Whomever started the extended hub spinner thing crap should be flogged for 10 hours. Seen every car fad in Va but so far hasn't made it this way....

Bond, James Bond....his Aston Martin had extendable spinners. Fixed spinners on the evil driver of the chariot in Ben Hur.

You could say they were offensive weapons as opposed to a stupid fashion statement as above.....

This is a 3D model of the state of Oklahoma printed from an actual topographic model of the state. It proves the state is not flat ans a pancake.

If the Z axis is to the same scale as the X and Y, which I doubt.

As a rough guess, I'd say the Z axis is about 100x the x and Y. I doubt the western panhandle is 150 miles higher than the eastern part of the state.

Read the article in the link:

Not only Kansas, but every state is flatter than a pancake if reduced to the scale of a pancake.

Most all maps exaggerate the Z axis to show any relief at all.

I've heard say that if a billiard ball was increased to the size of the earth, the ball would have deeper valleys and higher mountains.

I'd avoid the special sauce, and any horizontal surfaces there. I do hear they take alternative forms of payment for deliveries, though.
