Yep. I believe you got it wrong. Displacement means the mass of water that is moved when the ship is floating in water. It is not the total mass of the ship. Also, displacement is measured in metric tons.

Back to the other end of the scale, here's a good improvisational weapon, to use on unwanted callers, like Baliffs, Police, Jehovah's Witlesses, Landlords etc. All you need, is to have a first floor window that opens above the front door. When you hear them knocking, quietly open the window, and drop a cat on their head. Film it for posterity.

You strike me as being that same guy who came around awhile ago talking about how viciously clever he was to the Panda Express employee.

That "drop a cat on their head" bit might be useful, though.

Those things are a hell of a lot bigger than they look compared to those people standing next to them. That is a fish eye lens I think. That plane is huge.

For what the cost to buy and fly, they ought to be as big as Rhode Island.

Size ratio plane/people look OK for me.

That thing has a length of 146 ft after all.

Just wondering, if there was a fight between an M1 Abrams tank and an A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog), which way should we bet?

I'm inclined to go for the Warthog - I imagine it swooping down and dropping bombs faster than the guns of the tank could track it.

TheMercenary · 12-02-2011, 07:34 AM

A-10 would win that one easily.

Another perspective.

Are you kidding? Google up "tank killer". This is a tank's natural predator. The A-10 is my favorite warplane, by far.
