Hey! I drive a '94 Miata, and never thought the name sounded 'ghey'. Are you sensitive about this, being from Queensland?

Cmon, Mx5 sounds so much ballzier than Miata dont ya think??? Miata sounds too cutesy for me! Mx5 sounds like its a cousin of my favourite car!
Not that it really matters, they're identical anyways (cept the steering wheels on the other side) and they great cars!
I'm just sick of waiting to get mine!
ps. Queensland it teh best!

Cricket is a very nice and a very popular game in south Asia, Australia, England and many other countries. American baseball is just like cricket except that it is cricket played in American style.
There are plenty of websites where you can find information about cricket. It really is a lot of fun.

found this on the net, people who know and play cricket will find it funny..
CRICKET
(As explained to a foreign visitor)
You have two sides, one out in the field, and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and
when he's out he comes in, and the next man goes in
until he's out.
When they're all out, the side that's out comes in,
and the side that's been in goes out, and tries to
get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men in, and not out.
When both sides have been in and out, including the not
outs,
That's the end of the game.

Yeah this really a good summary of cricket.
But for persons who are new to cricket,this may sound like puzzle.
Just an information: Cricket is considered like a religion in South Asia.Passion for cricket is similar to soccer in South America.
cheers,

I haven't known many programmers that ride motorcycles.
I ride a GSX1300R Hayabusa and am not happy going less that 180 MPH.
Anyone else ride?

I've been lucky I guess because I've been riding for 12 years and never been hurt. <knocking on="" wood="">

Yeah, I love it. It's also very comfortable to ride, unlike many sport bikes I've ridden.

I ride on the back of my husband's motorcycle. Does that count? I won't let him go over 90, but I suspect he does more when I'm not around. He had to change something to get past the rev limiter which I'm sure doesn't max out at 90. Baaad husband! He promised me he would behave when I let him buy it.

Sure, that's good enough for me.

My bike used to max out at 187 MPH before I started "tinkering" with it. I am seriously thinking about getting a turbo kit for it. Now that would be a rush!

What kind of bike does he have? If he has a turbo he's definitely going faster than 90 MPH.

I didn't really know what he did to it. So I had to call him and ask. He was very paranoid because I've never shown any interst. He asked "why are you putting an add in the paper or something?" But he gave up the info anyways. He has a Harley 2000 Dyna Glide. He said something about a chrome kit and an engine chrome kit. He changed the cams, the jets and I think the carborator. He changed the (to a?) thunder header. He added a chrome front end and he changed the blinkers. He said something about screaming eagle heads. He added front foot pegs. He added a removable sissy bar. I insisted. He was not allowed to take my 8 year old on the freeway. But since he refuses to follow my rules I made him get a sissy bar. He changed the seat, but I make him put the origional one back on when we go for long trips. He likes the look of the new one, but the origional is infinitly more comfortable for me. The new one cuts off the blood supply to my butt and everytime we hit a bump it kills. We bought it for $13,750. It's worth $20,000 now. The only thing he's currently trying to get approved (by me) is new handle bars. He wants them higher ones.
Oh and he got past the rev limiter by adding a programable engine module.

Sounds like he has been pretty busy adding stuff.
I understand about that, I don't think I could ever go fast enough to satisfy myself.
My bike does 0 - 120 MPH in less than 6 seconds, but I wish it were faster.
I'm a true speed freak and not going to even mention my 550HP, supercharged '92 Mustang coupe.

I don't know how fast it will go and what the ramp up time is and I don't think I want to know. His car is a Camaro.

I selected running and entered Pool/Billiards. I guess that latter isn't really all that physically taxing
