# okies...
How do you know it's going backwards? i think your thinking of a boat...

# when you row
you row so your back is forwards, your front is at the back so to speak. i mean your back is at the front of the boat and your front is at the back. you pull bak on the oars to go forwards, i.e. in the direction of your back.

# no,
yeah, thats a boat.

When you actually get a rowing machine on the water it does go forward, because it has no ores, it use the fan suck up air to push it forwards. you sit backwards on a baot so ores will work.

i'm being silly by the way

# Sopranos 4 not as good as Sopranos 1, 2 & 3 shocker.
But yes, the whole Ralphy and his decapitated head thing was a larf...

# I was wondering why the american version
was "junkyard wars" the other day.

OK, so scrapheap==junkyard so that's fine, but why call it a "war" when it's just a load of inbreds with a welder failing to successfully hurt anyone?

Surely that's the A-team rather than a war?

# They have to kill members of their own team
to make it a war...
