Only if the Reynolds number is over 2100. Otherwise, you are in laminar flow, then f=16/NRe (if we are talking fanning friction factor).
Seriously, this sort of stuff is always what this Chemical Engineer thinks about when I hear this song. It's sad.

Were you one of those guys in that Fairlane? I still think our rebuilt 283 could've beat you but the ol' Maypop tires just didn't have the grip.
I'll miss you LK. He'd gave me he 30,000 tunes. Opened the the giant door to downloading and piracy as it were him and Rp from back to the ought 2000's. Many many drinkin' beer nights. And a hurricane or 2! RIP
Tori is your gay meter. She was once quoted that only gay men care for here style. I do not care for her music. Hooray for me, I passed the strait test, lol.
Sting gets a lot of stick, particularly from the Brits. Can someone explain to me why? He doesn't seem so obviously up his own posterior like many other big names out there, and he is unquestionably a really talented musician. What's the problem people have with him?

I usually don't like mixes, but the one of this song mixed with Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" is really incredible. (I guess it helps a lot that I like both songs on their own.) Check it out on YouTube.

No. Gabriel I know that's you disguised as a listener you creepy stalker of my ears. Putting Gabriel into a Cure tune is like taking a dump in my coffee to get a new flavour.

Cool comment and I was looking forward to a proto-Zimbra when I googled Dance of Maya (and I did play it at 2x speed too) but it's not what snard says it is.
Yeah, but that's the only part that doesn't make sense, right?

I Zimbra was created around the time fripp and the alien math scale rhythmic discipline thing went public, before this thing crawled into the belew-levin-bruford-fripp crimson - I Zimbra might be the debut of that thing even...perhaps it needed the hive mind of eno/byrne/belew/fripp to rupture itself up. "Larks tonuges" was close, but outside in. This thing breathes inside out, like a cool ivory jacket with it's warm blue veins on the outside. Check out the much earlier "Dance of Maya" ( preferably about 3 times faster for cross-examination ) by Mahavishnu Orchestra ( CGTw/levin&masteleto also bow to it beautifly ) - this is wherethe thing first clawed thru the blood-brain barrier, stretched it's scaly head thru our lovely scabs, sniffed about and decided to come back when we were ready... ( oh yes, the lyrics might be in it's alien language which has no earthly interpretation we humans can bear to comprehend (? ) I Zimbra could be the name of this language, or the Thing's name ( "I Zimbra, you Jane" ) or the coming invasion's name...what do you think?

The grammar discussion on the BoDeans song is a never-ending source of amusement.

Um, that's only a 'fix' if you don't mind changing the meaning of the lyrics, however subtly. In that case, you could substitute anything that satisfies a desire for grammatical purity. "Don't pass my bee." "Here in the sea." "Geese in a v." "Free free free free."
The lyrics are just fine as they are, IMO.
But this comment about the song itself is pretty awesome.

This song means a lot to me.
I met an Aussie girl in Tahoe when we were both working at a ski resort. When she went home I drove her down to SFO to catch her flight home. KFOG played this song when I was pulling out of the parking garage. I just lost it. We really liked each other and I didn't think I'd ever see her again - she was on a plane to Sydney and I was 23 years-old. What were the chances? This song just totally captured how I felt about her - it struck every nerve.
We've been married now for 10 years and have a little girl.
I'm 16 years old, it's 1982. I'm working the midnight shift at Shell Gas in North Vancouver. The quirky guy on shift before me leaves a tape in the grubby player. Tells me I'm welcome to listen. I press play and hear the Nebraska album all in one go. Just me and the urban nightscape.... I felt like I'd been hit by a ghost by the time I'd listened to both sides. I give this song a 10 when it's played in the context of the entire album.
timing is everything...
