Fact of the Day: The top propeller (Spinny thing) on the Robinson R22 spins so quickly that it causes small particles of semtex in the air to catch fire. When Capt Elvis Presley first saw this at LARPA in 1906 it inspired him to write the popular hit Ring of Fire #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/RaofYHBgm4

Don’t forget that it was this image, along with the title “Ring Of Fire” that inspired Peter Jackson to design the Eye of Sauron, as described in the movie’s subsequent novelisation by Tolkien.

Wow. I never knew that. Always thought Elvis wrote that after a particularly hot curry.
