Agreed. But I think he's still probably going to end up with a heavier mustang for what is probably going to run about as much as a lambo and be make-confused. To each his own though.

Not quite. Methanogens. E. coli (the main component of gut flora) doesn't create any methane. Methanogens are acutally a group of archaea (kinda related to bacteria but not really) and they're the only known living organism that can respire to CO2 to create methane, which is actually a pretty PITA process for them, but it allows them to live in some pretty inclimate places, like garbage heaps. Not everyone has methanogens in their gut, which is why not everyone can light their farts. But please, don't light your own brand on fire to test to see if you're lucky. You'll light other things on fire.

60kph through sodium (Full Disclosure: had to grab the physics book next to the desk for that one) You wouldn't live, you'd be a giant cancerous tumor. Because you spend too much time with math.

What's the only currently known living organism that can produce Methane? ...and no, Paul does not cout.

WOO HOO! This website is now more mature than I am. No, that happened 5 years ago. Oops. Happy Birthday HBZ!

It probably has the most awesome 80's sounds and computer graphics in history so yes, buy that!

Yep. A fridge isn't 100 percent efficient so it will expel more heat than it can cool. Thus when you open the fridge you heat your room.

From a bit of superturbo searching, you want to find the Euro pumps, I believe they're called the M-pumps as they are easier to upgrade from the stock 5.5mm opening/barrel.

Yep. Just had to derive how much energy can be produced from redox reactions of various electron donors and acceptors in a electron transport chain by deriving half reactions based on electron travel. PM Me and I'll get you straightened out.

My major is Microbiology, I work in a virology lab, and I'm a chem minor. I'm going to go to med-school one day god willing. Lemmie know if you need help with your homework. I'll let you in on the secret that most Chemistry in High School is fudged a bit by the books because they don't want to teach you everything you need to know, just have you memorize everything.

Tell your teacher that the H and N numbers in flu are the Hemagglutin and Nuramindase variants (16 H variants and 9 N variants iirc) and they have different Red blood cell clumping (the H protien) and viral fusion sights (the N and H proteins form a fusion peptide that binds to different receptors on epithelial cells and attract different antibodies, which is why you have to get a shot every year). And the most deadly flu isn't H1N1 spanish flu of 1918, it's the H5N1 avian flu. H1N1 had a death rate of something like 4 percent in 1918. In today's medicine, H5N1 has a death rate of over 50%. He'll either love you or be jealous you know more about flu and vaccines than he/she does

That's depressing. Did you implement a BFH to aid in the explosive un-seating process?

Technically the first vaccine wasn't a vaccine, it was called virulation. It basically consisted of taking a bit of pus from a small-pox infected person and putting it in an open wound. It would give you a lesser form of the disease that would hopefully still allow you to survive (survival rate was 98-99%). Until the ability to culture cells (which came later) was practiced, they practiced a technique called attenuation which involved taking a live disease and passaging it through animals (in the case of rabies, the strain was taken from cow's brain and passaged through rabbits) until the strain became attenuated, or non infected. They then took this attenuated, or avirulent strain, and used it as the vaccination so the immune system could build a defense for it.

Perhaps you get some tanning oil with the deal?

More medical fun facts: Farms are the reason for the majority of antibiotic resistance, and roudabouts 2% of the global population is immune to HIV (well, technically much more resistant)

They had to be cancer cells because by virtue of how cancer cells work, they can be cultured virtually indefinitely outside of the human body in tissue culture. Primary cell lines (I.e. just tissue pulled directly from a person and grown in culture) only last 10-20 passages and cannot be frozen down and saved. Oncogenic cells can last 5-6x that and can be cryo-stored. To answer the question, the woman's name is Henrietta Lacks, and is the proprietor of the current HeLa line of cells used in labs. Though they're used for vaccine development, once the vaccine is made, it has to be produced in primary cell lines (Fun Fact: Flu Vaccine is made in chicken eggs) so that you don't get the oncogenic genes of the cervical cancer cells. That would be bad.

Anyone know who the cancer cells were stolen from so that a polio vaccine could be developed along with many other drugs?

I honestly have no Idea. I know that the euro pumps are different than our pumps and are more easy to modify, but past that I haven't really looked into this whole pump jazz. I do know that if you start up a pump company in the states there is some money to be had.

That's what is in the 240D. Unless you get an 85+ 240D, then it's an OM602. Both are great engines. I will be the first one to congratulate you if you can kill one. Just get a Myna modified pump (what that youtube video had most likely) and your choice of holset and it should scare you senseless.

The OM606 (which is the engine he has) is still a little bit on the pricey side, IMO since it was only mid-late 90's up. The OM603 is the SOHC motor that is substantially cheaper and can be had in practically any W123/4/6 Before 1997ish iirc. You can get those in 3.0 and 3.5L variants, but the earliest motors with #14 heads tended to crack (most have been replaced by now but you should always check) and the non-factory replacement 3.5L have been known to have longevity issues. Both of which should be a non issue by now but figured you should know. Both can be had in turbo variants. For performance issues as well as choosing the right transmission, check out any of the superturbo diesel forums on the web of the diesel section of Peachparts.com.

Boo double post

Remember, he has a Fair Lady (apparently different and obviously LHD) compared to the Fairlady... And Fully computerized?

I'm not talking about moving it forward, I want to move it back!. By making a cradle similar to how the SBF guys do or JohnC made for his JZ mounts and slide the motor all the way back, it should fit with a simple notching of the front x-member. It'll be tight, but MBZ designed both the M104 (and the OM60x variants) to be as short as possible. The thing had to fit in spaces that barely held smaller V8's length wise, or as an upgrade from the M102 so it needed to be thin.

I think the thing *should* clear. It's mid mounted (the engine mounts are in the center of the motor) and you have to create a second crossmember anyways, but a little notching in the front cross member and I think it'll wedge in there.
