Ha! Good thing it didn't think you were trying to mark your territory right next to it. :)

Ah, you're a much better source of information on the fauna than I am — I just watch/read a lot of nature stuff. :P I do have a couple friends from Zambia who have told me some interesting wildlife stories when they visited the preserves.

Interestingly, there is a small population of American crocodiles in Florida, which I presume would share a similar coloration to the one holding that pig. However, the red soil and thorny scrub bushes in the background do seem to indicate a location in the African continent (or alternately, it may be a saltwater…

Murilee, how I've missed your sexy, sexy writing.

63 thousand for a paint job? Just how many baby unicorns did they have to puree to make that formula?

Judging from the amount of work ImageSpace is putting into the various physics models for tire wear, suspension, weather, etc., I'd wager that Rfactor 2 is pretty damned realistic.

IIRC, the semi and motorcycle jump were done for real — no CGI (the T1000 walking out of the fire was CG, of course.) For the bike jump, the motorcycle was suspended on a double-wire harness to minimize the impact with the ground (kind of like the wire work in Crouching Tiger, but with vehicles) and the wires were…

"Single-digit constipation is a helluva thing."

"Shit man... I got nothing."

PR: "OK, the engineers are ready to take some more questions over the air. Oh, there's one now. Your name, sir?"

IIRC, that lot is so swanky that it's sometimes rented out for wedding receptions.

John Travolta's house in Ocala, FL. Kinda hard to beat a private parking lot for your own personal 707.

McMurdo station parking lot. Pretty damned cool, if you ask me.

Do tell — can you tell what aircraft might have been um, involved with a er, person you don't know?

Speaking of late 80's... I'll hit you with one more superclassic.

Good lord... I can't even remember how long ago I last heard this. Must have been late 80's.

One slightly more recent one (from '05)... Welcome to Jamrock, by Damian Marley.

This one goes back a lot further ('93, to be exact.) I guess I'm in a kinda mellow mood this morning with my music. Tony Rebel.

Did someone say dancehall? :D

True, I hadn't considered the orbital velocity issue. I wonder just how much energy you would need to slow to a safe re-entry speed. I assume that parachutes or aero structures won't work, as there isn't enough atmosphere at that altitude for them to work in.
