    Come to the UK!
  2. You can be crazy and right, you know. At least that's what the voices in my head told me.
  3. What if I really am the only person who can prevent forest fires? What the hell am I doing working in the UK if that's true, and why hasn't FEMA got in touch about a green card?
  4. Thats been around a long time. While on aircraft carriers for my sea duty I remember standing watches on the rear sponson while in ports. There, welded to the deck was a large metal box that contained two "disabling" types of grenades. One was VS (tear gas) and the other was a vomiting/diarrhea agent. Sadly, nobody attacked on my watch so I never got to try them. *shock and awe* Oh MAN. I have got to get some of those! Are you sure they're for real?
  5. I'm afraid that as far as I'm concerned I'm not going to smoke while pumping gas. Apart from the obvious bad press if you did explode, it just sounds _wrong_.
  6. My school was rather backward. Any rumour of a 'bending unit' would doubtless have resulted in the poor thing being persecuted for being gay. Which would have been unfortunate if I had also been able to get the flamethrowers working (also a rather bad plan in a wooden robot).
  7. WHo is talking about killing anybody; the sex bomb is non-lethal. At least if you don't already have a weak heart or something, I suppose. I think the sex bomb qualifies as a lethality enabler. Although frankly, rather like Bill Hicks, if I topped a ridgeline and saw 50 hairy sets of man ass bobbing away I'd run like hell.
  8. Blackcurrant and ginseng tea.
  9. Sorry to hear you're ill. Nothing serious, I hope?
  10. Seems to me it's basic meme theory. People will believe any old rubbish if it gives them an excuse to behave in a way they wanted to to begin with. It's the first rule of leading awkward masses - tell them to do what they were going to do anyway.
  11. Fighting the system can be good. My prep school falsified my test results so they could send me off to boarding school early. This because I was causing far too much trouble, organising the other pupils, asking awkward questions, and trying to build a robot in woodwork class. That last may not have been terribly smart, though.
  12. I think the BLU-85 Daisy Cutter qualifies as a bowe disruptor. I know if I saw one floating lazily down towards me my bowels would be disrupted. I don't see what's so wrong about this gay bomb idea. In fact it never ceases to amaze me how the public seems to think there are 'sporting' methods of killing people.
  13. Another hot day here. Curiously sad as it reminds me of Africa, and the fact that it has become so dangerous.
  14. Indeed. What with all the girl chasing, fights with competitors, and general rebelliousness (none in my case) I'm amazed I had time for all that procrastination.
  15. Thanks, buddy! I can confirm that interference between transmission frequencies is part of the problem. Particularly the anti-collison radar as GD says. However it is not the only issue. I think that, to be perfectly honest, it also annoys me that someone would ignore the safety advice at all. It's not supposed to be open to personal tastes!
  16. Mmmm.. beagles... Sorry. i do that whenever anyone mentions puppies.
  17. Have you ever seen footage of bonobo apes?
  18. This is an incredibly old story. I'm fairly certain it's in the book "A higher form of killing".
  19. Have we left the debate on whooping during graduation?
  20. I do know that that is part of the problem. Some phones ramp up their power output in order to try to get a signal.
  21. Actually I had that virus. It wasn't worth it. Mucus EVERYWHERE.
  22. I _am_ sorry, but I will have to check which bits of what he said are fair game, and what is the result of any confidential work. This could take a week or so. Out of interest, if you chaps decide it is significant then will you do anything about phone use?
  23. I'm sorry I sounded so negative. I should have put more emphasis on the fact that I acknowledge the tremendous contribution some of these families have made to their children, and the struggle of the children themselves. What I was trying to say was: 1. Highschool shouldn't be so much of a struggle. It doesn't have to be, given enough pastoral care and dynamic control of the students. 2. The parents are clearly experiencing a degree of pride that overmasters their natural discretion. They need to be given a safe outlet for that pride.
  24. I'll have to check what I should and shouldn't say about the technical side.
