Wait, they actually sell double yolk eggs separate from normal eggs?
100% agreed with both of the above.
100% agreed with that as well.
I feel like this should be a slogan for the next edition of Bop-It.
Mine was as well. Moved us all over the US, including once to the Marshall Islands. Being down here in GA is the longest I've stayed in any one place, ever. Kinda weirds me out that I've been around some people for almost 5 years.the crew that poop poop poops crews crew

The Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" was an advanced, long-range, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft.[1] It was developed as a black project from the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft in the 1960s by the Lockheed Skunk Works. Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was responsible for many of the design's innovative concepts. During reconnaissance missions the SR-71 operated at high speeds and altitudes to allow it to outrace threats. If a surface-to-air missile launch was detected, the standard evasive action was simply to accelerate and outrun the missile.[2]
Since 1976, it has held the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft, a record previously held by the YF-12
The SR-71 was the world's fastest and highest-flying operational manned aircraft throughout its career. On 28 July 1976, SR-71 serial number 61-7962 broke the world record for its class: an "absolute altitude record" of 85,069 feet (25,929 m).[8][70][71][72] Several aircraft exceeded this altitude in zoom climbs but not in sustained flight.[8] That same day SR-71, serial number 61-7958 set an absolute speed record of 1,905.81 knots (2,193.2 mph; 3,529.6 km/h).[8][72]
The SR-71 also holds the "Speed Over a Recognized Course" record for flying from New York to London distance 3,508 miles (5,646 km), 1,435.587 miles per hour (2,310.353 km/h), and an elapsed time of 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds, set on 1 September 1974 while flown by U.S. Air Force Pilot Maj. James V. Sullivan and Maj. Noel F. Widdifield, reconnaissance systems officer (RSO).[73] This equates to an average velocity of about Mach 2.68, including deceleration for in-flight refueling. Peak speeds during this flight were probably closer to the declassified top speed of Mach 3.2+. For comparison, the best commercial Concorde flight time was 2 hours 52 minutes, and the Boeing 747 averages 6 hours 15 minutes.
On 26 April 1971, 61-7968 flown by Majors Thomas B. Estes and Dewain C. Vick flew over 15,000 miles (24,000 km) in 10 hrs. 30 min. This flight was awarded the 1971 Mackay Trophy for the "most meritorious flight of the year" and the 1972 Harmon Trophy for "most outstanding international achievement in the art/science of aeronautics".[74]
When the SR-71 was retired in 1990, one Blackbird was flown from its birthplace at United States Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, to go on exhibit at what is now the Smithsonian Institution's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. On 6 March 1990, Lt. Col. Raymond "Ed" E. Yielding and Lt. Col. Joseph "Jt" T. Vida piloted SR-71 S/N 61-7972 on its final Senior Crown flight and set four new speed records in the process.
I think A-10s are cool as hell.
But the SR-71 given it's time of deployment..Mach 3/Stealth in the early 60s? The plane the Soviets built to catch it STILL couldn't catch it. Badassed.

I've always been interested in technology. When you are young your "favorite" is usually the fastest whatever.
As I've gotten older and learned more (I guess), the whole "Top Gun" concept of using your planes strengths against the opponents weaknesses seems so common sense; but fighter pilots weren't taught for years and years. Some guys just knew it and others learned the hard way.
I read how Spitfire pilots had trouble with Zeros, as the Spitfire is a "angles" fighter against a 109, but an "energy" fighter against a Zero, so they fought them wrong (initially at least-they owned them later).
