Falstar Member Registered: 07/20/02 Posts: 1415 Loc: Edina, MN 55439	http://uk.news.yahoo.com/mystery-explosion-heard-across-midlands-182338273.html Though I guess I can't laugh too hard. It's probably been almost 30 years since I heard one last. Used to be awakened every Saturday morning by the Air National Guard, but not any more. My kids have never heard one.

I remember those days well, my mother was so pissed when some her dishes were broken by the sonic booms. She called everyone she could to get them to stop. Actually, I think its been closer to 40 years since they stopped. _________________________ Dell XPS 730x: Windows 7 Pro 64bit:Intel core i7 2.6ghz 8mb cache: 12gb Ballistix RAM DDR3: GPU Zotac GTX 580 AMP2 3GB: X-Fi Extreme Music Digital 7.1: 1Kw PSU: 42" Insignia LED 1080p: LG Blu-ray burner, Sony DVD/R: hd1/750GB,hd2/2TB,hd3/1TB,hd4/1TB My Youtube videos My Flickr Photos High Def Vimeo videos
