I'm nearly halfway through Season 1 of the TV series Dark Skies. Boy, did I have a huge misconception about this series back in the 90's. This is a great show and I like how they fit in each episode with the history of America back in the 1940's, 50's, 60s, etc. Especially with JFK and RFK.

Editing Technique
I was thinking the same thing as well.

^ The guy who did the video says it was good old Stop Motion.

Hell yeah!
There's already a laser on the International Space Station. Although not quite like the one below. Still would be cool to see something like this just the same.

Hell yeah!
^ You still have to wonder why NASA, the astronauts, and with the Apollo missions that they didn't declare there's water on the moon sooner. Like 30-40 years ago.

Life on Mars
You could taste the dust when you were outside. I don't suffer from asthma but a couple of work colleagues found it unbearable and the boss called a sickie. I did read a news article that a few birds died from the dust a couple of days ago, but I can't find the link. Fortunately, our cats were inside when this happened.

It took India's first probe and 30 years later to find water on the Moon. So what did NASA and the astronauts do when they were on the moon 30 years ago?

What you did today
I woke up today on . Not my video. But it sure was weird looking at it 5.30am this morning. A shame I didn't take photos along the beach. The g/f was like what's going on? Was very eerie.

Money/Power vs. Appearance - Which is really the most shallow?
Depends on the partner. In my experience, generally the wealthy partner wants you to be more than what you are now. They want you to be 'successful' in some way and want to show you off to their wealthy friends. The partner may help you be successful which means 'work'. And when I say work, you are expected to work hard to be successful. No laying back and taking it easy, playing computer games, reading comic books or other 'kids' stuff. If you read something, it's got to be something about business. If you're surfing the internet, it's got to be something about business. etc. That's why you generally see rich people go out with other rich people.

Internet speed
Surfing the internet is non-existant. Had three computers downloading hogging all the bandwidth and all I heard from the g/f was 'ARE YOU DOWNLOADING??? YOUR STUPIDITY IS GOING TO KILL ME!!''

Americans set to get standardised/universal healthcare
The hospital is doing what it

Americans set to get standardised/universal healthcare
I'm not sure how it works in the U.S. If a person in the U.S. has a car accident and are near death and unconscious, they don't have health insurance but are taken to a hospital for life saving surgery, treatment and rehabilitation. I'm guessing that person is going to have a huge bill to pay? Isn't the hospital taking financial advantage of that person as the person has no say in whether they want treatment? Faced with a million dollar bill or death, maybe that person would have preferred being dead? Or in the above scenario, does the hospital check whether the person has health insurance first and if they don't, they turn the critically injured person away?

Obviously going by that graph, the U.S. is right and everybody else is wrong.

Reminder to you guys about Marxism
I found this link to be an interesting read about Marxism explaining the Financial Crisis.

The girl that never ages.
Maybe nature is trying to do away with the normal human chromosome and something new is happening. Isn't that what evolution is about? Mutation and starting a new species...
-
The girl that never ages.
The next step in human evolution or Connor McLeod and the Highlander movies are really documentaries.

Unit 731
I liked how this topic somehow segued from Unit 731 and Biological weapons development to Communism and Capitalism.

Creative problem solving fail
Obviously, Thanos was reading too many Marvel comics and thought he was some master villian.

Unit 731
