It's like an episode of Mythbusters!
Adam: "Is it really true that if a windmill spins too fast, it disintegrates?"
Jamie: "Apparently, yes. Now we need to make a dummy out of A) a pig carcass or B) ballistic gel, and see what happens when he's standing under a disintegrating windmill."

Okay, that was really cool. I'd also say your "Mythbusters" dialogue was eerily realistic as well.
I live in Portland, Oregon. My grandmother lives in Pendleton, 200 miles to the east. To get there, my honey and I drive through the Columbia River Gorge, a beautiful stretch of land that also is home to a huge, sweeping windfarm. As we drive past the massive, towering structures I always and without fail imagine one of the blades flying off and hurtling towards our flimsy little Corolla. There would be a long surreal silence as it spun through the air on a collision course, and the there would be breaking glass, tearing metal, and dead nerds.
But yeah... I know that's a bit odd, but being so close to one of those gigantic beasts is pretty intimidating, and I can't help imagining potential disasters.
I have always assumed something like this could happen, but it's still really awesome and scary to see.
Okay, I admit, it kinda crost my mind after watching this vid. But, I didn't expect it to happen. My sons Dutch grrrl broke up with him. Between that and the Greek fisherman Rogue, I gotta ask: Are you guys witches? Wizards? What other events in my life can you symbolically devine? Gypsies maybe: look into my crystal ball.
I think every comment from this dude is an order of magnitude loonier.
wouldja like me better if i had a shoe fetish or online tourettes? how bout coincidence after coincidence year after year that illuminates the obvious which can never be acted upon: am i supposed to believe it is an act of god? should i comment upon derricks and emers and insinuations of blondie and oly? loonier and loonier indeed...but accurate as all fuck. oops online tourettes strikes agin. i be stupid infidel who don't buy 12 step to happy hunting ground. where be real science and real inquiry? does the cult of an overly grandiose stockbroker and proctologist trump all?
