Jwenting's plane #24 coud be YAK38 Vstol?

Here is plane #25

My folks brought me some Basque Shepherd's cheese made from sheep's milk. It has mildly nutty very tasty flavor, goes well with white Rhine wine.

In the USA 15 states allow public nudity, if it is not intended to be offensive.

You must be referring to John McCain!

He He, very true!

While on a car trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch.
After finishing their meal, the elderly woman left her glasses on the table, but she didn't miss them until they were back on the highway. The elderly man fussed and complained all the long way back to the restaurant. He called his wife every bad name he could think of.
When they finally arrived at the restaurant, and the woman got out of the car to retrieve her glasses, the man yelled to her, "And while you're in there, you might as well get my hat, too."

Very fanny indeed!

My computer goes on slow down strike, and I have to stick money onto the CD tray to speed it up.

Real nice find!

Nice cat!

Lol

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

Really nice!

There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew.

Christmas was illegal in Puritan Massachusetts.

Plane #20 looks similar to Grumman Hellcat, but I am not sure?

Here is my mystery plane, plane count is at #21 --->

Every bug you find is the last one.

damn thats what i meant to say, but i saud typhoon ;)

su25?
eurofighter?

Hint, look at the many tires, most likely heavy plane like bomber would be.

I remember in 2003 Fox News announced that the US Army had found a large chemical weapons plant in Iraq.

It turned out to be storage shed for agricultural chemicals. Fox News never retracted their assertions.

Okay, it's skeleton of "sea-polyp". So coral answer is very close.

More than one in four U.S. teen girls is infected with at least one sexually transmitted disease ...

Irish Shannon cheese (aged 3 years, wonderful flavor) with fresh French bread and a simple red table wine.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

#18, too easy. The plywood wonder, the Mosquito

True, too easy, it's WW2 Mosquito fighter made by DeHavilland.

Okay, this is just one little harder, plane #19 (then someone else can go):

Would #17 be P-40?

You are right, it is a P-40 Warhawk made by Curtiss (US).

Just another plane from same time period, #18 for your review:

I make mistakes faster than humans!

thanks for all the help everyone! it really helped me. im still a noob when it comes to programming, espically to python. its just to bad that after this quarter i wont be working with python anymore. its all java and c++ lol.

Hehe, every computer student has to go through the pain of C++ or Java programming, so you learn to be humble in the eyes of your trainer. In science, it is more important to solve the problems quickly, so Python rules.

clue: it's Italian.

Looks much like Piaggio P.166 plane.

In case I am right, here is mystery plane #17

Another one of those mystery pictures. Make a guess what it is.

Here are couple of helper functions:

def str2list(s):
    """convert string s to list of characters"""
    return list(s)

def list2str(q):
    """convert list of characters q to string"""
    return "".join(q)

def str_shuffle(s):
    """shufffle the characters of string s"""
    t_list = str2list(s)
    # random shuffle the list elements in place
    import random
    random.shuffle(t_list)
    return list2str(t_list)

print str_shuffle("movie")

I like to break things into functions, because the function names can tell what is going on.

Let me hang one up there, this is mystery plane #11. Any wild guesses?

I think Jwentings plane #10 might be F5 Tiger (Freedom Fighter), possibly one of the ones that the Shah of Iran purchased.

There is problem, if your string has several letter 'e', how would the program know which one to swap with for instance the 'm'?

You would have to make sure that the string does not have several equal letter pairs.

Note that strings are immutable. so you have to convert the string into list of letters to do the actual swapping and convert back to string, easy to do.

Never ever in this lifetime! I'll move to Netherlands first (well, not really but you get the idea)

Wow, and here I thought that "Jeb" was the nicest of the Bush sons. He would get the Florida Latino vote.

"What are you going to have Mister Wenting?"

Maybe John Sidney McCain III and John Ellis Bush (JEB) would be a nice ticket.

2005 Rothschild Cabernet Sauvignon, real good year.

Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.

Just read the news. Summarize the pro and anti articles, read the articles to see how opinionated they are, and you will see.

Where is your proof that the BBC is a "pro-terrorist" news organization? Looks to me like you have none!

The Brits have a stiff upper lip, the Yanks have ED.

great, back to the kindergarten now, eh? if you read the whole thread, you will see what I am talking about. And if you take a few years and go live in Israel, you will never say these things again.

Where is your proof that the BBC is a "pro-terrorist" news organization?

Is he any relation to the famous Jeff Buckley?

wonderful argument. how about proving your words?

I would think the proof is in your court. You accused these fine news organizations of being "pro-terrorist". Gives us about ten good examples.

yeah, CNN, BBC, Reuters and everyone else is pro-terrorist, and there isn't much to be done about it.
...

That is utter nonsense!

If at first you don't succeed ... So much for skydiving.

Men are simple things. They can survive a whole weekend with only three things: beer, boxer shorts and batteries for the remote control.
