		The Damocles is built using the most advanced method available for carbon fiber construction: It's a monocoque frame, which thanks to its seamless design gives it loads of durability and lightness.
		By now we've had countless experiences drilling monocoque bikes in the boonies and we're almost always jackhammered by road shock and annoyed by the constancy and the loudness of the sharp echoing noise that reverberates in their oversized tubes.
		The beauty of the Damocles is that you get every bit of performance you'd expect from a ProTour bike, but at a price that saves you sufficient money to upgrade your wheelset or other components to give you a bike that looks the part of a ProTour bike from stem-to-stern.

	Damocles and other cometary bodies
		Before Damocles was discovered in 1991, the only "outer planet crosser" known --apart from comets, of which I want to speak-- was 944 Hidalgo, discovered in 1920, which traveled between the Mars/asteroid-belt realm and Jupiter, crossing it briefly and coming back with a period of 13.8 years, very close to that of Jupiter.
		Of all these only Damocles has been observed for a whole synodic cycle (2 oppositions), so all these orbits are more or less preliminary, and we must not forget that Damocles was lost in 1992, soon after its discovery, so the present ephemeris may show significant errors for positions before the 1980's.
		Consideration of this "family" is interesting to me for 2 reasons: it helps me understand the nature of the centaurs, as these are also crossers, more aggressive crossers indeed than centaurs, but they are linked to the inner solar system, like comets, while centaurs always remain within the sphere of the giant outer planets.

	IPY: Full Proposal Details
		The evidence of inter-disciplinarity in DAMOCLES comes from the fact meteorologists, glaciologists and oceanographers are deeply involved and integrated in the same program both from an observational and modelling point of views.
		Moreover the specific topics of Damocles demand that an integrated network of measuring devices be purchased, modified to fit with the Scientific and Technical requirements and ran and maintained by several contractors towards the acquisition of common database and this over a period much longer than the EU contract.
		The DAMOCLES data management and distribution system assumes that the data collector in addition to data collection (including potential satellite links etc.) takes care of data consistency check, backup of raw data and Internet link (push or pull technology by choice of the data collector) of data to the Data management and distribution system.

	A New Perspective on the Sword of Damocles by Tim Case
		This legend tells us how Damocles, as courtier to Dionysius the Elder (AKA the Tyrant of Syracuse), was always declaring his admiration at the power, wealth, and contentment of the king.
		When Damocles arrived at the feast he was given the seat of honor over which a sword was suspended from the ceiling by a single hair – signifying the precariousness of a king's fortunes.
		The essential morality was that if there was to be war then for them to reap the rewards they must be willing to risk their lives, the lives of their families and their accumulated wealth.

		In the piece, Damocles is placed on the left of the painting in a rich gold chair, while Dionysius is placed in the center of the painting.
