This one:

Well, I can now reveal the reason for it. "Trains and boats and planes" and a truck, a balloon and a ship or two!

Megaman and I have just launched http://train.spottingworld.com, using the same software that wikipedia uses, for railfans and train spotters everywhere. This type of thing makes a great community, so we thought we'd have a go. Trains is this week. Soon we'll launch planes, then trucks, and then the others.

The thing that has surprised me, perhaps like any specialist area, is how genunely interesting many of the pages are. Click http://train.spottingworld.com/Special:Random a couple of times and see where you end up. Follow a few links, and see how long you spend there.

I'm excited about the plane site.

I have a love for aviation. Used to do a lot of plane spotting when i lived in Los Angeles.

Currently i go to school to be an Aircraft Mechanic. 98% of the student body is male. Sounds good but i like none of them haha

You don't love someone because they are beautiful, they are beautiful because you love them.

The plane site will come as soon as we have learned from the train site Smile

We have a lot we are planning for it.
