    They had to double the width of the runways on Midway to keep the gooneys from building nests in way of take offs and landings.

    Those old World War II aircraft, something to walk around and look at. But you could never get me up in one, even if I had the money for the ride.

    Last time I used Google Earth to look at Midway, and not sure when it was there, tons of the birds there.

    Yeah, the birds are a protected species, so the maintenance people had to allow for them being ... birdbrains ... when it came to nesting.

    Hope for millions after spinal cord injury research breakthrough - MSN

    Australia continues its contribution to medical science...Many of our discoveries and inventions are safety and health orientated. Such as Spray on Skin...The black box for aircraft...The Pacemaker...Medical application of penicillin!...Cochlea Implants (Bionic Ear) - Ultra Sound scanners...etc etc...This could be one of our best.
