Nice find! It's a pneumatic accumulator for aircraft systems.

Why do seagulls fly over the sea?

If they flew over the bay, they’d be bagels!

PS just got carried away when he heard the words "pneumatic" and "accumulator" and couldn't think of anything better to type than "buy it!!!" lol.

We don't know what the biggest port is - and if it is big enough to use as is.

We also don't know what material it is made out of... which could make installing (welding) a new port rather hard. Not to mention - it was rated at 3000psi AS-IS - if you weld anything to it that rating falls away until you hydro it again.

No need to freak out about it, but I got some nice stuff for my birthday this year. Lets just say that I may actually make a new cannon that looks good!

Probing questions....



Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 1 billion stars in the universe, you will believe it, but if someone tells you a wall has wet paint, you will have to touch it to be sure?
If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it FedUPs?

Are Lipton Tea employees allowed to take coffee breaks?

What hair color do they put on the drivers licenses of bald men?

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they delivered the mail?

How much deeper would oceans be if sponges didn't live there?

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

No one ever says 'It's only a game,' when their team is winning.

Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Twofer

A guy walks into a pub & asks the bartender:Whats that big jar of money on the bar for?
That`s the prize for completing the pub challenge he replies, but I can only tell you what the challenge is if you throw your $5 in the jar, so he does.
Three parts to the challenge the bartender explains:
1/ You must neck this bottle of Jack Daniels without taking a breath.
2/ Out the back is the pubs Pitt Bull & he has a rotten tooth which he`s really pissed off about....You must pull that tooth out.
3/ Old Mrs Jones upstairs is 85 years old & hasn`t seen a man in over 30yrs...You must go and "Service" her.
You`re on he says. He takes the bottle of Jack & downs it in one hit, then procedes out the back.
The bartender & other patrons then listen to 10mins of banging,crashing,snarling & screaming coming from outside.
Eventually he staggers back inside still drunk,clothes torn & covered in blood.
He looks at the bartender and says " Now...where`s that old woman with the rotten tooth?"

I would correct them and say that there are probably closer to 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone (and ours isn't even close to the biggest) :D
jrrdw wrote:What hair color do they put on the drivers licenses of bald men?
We don't have hair colour on our drivers license and I think our passports only have eye colour.

I always thought it was because the Post Office is a federal, and not state, run building in every (American) city and people frequent them more often than other federal buildings. Perhaps this is wrong but for some reason I had it in my head.
jrrdw wrote:How much deeper would oceans be if sponges didn't live there?
I assume it would get shallower (though not noticeably) because sponges take up a small amount of volume, removing them would allow sea water to fill in this void left by the sponge. That, and sponges wouldn't remove water from oceans by absorbing the water whilst living in the sea.

Stephen Fry recently said that he thinks Americans are the worse drivers, and judging from my time in Boston I would agree. He followed this with saying New Zealand comes second :D

Maybe it doesn't seem like your country is bad at driving if you're used to that style of driving. I thought places like Italy and Spain had the worst drivers but maybe it's just a European style of driving :roll:

Yeah I know of Dunedin (embarrassingly, one of our 'biggest' cities), never been there... I hope your friend likes the cold, university students and drinking :D

Tell him to come up to Auckland where all the fun is :wink:

Where is your friend from anyway?
