LOL LucasArts revises canon again.

Nitric acid.

I was making the point that you are just setting up a self-fulfilling prophesy, a fait accompli. Nothing wrong with that, lots of people do it. I was just commenting, in case you weren't aware and might change your behaviour if you were.

A friend of mine wanted desperately to be a tail-gunner. He went to sign-up and was distraught, disappointed and disgusted when he was told that there was no such position (since the end of WW2).

I'll take that as a "yes" you are, indeed an ignorant moron. Because i'm dissapointed in a game i paid 50

I think they should photocopy all those sketchpads and print them on t'internet for us.

You forgot the Secret Forum.

Not chimpanzee?

Good thing you are a good technologist and keep an up-to-date archive of all your work. "

So why do the French hate the English?

Use the proper noun, indicated with the first letter as a capital, as per agreement with the makers. Hormel originally were a little upset that their product had become a byword for unwanted, useless (and tasteless) crap, but then (I guess when they realised the amount of marketing it resulted in) they were happy as long as "spam" was the internet verbiage and "Spam" was their tasty product.

I guess the reason why an alien race of mechanoids would need to change into everyday vehicles is similar to superman disguising himself as Clark Kent. (But, in both instances, I can't see it as being an imperative.) I still don't know how these aliens planned to transform into old Earth technology is a bit obscure. Do they have a transformer that changes into an old Model T, or anything historical?

Quoted for truth. That's like being the best batsman in the Canadian cricket team. This is what I do, for instance, today I had to show up half an hour early because there was a meeting. I ate a free bagel, sat around for an hour, then I went to my cubicle, where I proceeded to sit around for some twenty odd minutes. Then I thought to myself "Self, I should probably finishing those computers I didn't have time to yesterday." "That's an excellent idea Self, let's go do that!" That took about twenty minutes, then I came back and sat around for another hour or so. Then it was lunch time so I went to get lunch, came back to my cubicle and sat around for an hour eating. Then my boss found me some work to do so I did that, it took about twenty minutes. Then I came back and sat around some more. Then he found me a little more work to do that took thirty minutes. Then I sat at my desk for another hour, then I fell asleep for an hour. Then my boss woke me up and told me it was time to go home. I get paid $12 an hour for this. This is California's taxpayer money at work people. My job would be really boring if I didn't have internet. Help your boss with some of his work. He'll either take all the credit, feel guilty and hate you, or take all the creidt, like you and promote you (take you with him as he goes up).

Baby vs. Cobra

I can't wait for Bioshock.

But were very popular (with people of no taste, obviously), so I would bet that this new game would be like them.

Speaks volumes about Finland ...

Yes. Wisdom is highly commendable.

You will need to travel to a universe that has different laws of physics. And you may be able to type this question in there and get a response.

This is excellent news because GL will ride roughshod over the so-called SW canon with completely new characters, technical descriptions and general sources for all things SW. It will be carnage. It will be good.

MU

If you work for yourself, you can turn that extra time into an investment into yourself (study, organising, leisure, what-have-you). I went to yoga today, then did the second part of my split routine (weights training). I am not really in the mood for boot camp tonight, so I'll skip it (also my back is a little sore after all the core work in yoga and dead-lifting I did).

It's not clear whether the 1421 hypothesis is sound, though there does seem to be a lot of circumstantial evidence (including some DNA evidence). Gavin Menzies is either a very amateur historian with no idea about scientific method, or a complete quack. Certainly he has stirred up a hornet's nest of opposition, mainly from the snotty-nosed academics who don't appreciate being scooped by a civilian. The book is, though, just a huge list of evidence that he has collected, and his inductions. Even if you fault his logic, there is an enormous amount of evidence to be explained, and the best that academics seem to be able to do is nit-pick. I found it humorous that the book was released in the US as 1421: The Year China Discovered America.
