Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I read something (I have no idea where though) that I wished I had thought of with my kids the other day.

A couple was about to find out as well and decided to have the dr write it on a card and seal it in an envelope. They are planning to open it christmas day with their family and eveyone finds out together. I thought that was a really neat idea.....

A couple at church did something similar. They planned a "sex party" (not THAT kind ) so their friends could celebrate with them as they found out the sex of the baby. The sealed results were given to the baker doing the cake for the party........nobody would know the sex of the baby until they cut the cake at the party. (pink cake meant they were having a girl, blue cake meant they were having a boy)

Yes, there were quite a few raised eyebrows as the topic of a "sex party" circulated through the church. It turned out very cool though.

<thread hijack really over now....again>

Congrats on the news!
