It would also depend on whether the bomb is hooked up to the speedometer. Maybe they're using a GPS? Even if they were using a speedometer, is it connected to the drive wheels?<br /><br />The real solution to the bus problem is simply to not go 50 miles an hour in the first place.

I like the zeno progress bar, and I think I will use it.Arshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01917719465671866924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451086006168569993.post-63891320169411654952009-06-11T21:48:22.424-04:002009-06-11T21:48:22.424-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Arshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01917719465671866924noreply@blogger.com
