Would you?

I get kind of a Peter Max vibe from that moth.

Wow, that cobbled-up jetboat is amazing ... a rain barrel, a gas-powered pump, some PVC pipes and a McGuyvered bow ... I wonder how he steers it? Looks like bicycle handlebars ... a bow rudder, maybe? Or perhaps he can vary the thrust between port and starboard nacelles? Just wow.

Agreed, Logan's Run is a classic, although their dome city doesn't really count as a "prison." Still, thanks for the opportunity to post a picture of Jenny Agutter.

As others have pointed out, the term was used accurately and without the cultural overtones you suggest, but heck, that was one damnfine snark, that was. Keep'em coming!

I still get sad when I see this character. Such a sudden and inevitable betrayal.

Scientists in Tokyo develop a borderline miraculous hands-free control system ... and use it to make their furries more lifelike.

SPOILER:

Pretty cool, except there was a second there with Snow in armor. WTF?

Willard? Behave yourself!

Really amazing footage, and thank you for sharing this! Watching the falls, all I could think of was the lesson I had to learn about ice skating ... if you are fall, fall. Don't try to correct or save the fall or it will be worse.

Given that we have already overpopulated the globe (viz loss of genetic diversity, particularly in the higher energy niches, depletion of resources and deterioration of the environment) a decrease in the rate of increase is not gonna cut it; in fact, it just an indication that we are approaching truly toxic levels of…

While I agree that it is unlikely it will ever become feasible to move any significant number of people into space, it probably will (if we continue to develop the technology) be feasible to bring greater resources (both material and energy) to the planet.

One way to look at our planet is as a sealed system. If you increase the demands from one ecological niche (say, bipedal primates with opposable thumbs), then other niches in the system must, perforce, surrender some of their energy. Until we find away to pump more resources into our system, we can either cease…

Try World of Tanks, a FTP/FPS/RPG/MMO game with a wide variety of tanks. Not Abrams, yet, but Shermans, Pershings, Lees, as well as Tigers, Panthers, Soviet tanks and coming soon, French and British tanks. You may like it.

Incal, not Locnar? I am so confused!

You left out "The Invaders", but I guess there is that whole "human" part that gives a bye. Remember the lessons from this docudrama of the 1960s ... if someone can't bend their pinky, shoot them immediately. No worries about the bodies, though (see 0:26 in this clip).

That's the part of the Shire where the Stoors live, of course. In addition to being somewhat larger and slower than most other Hobbits, Stoors are color-blind.

Thanks. You are correct in pointing out the missing verb. It should be "to implode." Feel free to be a trend setter.
