What does it mean to "torpedo a bottle of beer"? It sounds like some kind of chugging method.

Well, to be fair, the pig wasnt enclosed.

IMO, the galaxy does not look realistic. Unless you have an explanation for the humungus missing chunk of gas and matter that create the "scorpion tail".

No and no. That said, based on the guys name in the articles, I think these are two videos that show some of this new footage from aired news stories. One's on youtube and the other some news website where you have to watch an ad first etc. video.ap.org link It's just another blurry dark shape in the water video. Thanks for the links. I wonder what could be causing those wakes/shapes as thats not the first vidoe of Loch Ness Ive seen them in. They look much too large to be explained away with an otter or sea bird. Oh yeah? Well how would you feel if it came to your house and started pushing you around?

Linky Anyone seen this video yet? Anyone believe its possible for Nessie to exist?

Finally caught up to Alien vs. Predator on cable the other day. With great shame I must admit I enjoyed it. I even learned a few things, like I didnt know that the Aliens look the way they look because of them hibernating in humans. I always assumed they naturally looked that way and used humans as a living incubator but the movie clearly shows they incorporate parts of their hosts physiology.

Im glad you cleared that up, I was about to fly off the handle.

@ LC: You should consider The Burning Crusade expansion for WoW. You get two new races, a new profession and of course an entirely new continent.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I dont believe there are any 64-bit applications out yet for mainstream consumers. What that means, AFAIK, is you wont realize any performance gain but you will be future proof.

Well, if its to be set in DC, monument avoidance is impossible. The place is rife with them as I assume most country capitals are.

IIRC, a painful lesson was learned in naval warfare regarding the use of aluminum to build the superstructures of ships. A British warship was hit by an Exocet and the resultant fire proceded to melt large aluminum portions.

alanschu left? I guess hes not gone gone but he sure doesnt post with the frequency he used to.

Interesting. Its always rattled around in the back of my head, how do you "kill" whats magically animated? Like the old "cut off the evil hand and the evil hand comes after you".

Congrats Rosbjerg!

Hehe, were talking Yamato class here. Its freaking 11:52am and Im still not right. Man, Im getting old.

^So if you only chop off an arm or leg from the skelly it should "die" too?

I drank enough Jaeger last night to float a battleship. I feel like poo today. This morning Im pounding coffee in a failing attempt to stave off death.

Smokin' Aces Somewhat entertaining shoot-em-up.

^I always thought defragging a drive was basically reordering all the files contained therin to be streamlined and continuous. Are you saying it has something to do with the mechanical nature of todays HD's?

They probably mean the USB ports they put on the side edge of their larger monitors, which is genius IMO.

WooHoo, its Friday leading into a long weekend! Grilling, drinking and hanging out with friends is whats in store for me.

@ Tale: Thats an excellent point. I dont know, it just seemed so forced.

That threw me off too, "Get my father down here and if Im drunker then him you can fire me." WTF! The whole flash forward stunk of a dream sequence. I thought the epoisode was jusk ok. Charlie dying was stupid, he could have easily run to the other side of the door to close it instead of sealing himself in.

Huh, so if you open up on someone from point blank range with a .50 caliber machine gun they turn to goo. Good to know.
