Careful thar B.C. as I resemble dat remark.
Actually the cho is whatever you wish it to be, what works for some doesn't always work for others.

Theres No Business
Like Cho Business
Theres no business like Cho business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing,
everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
when you are stealing
that extra bow
Theres no people like Cho people,
they smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold,
you may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldnt change it for a sack of gold,
lets go on with the Cho!
(I truly tried to resist doing this. Truly.)
Kis
enjoy every sandwich.

This may be the most insane thread I have ever read anywhere on any of the Blade forums. I like it.
Yeah, but by all rights it should be in the Cantina as we're not s'possed to be off topic in the HI Forum.

LOL, moving this to the Cantina, since it has gone wildly astray.
Carry on...
thank you, oh member of the Chosen. while we have striven to keep to the chosen topic of chos, there have been some unscrupulous ex outsourcing agents who have made certain unconfirmed claims herein. we at the outsourcing firm would like to distance ourselves from those. about 500 meters should do. - posted by gupta.
and as a follow-on to kismet's trebuchet, i noted therein very few cho references, and one significant one by sarge about multi-tube projectile launchers and a comment nearby about the first shot setting off the remainder, let me say this about that:
[youtube]xCx4j0DQ36k[/youtube]
this uses multiple stacked propellant charges seperated by the projectiles, being electronically fired. note the barrels are arranged in a traditional tho squared off kaudi shape as used on my kobra and other HI khukuri products. those who have read thru this thread will recognise that this cho shape adds range and stability to boomeranged khukuries, so why not to 1,000,000 rpm automatic firearms.
and gupta, i will not deign to be replying to your firms unscrupulous firing of me in my hour of need. i retain my issued laptop, exercycle and generator and due to the proliferation of wireless access points in mumbai, i can be anywhere and everywhere, catch me if you can. i will continue to fulfull my pledged service to humanity thru outsourcing this most excellent person whose life i make easier by relieving him of some of the burden. - akash.

while this particular flavour was aussie, i recall there was an american who made a flintlock or percussion muzzle loading rifle with a number of touch holes or cap nipples along the side which could be fired sequentially from front to rear charge,
1824 militia model from conneticut, percussion models came later
it of course depended a lot on the wadding and spacing of the superposed charges during loading and were very prone to misfires, and for all of the charges going off at the same time. it did not find favour with anyone, either civil or military for that reason. sam colt's version of the multi-shot weapon won out in the end, at least for handgun versions. the rapidfire rifle awaited the breechloading sharps rifle, self contained cartridges and the civil war.
the aussies seem to have found the modern day cure by use of technology, and i've heard they even make pistols with this stacked charge principle, the 'magazine' is in effect the barrel and is replaced to reload. the charges are electrically fired, batteries in the grip. neat idea. it will of course be improved by adding a cho.

the woomera in australia, or the atlatl in other areas effectively lengthened the human throwing arm.
this was exploited by dogs who invented the sling for throwing tennis balls and trained their humans to throw for them, resulting in greater force, velocity and range to the projectile. similarly the staff sling
added length to the traditional shepherd's sling, and it's further development by dog owners resulted in the traction trebuchet
powered by multiple men. this did not find favour with dogs as it takes multiple owners to throw one tennisball, resulting in the decline of it's use. it was replaced by the counterweighted trebuchet
and it's single human requirement and greater range is much more favoured by greyhound owners.
warick castle here in the UK has the ultimate tennis ball trebuchet,
but is not recommended for dogs as it is not very portable and throws the tennis ball too far and the dogs lose interest rapidly. it is however useful for throwing larger objects, like your ex-wife.
in order to maintain the use of trebuchets for throwing tennis balls, my dogs would like you all to practice the use thereof by means of this online trebuchet game from the folks at warwick castle.
Linky
warick castle are also hard at work on the modification to add a cho. no khukuries or dogs were hurt during the posting of this post. my ex wife will eventually recover. had i added more weight to the counterweight she would have cleared the river and hit the rocks on the far side. ah, well, there's always next time.

Lest this thread start to veer, I did some research on the meanings of the abbreviation of "CHO." Gotta keep on track, you know.
Acronym Definition
CHO Carbohydrate (chemical formla Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen)
CHO Chinese Hamster Ovary
CHO Chemical Hygiene Officer
CHO Chief Health Officer (corporate title)
CHO Community Health Officer
CHO CMOS Harmonic Oscillator
CHO Charlottesville, VA, USA - Charlottesville/Albemarle (Airport Code)
CHO Children's Hospital of Oklahoma
CHO Canadian Hemophilia Outcomes
CHO Chief Humanitarian Officer
CHO Chuan Hup Offshore
although the search prompts the question, exactly how often does one need to discuss Chinese Hamster Ovaries to the point where an an acronym is deemed necessary?

must be a lot of haemophilia in canada too.
why do you need an officer to ensure chemicals are hygenic. a staff sergeant should suffice. and if they didn't wash, the rest of their platoon would wire brush them in short order anyhow. that ethyl mercaptan is a smelly one tho.

OK...I HAD to check.
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are a cell line derived from the ovary of the Chinese hamster. They are often used in biological and medical research and commercially in the production of therapeutic protiens. They were introduced in the 1960s and grow as a cultured monolayer. They require the amino acid proline in their culture medium.
CHO cells are used in studies of genetics, toxicity screening, nutrition and gene expression, particularly to express recombinant proteins. Today, CHO cells are the most commonly used mammalian hosts for industrial production of recombinant protein therapeutics.
The use of the Chinese hamster in research began in 1919[citation needed] where they were used in place of mice for typing pneumococci. They were subsequently found to be excellent vectors for transmission of kala-azar (also known as visceral leishmaniasis), facilitating research in epidemiology.
In 1948, the Chinese hamster was brought to the United States for breeding in research laboratories. In the following years, the Chinese hamster became noteworthy for the cell lines that were derived from its tissues. Having a very low chromosome number (2n=22) for a mammal, the Chinese hamster is an ideal model for radiation cytogenetics and tissue culture.
In 1957, T. Puck obtained a female Chinese hamster from Dr. George Yerganian's laboratory at the Boston Cancer Research Foundation and used it to derive the original Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line.[citation needed] Since then, CHO cells have been a cell line of choice because of their rapid growth and high protein production. They have become the mammalian equivalent of E. coli in research and biotechnology today, especially when long-term, stable gene expression and high yields of proteins are required.
CHO cells do not express the Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which makes them ideal in the investigation of various EGFR mutations
