AND it is Friday here at my place now!!

@Checklist tomorrow at 11:30PM, your time, turn on NBCSports and watch the guys qualify for the F1 race in Spa, Belgium. Spa is ALSO where the Battle of the Bulge was fought in WWII, although the announcers rarely make mention of it. The track was cut out of the forest a while back but is one of the fastest F1 circuits. It's like 80% full throttle and 20% trying to get thru the corner to get to full throttle. The guys use teeny tiny v-8's and can hit 200mph on the straights. Throw in that the race is in the mountains and it is fun, fast and exciting. The race itself will be held Sunday morning 7AM, your time, with the pre-race starting 1/2 hour earlier. The steering wheels in the cars can easily top 50K EACH!!! Think of Nascar as millionaires having fun with their money, whereas F1 is billionaires having fun with their money!! F1 is Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Lotus, Williams Teams doing what they have always done best, building fast cars and then racing them!! Lately the drinks company Red Bull has come in, bought a team and has been kicking every others teams rear ends, and EVERY other team wants to beat Red Bull now. The drivers are making bushel baskets full of money just to race, then they are getting in the million dollar per race BONUS range for a win, paid by their own team! Think of the NFL incentive system on steroids!! There are two cars per team and eleven teams this year. It costs 13 million JUST TO GET THE CHANCE TO RACE for the season. Then each team must build their own cars on top of that, even though the cars look similar they are each individually built using teeny tiny parts to last x number of races. LOTS of parts only last one race, engines must last several races and transmissions must last five races. If yours doesn't last you get a penalty at the next race and penalties mean further down 'in the pack' and less chance to win!! They use carbon fiber and teeny tiny parts because 1 ounce of weight can mean you are 1/2 second slower then your opponent!!

These are the matchbox sports cars you played with as a little kid and zoomed across the floor, now you will get a chance to see them for real doing what they are really made to do, go really fast!! They corner like they are on rails and can accelerate faster then a jet airplane!!! They can go from 0 to 100mph AND BACK in LESS then 6 seconds!! And Spa is one of the FASTEST tracks in the whole 19 race season!! The cars create so much 'downforce' they can actually drive on the ceiling once they hit about 75mph. Creating 'downforce' is what they do best, they suck themselves down onto the track and just FLY!!!

I am WINNING!!!

@Mikey

That reminds me, when in hospital, of the nurse that shook a patient awake to take their sleeping pills

Yeah that always seemed strange to me, but when I asked a nurse about it they said that way the nurse doesn't have to come back later on if you wake up on your own. IOW it's easier for them.
