Radar Stealth???

I'd gladly be Tango's prisoner. Cats never bite people named Daniel. (It's in the Bible.) I miss my kitty. Bengal tigers are the most beautiful animals in the world. They have Siberian tigers in the Calgary zoo, and they look just like Bengals. I was literally inches from one, Just a chain-link fence between us. But I missed the chance to walk with the tigers at Australia Zoo outside of Brisbane.

They purr just like small cats as well. Enough you want to reach in there and scritch their neck. But don't try it. They don't read the bible.

Some of the high-end bikes these days are made almost entirely out of carbon fiber (including the wheels). You might get a better radar reflection by pointing the radar at the rider (in particular, at their mouth for the reflection from their fillings (ha, ha, ha)....)

Actually, tigers don't purr. It's virtually the definition of the difference between big cats and small cats. Small cats purr but don't roar. Big cats roar but don't purr. This being the definition, the biggest small cats are bigger than the smallest big cats. Which is why Tango, a very big cat, certainly does purr. I would "scritch" Tango, if Angela'd let me. It would not even be the scariest thing I've done. That would have to be jumping out of an airplane. However, cats not reading the Bible is indeed a serious problem.

 

The tigers I've seen (Siberian ones) purr. A deep purr. They associated people by the fence with feeding time (as that is when they were fed). This was at the now disgraced Alberta Game Farm. About a month after we visited them they mauled a student (summer worker). About a year later the Game Farm was shut down for many reasons, not the least of which was the owner using the animals to make money on the black market.

See, now if you'd gotten one of the red ones they come with flares ECM and chaff. B)

Awww, I love tigers! I would love to be Sigfreid & Roy's tiger-sitter when they go out of town.... *snuggles all the tigers* :wub: I once got to take care of somebody's pet bobcat. It was rad. He looked like this one (googled): http://photo.net/photo/pcd1647/bobcat-49.4.jpg

As far as big cats not eating people named Daniel..... as I recall, those were lions in that pit with him. So, the rule only applies to lions, not tigers (which Tango conciders himself). He'd probably eat you. One exception to the "not eating people named Daniel" rule, would seem to be people named Jay Leno......he's always mauling the big cats when they're brought onto his show, and hasn't been killed yet! So I guess lions won't eat Daniels, and no big cat will eat Jay Lenos.

As for me allowing you to pet Tango, go for it. It's your funeral! :lol: I kid, I kid.... in all reality he's a sweet and loveable kitty, very mischievious, very social and enjoys being the center of attention. Although our dog would describe him as the Devil's Spawn..... LOL.

Another consideration.... Speed stops are a way of finding people with other "wants and warrants" or whatever. I assume few Prius drivers are smuggling drugs (although under the trunk floor would hold a lot of contraband) or have a warrant out for their arrest. One time I was driving a US Gov't vehicle over the speed limit (doing field work 90 miles from the office, saving the gov't money by not needing a hotel and per diem) and the HP caught me with radar. I thought my goose was cooked. On came the red lights, and he tagged the private vehicle that was closely following me! BTW, radar detectors are against the rules in gov't vehicles, as is talking on a cell phone. And if you speed, it's likely your office chief will hear from a congressional staffer when a citizen complains.
