London Bridge, isn't it? I think I remember that from a Trivia question in the IRC room...

the funny thing was, i lived there (in arizona) when it was moved, the bridge was in the middle of the desert, a very long time before the water :lol:

sighs and breaks out pen and paper to draw stick figures

in order to be "pushing something, the driving force must be behind it, hence the ball is behind the hook, the direction of travel not withstanding, the ball will still remain behind the hook..

i cannot make that any simpler.. i am sorry if it still is unclear, maybe some of our college attendee's can do it :biggrin:

bottom-line, you are pushing, not pulling.
so the driving force is the hook, and not the vehicle? is it a petrol driven hook?

what part of a moving train always goes backwards when the train is moving forwards normally. the faster the train moves forwards, the faster the part/s in question will move backwards.

nope, even if the engine was running in reverse, it would still be moving in the same direction as the rest of the train. except the bit i want you to name, that is.

Probably something to do with the ratings of your maps ... because my snark marks haven't moved an inch ... hint hint. lol

But if you're talking about the change that happend like last month, he posted it ... somewhere...

... I er um ... beats John in the head with a bat and bolts off in the opposite direction

Soon ... maybe ... you must realize this week is my first break from school since I've joined this 'community' so I've barley even touched Hammer since I've been here, not that I hadn't before.

Anything that I'd release soon, however, would be pretty small.
