The sky is blue, clouds are black and white.
The silk trade in Constantinople starting with the reign of Justinian I.
When honestly trying to kill each other men-at-arms in single combat wouldn't bash each other with swords.
The correct spelling is "pollaxe".
Pollaxes don't all have axe blades.
The four fundamentals of marksmanship are: steady position, good sight picture, breath control and trigger squeeze.

The sky is actually transparent. What you are seeing is light reflecting off the upper atmosphere. The blue part is caused by the doppler shift of the reflecting light leaving. Because it goes really fast.

There was no silk trade until Marco Polo, because China didn't exist until then. You should really read up on historical clothing a bit, Suu.

1. Men at arms did not engage in single combat, and if they did it was with a sharp stick.
2. "Pole Axe". Unless you're attacking people while they vote.
3. You aren't accounting for the wind.

There is more iron in high carbon steel than there is in cast iron.
The works of Shakespeare were not written by an individual named Shakespeare. Consider, the commoner known as Shaksper was not born in such a rung of society where he would be given an adequate education to be literate, much less brilliantly so. Instead, it was anonymous writing using the player Shaksper as a medium to present the work to the public. Sir Francis Bacon is the most likely candidate when considering the potential true creators.
When compressing a vocal during mixdown, you want to have it kick in after the initial transient, in order to keep the clarity of enunciation intact.

No, when I do it, I make it kick in before, or you get this tiny hiss that ruins everything.

Noether's theorem states that for each symmetry in a system, there exists a conserved quantity. Thus; the symmetry of space accounts for conservation of momentum, symmetry of time accounts for conservation of energy, etc.

Playing full chords through a fully overdriven guitar amp makes the chords sound muddy and somewhat indistinct. Chances are that you don't need that much distortion and can afford to lay quite a bit off of the gain, but if you insist on having the gain all the way up, then your best choice for good sounding chords is to stick with the root, the fifth, and perhaps the octave, or instead use the root and a variety of intervals to suggest a full or extended chord.

I have never had this problem, and I am considered quite the expert on guitar amps.

They intended to make the lyric "Wu - Tang isnot any organization to irresponsibly fornicate with."
Anyone who know the intellectual background of the RZA and Inspectah Deck's prose works would understand that. [/requia]
I think the original lyric, scrawled in pencil on the back of a Pizza carton read, . . . . ."The collective and it's representative persons, known as the Clan of Wu Tang, hereby categorically advise any potential purveyors of their Art, that they are not in any way conducive to unsolicited sexually penetrative overtures of any nature, from any third parties, and will not be held responsible for any damages incurred in the event of any perceived sexualistic invasionment of their shit."
