Test

<snip>

I was basing it on the fact that once above the artic crcle , due to the
clear air and temp, distances can become "unreal" and objects can be seen
from over the horizon in a mirage sense.

 

Right. That's actually the 'dip' to which I refer, caused by
temperature inversion (i.e. a layer of warm air on top of a layer of
cooler air). This causes a much greater than normal level of
refraction in the boundary layers and can give rise to a no-horizon
effect. nothing to do with clean air, and it can happen elsewhere, but
is indeed much more likely in polar zones.

Oh well, thats how the travel books described it :-(

 

Apparently the AK47 was the weapon of choice for complete numpties
because you could abuse the **** out of it and still use it to shoot
at people. It's worth noting that the same people that passed on the
above information also said it was very hard to actually hit anyone.

 

Now removed.

 

PMSL. Hit the nail on the head, obviously.

 

I did not see that post, so the test failed.
