AN INTERESTING HISTORY LESSON.
Railroad tracks. This is fascinating.
Be sure to read the final paragraph; your understanding of
it will depend on the earlier part of the content.
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails)
is 4 feet,8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used?
Because that's the way they built them in
England, and English expatriates built the US railroads.
Why did the English build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same
people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's
the gauge they used.
Why did 'they' use that gauge then?
Because the people who built the
tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used
for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.
Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel
spacing?
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon
wheels would break on some of the old, long distance
roads in England , because that's the spacing of the
wheel ruts.
So who built those old rutted roads?
Imperial Rome built the first long
distance roads in Europe (and England ) for their
legions. The roads
have been used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads?
Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts,
which everyone else had to match for fear of
destroying their wagonwheels. Since the
chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they
were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.
Therefore the United Statesstandard railroad
gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from
the original specifications for an Imperial
Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever.
So the next time you are handed a
Specification/Procedure/Process and
wonder 'What horse's ass came up with
it?' you may be exactly right. Imperial
Roman army chariots were made just wide
enough to accommodate the rear ends of
two war horses. (Two horses' asses.)
Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its
launch pad, there are two big booster rockets
attached to the sides of the main fuel tank.
These are solid rocket boosters, or SRB's.
The SRB's are made by Thiokol at their factory
in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRB's
would have preferred to make them a bit fatter,
but the SRB's had to be shipped by train from
the factory to the launch site. The railroad
line from the factory happens to run through a
tunnel in the mountains, and the SRB's had to
fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly
wider than the railroad track, and the railroad
track, as you now know, is about as wide as two
horses' behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what
is arguably the world's most advanced transportation
system was determined over two thousand years ago
by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought
being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient
horse's asses control almost everything... and
CURRENT Horses Asses are controlling everything
else.
Subject: The Buzzard. The Bat & The Bumblebee
THE BUZZARD:
If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely
open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute
prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the
ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit,
it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a
small jail with no top.
THE BAT:
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable nimble creature
in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor
or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt,
painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw
itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
THE BUMBLEBEE:
A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies,
unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but
persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom.
It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
PEOPLE:
In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We
struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing
that all we have to do is look up!
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up!
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our
Creator who loves us.
