Bungee Jumper Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Here's The Straight Dope on why there is the 33/45/78 speeds, and a minor mention on the 16. Here's a How Turntables Work article. And this dude is selling an old 4-speed table on Craig's list. 836832[/snapback] Too bad all those turntable speeds are wrong. A turntable has a true speed of 43, after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadCap Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 It's 100% true. And think about it, how many non-drinkrers lose there liver? Most everyone who gets a transplant is a drunk 836685[/snapback] I wanted to stay out of this one, but this troll is sooooo wrong it's actually funny. Trust me, they most certainly do not give transplants to drug addicts and drunks. There is an extensive screening process, complete with psycoanalysis to judge you stable enough to go through the process. I would know, I have a transplant. Sorry to re-hijack the hijacked thread...

They just stuck a spare organ in him when he wasn't looking and sent him home. Can we invite BF back in here? Improve the intelligence of the board?

I don't understand how anyone who is tuned into popular culture doesn't get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
