Very interesting machines, Bill.

( I once flew in a double decker Pan Am Stratocruiser to Europe - before the jets shortened the travel time by hours...)

I thought they were all interesting. I couldn't figure out why anyone would need a Hemi Powered Air-Raid Siren, and I never imagined there would ever be a Ship Shipping Ships Shipping Ships.

I've always been amazing at the building of high rises.

I am a fan of "How It's Made" on cable and I am always amazed by the "engineering" involved in the manufacturing process.

It's used as a warning siren for tornadoes in the mid-West.

I do not watch that program, Matt, but I'm constantly amazed at how much engineering goes into EVERY single piece of all the things we take for granted.
