There are 20 active aircraft carriers in the world, 11 are controlled by us, with 1 about to be finished and 2 more planned @ $14 billion for the first one (R&D), and $9 Billion each for the other 2.

The slang of the kids these days isn't rad to the max. Not. At. All.

if it's any consolation: no amount of hazing, praying, use of magnets will help the Mariners.

oh look... touch whiz... "great."

Ouch... that's about a $160K avg cost per truck.

Seriously? "Massive?" It's APS-C...

Neat, BUT what I don't like:

but then there will be shark-eagles fighting them instead of human-mutt things.

I know right? Total waste of tax payer money- they could have gotten something WAY cheaper in Brooklyn.

Yeah- that's an understatement.

Ah yes, before he got the Michael Jackson surgery to do those Harry Potter movies.

what up buzz kill

+1 to you... now I just want to go to bed.

GO-BOT FAN BOY!

OH MAN... I haven't seen that movie in a long time.
