not pretend to know the
least about designing aircraft anyway.

I am very serious too, and, thus, have made my own calculations on the
chance of surviving an attack of a 21.6 foot crocodile in a Lancair 360
(these data are not applicaple for the 320 model!) and would like a comment
on anyones experience with this problem.

NOW, LET US GET REALLY REALLY REAL!!!
1.) Lightning is an unpredictable size (even according to Lancair)!
2.) Flying is dangerous (even compared to eating a mushroom pizza!)
3.) Most accidents in IMC occur from spacial disorientation
4.) If anyone considers buying a share of the Eiffel Tower, buy it from me
(TODAY!) to obtain the discount. I guarantee that you will not be struck by
lightning whilst writing the check!!!

Sincerely
Tim Joergensen, Denmark

P.S. Should I let the yellow and grey stone in my left pocket decide whether
to buy a LNC235 or a LNC320/360 or would I be better off waiting for
lightning to strike?
