Is it spiders all the way down?

That's how it seems doesn't it? I suspect that next construction season will be worse than some in the recent past though since we keep dropping just below freezing, getting a bit of snow, then back up to the 40's, melting the snow, then back to below freezing expanding the cracks, in freaking December! I've lived…

The problem with the dirt is that it causes the front gear to lock up and generally collapse. When the front gear collapses, the nose hits the turf, you end up with that 'major incident' label, and generally people get hurt.

I think that this is because in the Air Force only officers can pilot planes so, the pilot training programs are officer only. However, I think that they should probably expand it so that either Warrant Officers or senior NCO's can operate drones.

I treat Minute Physics as a, "Hey look, If you liked this, or found it interesting, go learn more about it" kind of experience.

Yeah, in Detroit, MI. I get a bit of a chuckle every time I drive by this exit. The funny thing is that I see it so often that I didn't even notice until I saw it mentioned once on the internet though.

We're all spendin' most our lives, livin' in an Amish Paradise.../song

Which border is this, Kuwait?

Yeah, he copped out with the 'none that I care for' line ^_^

I'm willing to believe that. I can't blame them too much if that's the case though. Google advertised the Galaxy Nexus as being the 'first official ICS device in the US' too. Can't have that false advertising charge floating around after all ^_^

The issue is that if you are running a long range invasion in the early 1st Century CE your supply chain probably can't feed all of your troops well. So, if you capture food and drink you let your troops consume it. Tainted/booby-trapped supplies have been around since the beginning of war.

Probably, they're made to detect any hard (pun NOT intended) object outside of your skin. That's why they'd do absolutely nothing to detect an implanted bomb. I'm not exactly an expert but as soon as I heard about these scanners that's the first thing that came to mind to defeat them. But, I guess that I'm always…

I won't name the airport but, back in 2003 I forgot to pack my actual Victorinox Swiss Army Knife in my checked luggage like I was supposed to, and had done on a few flights in the past. So it was packed with my coat in my carry-on luggage. I realized it just after the bag went into the X-Ray scanner. Long story…

I...feel the need to post this link here [xkcd.com]

The only theory that I can think of that would explain the facts, other than the government version (which, by the way, I do believe...mostly) is that Bin Laden is being 'interrogated' somewhere to make sure that he doesn't have any information about any other plots against the US or its allies. I don't find that all…

Honestly, it would be funny from a distance but if they were crashing to the ground around me I'd be afraid that 'The Birds' was happening in real life.

/me shakes fist at 'process of the catch' rule >_<

Well, according to Oxford English Dictionary by way of Wikipedia, the word merkin has been around since 1617. It's strange to imagine that people used this type of 'wig' even then.

I'm going to apologize in advance but, I'm somewhat grateful that the Bears lost that one. After all, since I can see both the Bears and the Lions losing to the Packers we needed something to get us a game up on you ^_^

If he KNOWS that he's colorblind then why is he painting? I've never failed a colorblindness test but I sometimes have trouble differentiating between certain shades of red and I do NOT trust myself to paint or draw anything red without a second opinion.
