Hey, I already told that one, Formula None! I demand copyright. I fail to understand why it is so hard to read a post of 1.500 words.

Besides, Richard, as the article says, the name of the engine factory of Pollock is Pure.

They don't stand a chance of selling it to Red Bull.

Imagine the name in the championship standings: Pure Bull.

Wrong name.

I counted 30, so 1.5/minute, which is OK but the caption thread generally has even higher RPMs (rotten puns per minute), so don't feel too bad.

So, you can count but you can't read... ;)

Don't feel bad: it's a start.

You have 666 posts, FN. Shudder.

Quick! Write another post! Before it's too late!

I don't see it there in your post. I call slander. What is the penalty for slander on this forum?

One out of three ain't bad.

What do Bernie and Satan have in common? Both misunderstood. Wait, that's not it is it?

It wouldn't work! :lol:

If Carlsberg made an F1 engine, would it be the best F1 engine ever?

That was my extension number at my last work. Stayed there 5 years and I was still getting the obvious joke not long before I left. :roll:

Is Vettel the Antichrist?

Is it possible The Book had a typo way back when (no spell check you know), and 666 is actually the sign of the best?

I must concur. Which brings you down to 1.45 RPM, Ciro. The goal is to get your RPM as low as possible without stalling.

They make you moderator. It's a cruel and unusual punishment, I'd say. Thank heaven I already did my time, so I've learned not to slander (or to be a Ferrari fan. mx_tifosi will never leave the jail, if you ask me).

The "joke" I thought resembled yours was this one:
Ciro Pabón wrote:... In South America we don't have engines. At all. That's why South Americans are so successful in Formula One: if you can do over 300 kph without an engine then it's easy when you have one.
That's why down here we call it For Mule One (omg, I'm stalling! Terrain, terrain... pull up, pull up).

Thanks, bot6, you're very kind. I hope you have a nice day, you've already made mine better.

So is this what you watch every other Sunday?

Here we see Fernando Alonso engaged in a For Mule One race. Note the donkeys ears. These have to pass a load test to ensure that they do not flex backwards too much.

No, it would be deeply unsatisfying and then cause you to leak fluids everywhere.

I believe that is Alonso. Also, looks to be a test mule. Note the "flow viz" coming out the exhaust. Is it just me or are the legs asymmetric? :wtf: They say these can gallop on the ceiling at full trot.

I humbly apologize. I shall flagellate myself as St. Max prescribes. How many Hail Sennas should I do to get out of moderating?

Why Barrichello's son is named Fernando?


From somewhere: An F1 driver loses around 4kg in a full race. Do teams account for this?

Is it true that in monaco the suction of cars can lift a manhole cover?
Come back 747, we miss you!!

If an F1 engine were powered by Dos Equis, would it be the most interesting engine in the world?
