You are correct, the twins accelerate with application of less force than most other vehicles because the twins have less mass. If one's definition of meaningful lies above that limit then the statement stands.

:P

THAT EXPLAINS IT!
The amount of force you can apply is directly related to your midichlorian count. That is why some have no problem and other think it is slow!

So, was given the green light to reenlist as a medic which is awesome! But I need to have at least my EMT-B certificate to qualify apparently. So quite happy!

We got a call from our friend, the German shepherd breeder, and she wants to give us Princess' brother Ochi. I guess Ochi didn't score well enough at the vet, and isn't recommended to breed, so she has to find him a home. My son does a lot of work for them on their farm and has become close to Ochi. So now my son and wife are bugging me to accept her offer. Two giant long haired Shepards.
