  Football Commentary: Coffin Corner Kicks vs. Pooch Kicks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Roughly speaking, the coffin corner kick requires the punter to control the kick's direction, whereas the pooch kick requires the punter to control the distance.
The most natural way to analyze this choice would be to examine data on a large number of coffin corner kicks, and a large number of pooch kicks, to see which approach leaves the opponents closer to their own goal line on average.
Among coffin corner kicks, the best choice according to the model is to aim toward the far sideline, at the opponent's 2.5 yard line.

 Airliners.net Military: Coffin Corner
Coffin corner is the point in air density (altitude) and air temperature where the airplane's stall speed and its Mach buffet speed are very close or the same.
And coffin corner is simply when you operate your plane in the upper rightmost corner of that graph of your flight envelope - where any decrease of speed would make you fall out of the sky, and any increase of speed would produce a Mach buffet - and make you fall out of the sky.
Flying the U-2 all way up at coffin corner is further complicated by the fact that a very slight sideslip will cause an engine flameout since at 70,000 feet or so the engine will suffer from oxygen starvation if the flow is not directly into the intakes.

 village voice > theater > by Francine Russo
Well, maybe that was true at the play's 1965 debut, but at a recent Saturday matinee not far from the millennium, a blue-haired matron chirpily pronounced it "cute." Ah, what a way we've come since we could be disturbed by a satire of Christian piety, familial devotion, and a benevolent government.
Now we smile at the story of a good man trying with dignity to bury his wife—murdered by a seducer—serial poisoner nurse—while his reprobate son and the undertaker (the son's male lover) hide their loot from a bank heist in her coffin and a corrupt detective sniffs out both blood and money.
Tracey Atkins, as the nurse, tosses one with blasé and deadly aim when she suggests adorning the dead wife's coffin with the Ten Commandments: "She was a great believer in...some of them." But overall, Orton invites a more knowing and over-the-top interpretation.

 Coffin Corner; Distance, direction key factors for punters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The coffin corner is the corner of the field formed by the sideline and the defending team's goal line.
George Ricumstrict, special teams coordinator for Indiana University, said the coffin corner is not extinct at the collegiate level.
Punters are afforded a minute margin for error, and placing the ball in the corner requires a subtle shift in footwork, increasing the potential for a block.

In a tense moment, Taylor manages to not only disarm and subdue her assailant, she successfully lands a Lear jet that is low on fuel.
Coffin Corner, the third in a series, is a fun, quick mystery.

 The Corner on National Review Online
I go away for a few days to the Gomorrahs of London, Stockholm and Amsterdam, and return to find inhabitants of this usually happy Corner burning the Union Jack, exchanging blows over British conservatism and arguing over who is the more hysterical, the Brits or the Yanks.
I have noticed, by the way, both anecdotally in speaking to people and even in the Corner, that the more that people learn about the case, the more they begin to have sympathy for Michael Schiavo.
I didn't at all mind that you kept up the commentary when there was hope (and I appreciate that you made the Corner pretty much the best place to go to follow the situation with Terri) but things being what they are now, I wish most of you would just shut up for a while.

Pilots could push a tube through a little hole in the face mask and suck on sweetened water or cheese- and bacon-flavored food mixtures squeezed from soft containers.
Undoubtedly the most daunting problem faced by U-2 pilots was the infamous "coffin corner," the terribly tiny margin between Mach-shock and stall buffet.
At altitudes above 65,000 feet, the first U-2s had an interval of only six knots (7 mph) indicated airspeed between the onset of Mach buffet and a stall.
