Actually ZB has a point. Not about the miserable home life, I mean Dethy could be having wild sex parties for all we know, whereas ZB is like a character from Dilbert.
But there's no reason a newcomer (or long-absent returner) should know what the airplane pic means, so it's kinda unfair to treat it as a failure on their part.

Except whoever I used it on the very first time didn't get it then either.
Now that I think of it, it may have been ZylonBane.
(also, yes on the parties, no you're not invited :cool:)

I see a lot of smoke coming out of that PC, I wonder why.

all I see is an aircraft with over 1,000 hp
A bit of an understatement. : )
Back in the Second World War, some of the single-engine propeller-driven aircraft had over 2000 horsepower. The Lockheed P-38 twin-prop fighter had about 4000 in total by the end of the war. Jets are measured in (thousands of) pounds of thrust, so I have no idea what equivalent horsepower that F-4 has, but I'm guessing it would be at least 40,000 horsepower.
You have my gracious permission to immediately forget that useless little bit of information and speculation. Welcome back to Through the Looking Glass, by the way. "We're all mad here."
