Also Sprach Mark Browne :

Your clever wit broke down his defenses; Jax just shared with you the
sum
total of what he knows about physics, ropes and how that relates to
towing.

Towing? He doesn't think there are locks on the Shinnecock canal. He
thinks Manhattan is an island in the Atlantic Ocean. He thinks a 1957
Johnson 35 hp, 1954 Johnson 25 hp, and 1961 Johnson 40 hp do not use the
same magneto coil. He thinks the Algae-X corporation does not have a
published street address, city, state, phone number, or owner. He thinks
he looks sexy in a Speedo. What could he possibly know about towing?

Sincerely,

It's not some much "learning something" from his posts, as you have no doubt
learned that physics in JaxWorld is not consistent with the know universe;
nothing he says has any relevance to this planet

The real value is the considerable entertainment value; I don't know how he
does it; maybe he read one too many "Bizarro" Superman comics. I don't even
have the mental flexibility to come up with this stuff from scratch. This is
just good stuff!

You missed his contributions of the topics on gyro compasses, dead
reckoning, hull speed, and of late, anchor rodes.

I may have missed a few of his rants; Google for them, it's worth the
effort.

Sadly, this entertainment may be coming to an end. Perhaps it is starting
to filter in to him that not everybody is playing with the same cards dealt
to him. Of late, no mater how you bait him, Jax keeps his colorful
explanations to himself. The heart troubles may have weakened him; instead
of the odd "profound statements," He is reduced to feeble personal attacks.

P.S. The only saving grace in JaxWorld is that there does not seem to be any
politics. Thank God for small miracles.
