View Quote [when setting off Ratigan's dastardly death trap] The angle of the trajectory multiplied by the square root of an isosceles triangle...[mumbling]...dividing Guttermeg's principle of opposing forces in motion [more mumbling] and adjusting for the difference in equilibrium...

View Quote Smile, everyone!
