Never skipped a beat, na
While cooling on South street
Jet black Benz, plenty of friends
And all the Philly steaks you could eat
Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
Could it really happen? Or do dreams fade away
Then we started singing them
They said it sounded smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you

you both have totally lost me!

Wow, Motownphilly reference. We are an eclectic bunch.

Chobish?

Naruto?

DDR pad? is that something to do with East Germany?

Back Again... doin' a  little East Coast...
Gotta Love it. I've got all the Albums still!

That and Milli Vanilli!

Substantial voltages are present across the small gaps between the photocathode, the phosphorescent output screen, and the MCP, which require careful construction of the devices to ensure they are free from contamination and can maintain high internal vacuums. Proximity-focused intensifiers are free from geometrical distortion or shading because the photoelectrons follow short, direct paths between the cathode, output screen, and the MCP rather than being focused by electrodes.

Is now 100% confused.....

My hovercraft is full of eels!

Eels, you say?

Моё судно на воздушной подушке полно угрей!

Make that RUSSIAN eels!

No more confusion.  I mean it!








Anybody want a peanut?

Now I've gone crosseyed...

Confusion? What confusion?

<Looks confused now>

So far that was 100% understandable or as one might say "Klar wie Kloßbrühe"

and I will take some peanuts, that is unless you got some tuna  ;)

For those of you without a scorecard, the hovercraft line was from the Monty Python Flying Circus TV series.

Although the translation was theoretically from Hungarian:
A légpárnás hajóm tele van angolnákkal!

We know return you to your regularly scheduled confusion.

Madam Bluk-heir!

The fifteen cheeses faced great difficulty in their  scientific debate over the fate of the moon.

Bees eat oats for buttery enjoyment.

Now i'm confused

[i]The overall photon gain of these devices averages about 10,000, which is calculated according to the equation:

Gain = QE x G(mcp) x V(p) x E(p)
where QE is the photocathode quantum efficiency (0.1 to 0.5 electrons/photon), G(mcp) is the microchannel plate gain (averaging between 500-1000), V(p) is the voltage between the MCP and the output phosphor (around 2500-5000 volts), and E(p) is the electron-to-light conversion efficiency of the phosphor (0.08-0.2 photons/electron). When the voltage drop between the MCP and the output phosphor decreases below 2500 volts, the phosphor becomes unresponsive.

Nerd! Where's your claw protector?!
