THE FIRST RULE OF zombie apocalypse IS, NO ONE TALKS ABOUT zombie apocalypse.

I have always called it, Mr. Fudge.

Ran Ortner is awesome! He has found a way to mix Photorealism with nature in a way that works. I want to by a Ran Ortner painting.

I picked up on this trend a few years ago, probably later then most. I don't fully understand it but I do know that some of the painters like to set up their scenes, by shooting it with a camera then paint from that. I kind of see it as a search for relevance.

I was sort of marveling at nature, that's it.

When I am swinging my bar at someones head, in the dark, it helps me make last moment adjustments to my aim so I get a good shot in. Its a little like tennis players, it helps to see the racquet, even at the last second so you can make adjustments before you hit the ball. Thankfully, people don't move that fast in the…

Look at the section where the throats come together as one. That Y section has no precedent in that species anatomy. Yet, nature put it all together, how is that possible? Is such a thing imbedded in the undifferentiated cells? Not only is that section new its complex and needs to take into account of lots of issues…

But doesn't this just make the F22 an even more exciting plane to fly? Top line fighter jocks want it a little interesting, here it is. And if they say yes and fly it I fail to put too much stock in the false concerns of Wired.

But didn't you know, weapons are bad!

In the last two wars, our enemy grounded all their planes after just a few of theirs got shot down. The physiological effect of the F22 is no less potent then that of the F15 etc. Part of the equation is to freak the other guy out, so you take an entire weapon system out of the picture, I think the F22 will do just…

So the next trend will be the rebirth of not reading? Who do we blame for that. I'm just saying, lets get ready, lets pick who is at fault now, why wait, we know we are going to point our fingers at something. Lets get this job out of the way now so we wont fumble it when we most need it.

"we made it" ? So, life is all about survival? That's it? Dog eat dog baby.....

Did ya see me! Did ya see me! I was the one that came into the top right then exited right away so that I could come back here. Gosh that was fun, a little scary...

I feel no remorse of any kind regarding this plane. What is the physiological advantage we get over ALL other countries when we bring this thing to a potential war? PRICELESS!

At its best, totally cool, but then the sun spoils it all.

Doomed? The F22 is the best fighter on the planet and will remain so for years to come. The Federal budget has grown each year regardless of the economy, 40% is money spent that we actually don't have. Just about everything in the Federal budget has not been effected in any way by the economy.

I'm an F111 fan myself.

We will be reading about the F22 for decades to come as a combat tool. All the hyper sensitivity on this web site about every issue with the F22 ignores the truth that all such systems go through such pain. The F22 is our front line fighter, its the best there is.

Right on! I just love the truth...

I am quoting the article regarding the 50 year plan for the budget. I still think this is the last fighter to have a man in it, so, they are likely to make it last a long time. I don't doubt that many will want something new in 10 years. I don't think they will get it if its a fighter with a man in it.
