11XHooah Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Oh, Ha Ha Ha I had a feeling my post would bring about Bush bashing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cop it sweet, Mr Hooah. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I sure will :D War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. --John Stewart Mill-- "Victory was for those willing to fight and die. Intellectuals could theorize until they sucked their thumbs right off their hands, but in the real world, power still flowed from the barrel of a gun.....you could send in your bleeding-heart do-gooders, you could hold hands and pray and sing hootenanny songs and invoke the great gods CNN and BBC, but the only way to finally open the roads to the big-eyed babies was to show up with more guns." --Black Hawk Down-- MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=44500195
Bytor Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 A friend told me once that this was very implausible: Earth bacteria wouldn't recognise Martians as 'edible' (too alien) and would just ignore them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah I know much of the story doesn't make sense in scientific terms, for example, the gravity on Earth is more than twice as strong than on Mars. Martians would be crushed. I also read that there will be another movie released in the next year or two which is essentially the Jeff Wayne album brought to screen. I don't remember where I read it, though. Has anyone else heard of this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anymore information you could dig up on this would be very much appreciated "I tried the most potent Noise Amplification spell once upon a time. Mavellous spell. I could hear the birds speaking to one another in trees over the horizon, I could hear the rustlings as the clouds rubbed against each other in the sky. I could hear the sound a rainbow makes as it arches it's back over the world. Then a dog barked behind me and I burst my left eardrum."

metadigital Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 I think that's pretty unlikely, considering it isn't mentioned in the IMDb. All they have is: Speilberg's. (They genereally list all upcoming films, especially if its in preproduction ... (also $48 million is not a lot of money for a modern film; a "transporter" scenes in ST costs about 50k per person).

Child of Flame Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 Feel free to make your own parody. I very quickly realised that I know far too few words of the street lexicon to complete it. :"> I suppose it would be easier to do it in 1337 ... Then again, I'll do it later ... No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nobody would've been believin' back in the day dat our hood was bein' eyed by poindexters smarter than any of us homies, but shot down by a gat just as easy as us; we went around frontin', while they watched us like lab rats, like brothas be watchin' the hos. We be content to sit back and drink a forty, light up some bud, constantly frontin, playin' the game, we were kings of our hood. It be possible the hos do the same thang. None of us be thinkin' 'bout the other planets as rival gangs, or we thought 'bout them as pedestrians, unlikely to call the 5-0 on us. It be hard to get in the head of the homies in the good old days. Most of us brothas figured there be other homies on Mars, panzy b!tches who could be exploited maybe. But so far away, the poindexters be makin' plots against our hood, and wantin' to be startin' an all out gang war. This was a rush job. I once translated The Third Act of Antigone into 'Street' vernacular for an English assignment. That was weird, and even more fun because part of the assignment was we were to act it out.

I never clicked the link if it did not go to the old one from the sixties, with the black guy, and the white hippy students, in England. I haven't been called poindexter since I was twelve. Poindexter seemed to be the best word from the 'street' vernacular to fit someone vastly intelligent.

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 12, 2005 Author Posted June 12, 2005 I saw a photo of Willi Bittrich(commander of the 2nd Waffen-SS Panzerdivision) having dinner with another general in the 1960's and he was still wearing his Knight's cross! :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Were they in Bolivia ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, I think they were in Munich :D Strange proof of the fact that Nazis were a lot more "a thing of the past" back then than they are now.

Drakron Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 The Iron Cross was not a Nazi award, it was a military award. Also take a look at this Luftwaffe F-4F http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/galle...c12-2445-12.htm Also that Iron Cross that Hitler used, that was a 2st class Iron Cross that he was awarded in WW I.

metadigital Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 Cool: ... West Germany permitted its military veterans to continue to wear the Iron Cross, however German law prohibits the wearing of an Iron Cross with a swastika. In 1957 the German government issued new Iron Crosses to World War II veterans, altered to display an Oak Leaf Cluster, instead of a swastika, in the center of the medal. ...
