Yeah, "Jack" in Sinatra's heyday was used much in the same way "dude" is today, as a generic reference to someone....

I don't doubt that what the drivers endure is typical and can be done by any Joe Schmoe from the street, HOWEVER, I don't believe that its a sport. The car does the work. Sure, they control it, but I have a hard time agreeing with the fact that they are more than just skilled. In other words, I bel...

If its recognized around the world as a sport, then it is sport.
This would include crap like rythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming. It would also include "events" like shooting, where the gun would do more 'work' than the shooter.

If racing is not a sport then what is it? I assume that you mean auto racing. The important thing to remember when you argue your point above is that a race is not the difining factor for sport - as I laid out in my original arguement. That's all well and good but you didn't answer my question. If ...

I'm not really a NASCAR or any other type of auto racing fan, but I think you've overlooked the physical conditioning involved in sitting in a 100+ degree car in layers and layers of protective clothing for hours on end, and still having the where-with-all to not screw up and send your car flying in...

If it was only two weeks ago, you might be able to go back in your History and find it again. Just hit Ctrl-H (I'm assuming you're using internet explorer) and see if your history goes back that far.

Unless you actually saved the file to your hard drive, you've probably lost it. If you find an image on the internet and simply right click->Set as Background, your computer saves it to your Temp directory, which is kinda like a revolving door. Once the file is not in use anymore, if other files com...

I'll take what's behind Door #3 :D

I used to be a semi-Pats fan, as my Mom's from Mass, but they're one of those teams you love to hate, and the Colts, well... they weren't good enough for John Elway, they're not good enough for me...
