From: Steve Bridge <sbridge21@hotmail.com> To: Mark Shields Date: May 13, 2005 6:07 PM Subject: BATMOBILE Hello my name is Steve and I would like to explain something to you called POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO. I was reading through your journal and saw that you don't know what it means. I will even quote you [quote snipped] The person you are talking to was not talking about the phsyical size of the motor. He was talking about the horsepower. Say the BATMOBILE weighed 6,000lbs. It will take more horespower to move that 6,000lbs around than say a 3,000lbs BATMOBILE. It works the same for anything. Say you had a motorcycle and you were going to race a Chevy Suburban with it. The motorcycle only weighs 600lbs compared to the the Chevy that weights 6,500lbs. Even though the bike has a smaller motor, smaller meaning horsepower and size of engine, it will go faster because it dosen't have to move so much weight. He wanted to know the weight and horsepower so he coud make one that was faster than yours. It is really simple phsyics. I work for Ford Motor Company in Temecula, Ca. I do alot of front end work on cars and specialize in automotive electronics. I have built alot of hotrods in my life and know what I am talking abot. I would love to talk to you more about this. Or if you have any qusetions please email me back at --- Sbridge21@hotmail.com Steve Bridge

I thought I was going to help your dumbass but, it looks like you don't know even enough to type an actual e-mail with a full sentance in it. Holly s***!!!! I just realized you are a worthless f***. Sorry, I tried to help a retard like you!
Hey, look at that! Another one for the list. Tsk. That site I mentioned is still waiting for you, Steve-o. (I hope he’s ready to become famous for acting like a five year old).
- sentance
UPDATE: PART DEUX: Steve wrote me back (surprise!) and claimed that ”SIGHT” didn’t belong on the list because it was spelled correctly. Wow. He sure does know wrong from WRITE! Nyuk nyuk. Surprisingly, Steve also acknowledged that he is in fact only five years old. I figured.
