    Let's say someone handed you $100 Billion Dollars and told you to design the ultimate car.

    NASCAR, F1, etc. are all now severly limited in there technology. But let's say that you were designing a with no limits other than that it had to be drivable on a normal road, and had to be able to survive at least a few races. What would you build (or tell the engineers to build)?

    Anyone else think that diamonds are ugly?

    Yes DeBeer's is evil etc. etc. But does anyone else simply think diamonds are ugly? To me, they look like sparkly glass. And everyone always want perfectly white, inclusion free diamonds that have no charector. Give me corundum or a nice piece of quartz any day.

    What is the largest pet you think people should be allowed to have?

    Post why you think so as well. Edit: Poll is in pounds. Edit 2: I know pitbulls aren't the largest bread of dogs. Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and say most people don't have poisenous snakes or cape buffalo or gorillas as pets.

    Why do people still build wooden fences?

    All the fences in tucson are steel and cinderblock. Why is it that wooden fences are still so popular elsewhere? Cinderblock doesn't rot, it doesn't weather, it doesn't get blown down, and you can stucco it if you think it looks ugly. So why the wooden fences?

    Can superconducting circuits be immersed and still function efficiently?

    Could you, for instance, immerse a circuit board where all the exposed traces were superconductors, in say, water? Would be nice for ROV's. No need to seal them in water tight boxxes, just leave the thing open to the sea. Also nice for computers, no need for water blocks, just water cool the...
