Cool article/blog. Thanks for the link! Title: Re: some axions hold true... Post by: Buckethead on December 22, 2011, 10:44:14 AM The word you're looking for is axiom.
(http://www.necro-equine-sadism.com/beating-a-dead-horse.jpg) Also, good find on the article. [beer] Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there's a world of difference." Title: Re: some axions hold true... Post by: DucDodgers on December 23, 2011, 10:19:04 AM This article resonates with me personally. I worked as a general contractor and can't tell you the amount of times that I've looked at plans for stuff that defied the laws of physics. I've dealt with brilliant architects and engineers but have found myself in this situation [bang]. This was a great read
