I tried to tell him that, but I do not know what any of those words mean...

I have always kind of wanted to redo the Mythbusters Golf Ball Dimple experiment. People say installing a secondary fuel tank and weighing it is scientific, but one mile of A-B testing does not convince anyone here.

Except, I do not think it would persuade anyone. People here would ask why I wasted my time and money. Everyone else would say I obviously did it wrong because those guys are obviously smarter than me.
