[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 618913, member: 9198"] I know this was meant to be funny - and it was. But I have a problem with the use of percentages as some folks use them. For example, if 100% represents all there is, nothing beyond 100% then how can NASA "throttle up" the engines to 110%? Or refineries run at 130% of capacity? Seems like the engineers design certain limits into the product, machine, etc. and that limit represents 100% (everything) so how can you safely operate beyond 100%? Just something to think about next time you hear the phrase "... roger, throttling up to 110%". [/QUOTE]
