The closest I ever got was when I had my Ranger. I swear that needle was below 'E' for at least 25 miles. Who knows how long the idiot light was on. Never did run out though. That little truck was like a freaking camel.

I still had a gallon or 2 in the front tank. I just wanted to drain the rear tank. I'm running some fuel injector cleaner this tank too to clear out any of those sediments that were in the back tank when it ran dry

learned that if a Fanuc Alpha 22 servo bolts arent tightened down and it comes loose from the machine it can cause all kind of weird servo alarms...frickin 80 pound motor ready to fall off the machine that had been sitting nearly a year, but 'has to run tomorrow'...hate getting stuck with stuff like this that simply aint supposed to happen...weirdest thing was it ran fine except at one particular reversal point, and only alarmed out if backlash comp was adjusted. man do I miss the older analog servos...

I learned that if it weren't for that whole 'being in shape and knowing how to swim' thing, I could totally pass for Michael Phelps.

doesn't really matter much to me I like my Nintendo 64 more for a lot of those game, ie Hydro Thunder /pacman /Galaga simplicity as my 13 year old makes me look seriously retarded being too slow when it comes to playing Modern warfare2, Like today was on the phone with Internet supportor we had to run PS3 and my pc at same time (lag issues) where I live we are limited only upto 1.5 Mbps but in town up to 3 Mbps ? as we were testing on line the tech could here Nathan talking asked how old he was ythen said dang He knew everything I was telling you to do and some he could come work for us , but no because of his age . made me proud & sad at the same time.

I saw a "fun fact" that stated that in every Seinfeld episode there is a Superman somewhere.

Gary, Aaron... Is this true?

Nope. Granted, Superman is definitely a frequent topic of discussion on the show, and Jerry has various Superman memorabilia in his apartment, but there certainly isn't a Superman in every episode. The Chinese Restaurant, for example, doesn't make mention of or feature anything related to Superman. That's one episode off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are others. Particularly among the earlier seasons.

I guess it's a bunch of not so accurate facts. I did check ou that episode. Batman was mentioned.
