...Ford's cronies, who were great tool- and diemakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Ford's sprawling Highland Park plant was humming along in 1914, the world's first automatic conveyor belt could churn out a car every 93 minutes...
...concept of a "greatest hits album" is relative in the saturated music industry of today. As long as they still have a pulse, a band/singer can churn out a greatest hits CD, regardless of how many major hits they've had. Case in point: Snow. We all remember his infectious little ditty "Informer" from back in the early 1990s. A masterpice! We couldn't understand what he was saying, but it didn't matter because the song was just so damn catchy! However, only a few more will remember his follow-up single "Girl I've Been Hurt," which rode...
With 2Pac and the Notorious B.I.G. six feet under, Dr. Dre and Wu-Tang Clan brazenly shifting towards hip-hop sounds and stars like Snoop Dogg content to churn out uninspired drivel like "Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told," gangster rap is in danger of becoming little more than innocuous dance music...

Banks...
...Scientists have long known that HIV is devilishly effective at fending off antibodies lobbed at it by the body's immune system. One way the virus does that is by mutating rapidly, changing the various amino acids that make up its outer shell and thus forcing the body to churn out millions of new antibodies, all of which may become ineffective with the next mutation. Some parts of the virus don't change, however; if they did, HIV would rapidly lose its power to infect. If scientists understood more about those parts, they could use them as the basis...
