  • trust me bud, it haunts me too.

  • @captaincaustic I already thought it was a windmill, just didn't recognize the type of windmill. Thanks!

  • @landshark80 Having taken high school History, and having no idea what that was a reference to (until I googled it just now), I reaffirm your status of Geek. :->

  • I once saw a book on the 54-40 or Fight called "Thrust and Counterthrust The Genesis of the Canada-United States Boundary." It made me laugh.

  • @sebashoning If you Wiki Magnus effect or Rotor Ship, you'll see that this a windmill. The part that we see the gentleman fiddling with is the governor for regulating its speed. It's difficult to tell from the video, but the 3 large cyliners are rotating about their long axes.

  • @landshark80 Anyone who's taken high school history?

  • @sebashoning

    sex.

  • I get 54-40 or fight

  • "Or I'll just hear the echo of 54-40 or fight." Now that is a true geek lyric, and I wonder how few people get that. ;)

  • What is it we're seeing in this video?
