This has been found before, in Alaska, in 1951. Marshal Dillon was encased in ice nearby.

In the 1970s, Honda had an in-line six cylinder, 400 cc motorcycle. Not an 8, but still pretty cool. The individual cylinders were like shot glasses.

Ningauble and Sheelba disagree.

Well, thinking back, I believe there were a lot of oil well fires in the northern part of that region around that time, and the dense clouds could have affected weather patterns. The Red Sea is fairly shallow, as seas go, and any change in cloud cover could have an effect.

I am not being contrarian (I swear) but personally, I always felt Iron Man was 2/3rds of a great movie ... wonderfully crafted second to second, right up until he returns from his first mission in Afghaniraq.

Sounds like the Frank Herbert backstory to Dune, where the Robots dominated humanity, until the Butlerian Jihad succeeded. The subsequent prohibitions on machines that emulate human thought ultimately led to the development of the Mentat training.

Why is that?

Yes, yes you are correct.

Okay. But the operator chirping at you during combat would get old pretty quick, I think.

Agreed. That is one seriously special helmet he's rockin' there.

Aaaand ... since the series was a financial success, expect the re-boot to start casting about next month.

Good list. About all I can recall of Outlaw Star is the magic pistol with specialized ammo that the hero Lucky carried, and the Galactic Leyline maguffin. Perhaps I should watch it again ... I remember being impressed by the world-building, but somewhat distressed by the apparently shifting nature of some of the…

I was wondering for a moment, but then I realized that "opening a can of bread pudding" is not as scatalogical as "extruding a brown load from an orifice" and would have obviated the poopy joke.

Beat me to it, you did! Jack my rates for 3D, will they. I am so steamed, I may be delicious in 3 minutes.

With some baked beans and a rasher of bacon ... *drool*

Nothing new. I've been loving bread in a can for half a century, and it was old when I discovered it ... in New England.

The leather is definitely anachronistic. The seams are rolled for one thing. And then there's the zipper!

The list would be shorter if you were to catalog the supers who weren't nuts. Iron Man is an alky, Captain America suffers from monomania, Wolverine has rage issues, Ghost Rider is, well, Nick Cage.

I am glad they are avoiding the "is it a bat or is it a throat" question.

Ew.
