No, this will never be built.

Idea! - mechanical keyboard ipad attachment! Put the pad in landscape, boot up the keyboard. Activate typewriter, and its mechanical arms (with electrically conductive pads on the end) type on the pad, producing words.

Welp, this scares me so bad that I feel my chest seizing up. Although if I do expire from a fear-induced heart-attack, it would probably be better than living through whatever horrible shit comes around as part of a climate change related collapse of civilization.

Clearly the strangest tank ever built was the M-50 Ontos. Six guns. When they shot it, it sounded like God farting into a megaphone. Also, Vietcong troops were known to break and run at the mere sight of one. Frankly, I would too.

Its an autonomous province of China with its own democratically elected government. It has fealty to China, but mostly in terms of paying tax revenue. In terms of country-dom, it is as near as dammit.

Oh bugger, can someone please tell me what this number is when applied to the lifespan of the human species, and when I should start buying guns and canned food?

What about... a Jar-Jar in a jar

Ever look under the hood of a Corvette... on weeeeeeeeeeeed?

If you were trying to make me feel better, you failed. Considering what you said, however, I still rank Russia's odds of being likely to start a nuclear war to be a bit greater than own, at least based on our current head of state versus theirs. This is based only on gut feelings, so [citation needed] and that.

Something about a single vessel containing enough nukes to start 12 nuclear winters just scares the ever-loving shit out of me. Not to mention the nuclear depth charge. How many armageddons does one boat need?

Every time I see something in bold here, I think "wow, how much money can I make working from home, once again?"

You all seriously got my hopes up for an *actual* quantum bullet.

My steam username is APartyofOne - supposed to connote the 90's army commercials, but people mostly just think I'm lonely at dinner.

Hello!

And in less than two years of continuity, Anakin will kill them all.

Fair enough - I suppose that there is a certain amount of marketing hype which suggests that this is the case, and I bought into it.

If this is a tablet which is actually powerful enough to emulate the original Xbox 360 hardware and run Halo 4, I'll play the heck out of it (also, I'm fairly sure that this is technically possible - isn't the Xperia Play basically equivalent to a PS3?).

I think we may have already slipped down that slope.

Surprised the Churel hasn't shown up on Supernatural.

"Hey baby, let's swap rocks."
