Wonder if they're true........?

A friend of mine recently commented that I seem to be making a lot of references to flying and planes...I hadn't noticed it personally...have no reason for it other than the subject interests me and my brother (who flies light aircraft) sends me humerous/educational snippets....the lastest of these being...

Problem #2: "#1, #3, and #4 propellers lack normal seepage."

It's probably an urban myth...but it still made me smile!!!
