"Carrier based jets were less than an hour away" Yes because every situation can be vastly improved by an airstrike with 1,000-pound MK 83/BLU-110 bombs in a densely populated city.

Yes you can watch the whole movie for free as it is in the public domain.

Pretty much in agreement here. A beautiful movie, excellent casting, great pacing, gorgeous visuals.

Yes he has been to the US several times, but he has also been to Mexico, France, Italy, the Antarctic, Tibet, and Palestine. With all of time and space to explore you wouldn't want to visit the same places too many times.

For years I have done a variation on this where I get the person to tell me the top card on the deck without them looking.

Not at all true. I have raised many children, I'm sure many more than Ms. Moore, (5 biological, 2 adopted, 4 fosters, and now 1 grandchild), and you try your best not to lie to them if you want them to respect you. You do your best to explain things in terms they will understand, but if you lie they will find out…

I thought of the same thing.

Just this morning my wife and I were talking about the Doctor and death tolls. We had just watched Tomb of the Cybermen for the first time in years and it prompted our discussion. It is not uncommon in Dr Who stories for everyone but the Doctor and his companions to die. It is also not uncommon for the Doctor to visit…

I think I will commandeer my automobile this evening in order to make the journey home.

It is in part Newtonian physics, any action has an equal and opposite reaction. The force that propels the balls, sound, and gas out of the top of the can is equal to to force applied in the opposite direction. Doing some off the cuff calculations the mass of the can, water and balls is about 6 kg, the can jumps…

Did you know that after raising seven toddlers I would gladly do it again. And that nothing in the world makes me happier than a smile and a hug from a dirty faced, sticky handed, stained clothes toddler.

It is only so that you can see the face. If you have ever look out a window from a brightly lit area to a darker one you will see the light reflected back to you.

Few people today know that the arsenic compound Salversan was used to treat syphilis, and for 40 years it and Neosalversan were the only way to cure the disease. Both had such sever side effects (and were very poisonous) that the course of treatment took years as they had to slowly increase the dosage so the patient…

I have been wondering for over 30 years why we haven't poured massive amounts of money into waste to fuel technologies. The possibility of return on investment is close to infinite. Fossil fuels and nuclear power have their limits on resources but as long as there are humans we will produce waste.

Dude I'm a grandfather.

I was talking to my son about this just last week. I feel as though a real change came across this country in 2000-2001 that really lead to a cultural stagnation. Yes we have some pretty impressive technology now but we how do we use it? Two people with laptops and cell phones can do more today than an office of 40…

Sadly this too is true.

Other people have done in with much more style:

Like all of these:

I have a problem with the way I see many men treat women. I have been of the opinion that women should be treated as you would want your own mother/sister/daughter treated. This is not feminism but common courtesy.
