BTW the allege "smug" and "greens" jokes aren't jokes at all. It's just annoying.

Maybe in the future you can get one of these as an artificial heart:
"What-cha got in there? That's a helluva scar."
"Well, I went for the big block V-8, I got the arteries for it."
"Damn. I got stuck with 4 banger. Doc said my transmission is shot and couldn't take the strain."
"Ever hear Joe? Poor guy. Got a Wankel. Sounds weird as hell.."
exeunt.

Touché. I and my two new titanium-and-pyrolitic-carbon heart valves salute the concept, so long as the maintenance intervals are far enough apart...

My high school machine shop project was building a miniature boxer twin steam engine scaled up from plans for a single. It putts along quite nicely at ~5psi. Long term I'd like to build a boxer 4 or 6 (or maybe an H or radial 12 if I get really crazy) but that's a home machine shop away from reality right now.
