Well now we understand why the lumber is warped.  Planes need wing warp to bank
into a turn.  Or at least the Wright Flyer used that technique instead of
separate ailerons on the wings.

You'll also like the King of the Hill restaurant in Bentleyville (some
subsidiary of 84 Lumber).  We only ate there once ... food was average and I sat
for an hour plus in a draft on a cold night.
