    From the Wikipedia article on Arturo Toscanini:

    At the end of his final season with the Metropolitan Opera in May 1915, Toscanini was set to return to Europe aboard the doomed RMS Lusitania, but instead cut his concert schedule short and left a week early, aboard the Italian liner Duca degli Abruzzi.

        You see size comparisons all the time but this shows tilt and rotation speed too.

                  Cool, and by the same token I assume it would float on Mr. Biden.

                        It reminds me a little of the Isuzu Impulse I owned around that time, it had a similar fancy dashboard

                            @Ivorythumper this is something, in all my years, that I never thought about.

                              It would be nice to imagine the vomit force being due to a rifling action of the neck, but alas, it's just boring ol' gravity.

                                As someone who, presumably, has never had someone literally vomit into your (unmasked) face*, you have no standing to comment in this thread, @Horace.

                                        Those sorts of extremist views, devoid of nuance, have no place in this discussion.
