They just have the bigger "assets", no way of stopping them.

Did not know they made trailers back then, which showed the whole story. Always thought that was a new thing. No wonder the film did not make much money in the theaters.

Polskie Stowarzyszenie Walk Rycerskich. They do duells (aka 1 on 1 with sword and board) and 5 vs 5. First place in the duells gets you 1500 zł, about 500 USD, or a months pay for a worker. One season consists of 4 tournements during the summer. The official sponsor is an online sword shop. They also do local events…

"La Poupée sanglante" by Gaston Leroux of the same year was better IMHO. As was "The Ablest Man in the World" by Edward Page Mitchell from 1879 (playing with brain implants and uplaods). But hey, those are not getting sold on amazon now, so we do not get any mammon out of it. Sorry I get way too little sleep.

She likes to be in good shows which are a little bit more intelligent. Intelligent shows get cancelled waaaaay faster then stupid shows. The cause and effect are different. She is not the reason those shows got cancelled, she is drawn to shows which have a difficult stand as it is. To be honest some of the shows would…

The big difference between Wisconsin and the amazon jungle: In Wisconsin there is a thick layer of fertile earth, which will not be washed away with the first rain. In the amazon jungle there is a very, very, very shallow layer of fertile earth, which will wash away with the first rain, if you cut down the trees which…

In most countries, this would be the end of many careers, not just his. But hey, it's America, the United States of I don't give a fuck. That is why americans feel their armed forces to be the most powerfull in the world, while they are only huge expenisve pile of crazy.

I still have a CFL bulp from 1996, works fine. It is the main light in my thrid appartment.

It is neither slow nor loud. In East Germany there were steam powered trains with a travelling speed of 160km/h up into the 70'. South Africa has been using modernized versions deep into the 90'. With modern technlogy and materials we could make steam engines even more effective, but no one had any incentive to invest…

He "has written about a solar eclipse" as the first in Nigeria. Proven "acid raid" does not cause cancer, in under a year. He writes for the private paper of a former local governor. This paper has very high standards, like showing other politicians naked. His articles include an HIV/AIDS cure with Aluminum-Magnesium…

Nu-Trek is nothing like DS9. Even the villains in DS9 had their motives, had layers to them and developed over time. Nu-Trek is like a sixteen year old on meth when in comes to motives and personal growth. But what do you expect from someone who did not even LIKE Star Trek before getting the job.

Most of WWI was a meat grinder, with loooong waiting inbetween. No single soldier had even the chance to make a difference. You had the air forces, which had their share of games. But on the ground a single soldier was nothing. Most men died never seeing the enemy. Artillery fire, chemical weapons, snipers, disease…

So you have a predilection to porn instead of sex? As the comic shows, the point of the experiment was never to prove what would happen, but how some things are completely different in the scope of time. Also in our digital age, people forget that to witness something first hand is way better then watching a recording…

You mean the same brits who did not want to allow the german reunification in 1990 and had to be forced to it by the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R.? Because they were afraid of an economicly even more powerfull Germany? (Which could not be further from the truth, as the reunification almost bankrupted the germans. But on…

Correction for Oradour-sur-Glane, France. Twenty-five people of whom we know sourvived the massacre, including five man who escaped the shooting and Marguerite Rouffanche. She was the only sourvivor from the church, in which women and children were closed in and the building set on fire. Other people escaped before…

Yeah, that is how I feel about great movies. "Is it over already? Did it not just started?"

Even in other States or countries, shooting him would probably be justifiable homicide. The real legal trouble could start, if he would have sourvived the shooting, because he could file a civil case, which are often totaly, for the lack of a legal word, bonkers and expensive.
