Maybe they just forgot, and Romero saw this and was like “hah oh yeah!”.

Why in God’s name was this wretched execrence given any kind of bond at all?? HE SHOT MULTIPLE WOMEN AND DID SO WHILE OUT ON BOND FOR SHOOTING SOMEONE.

Wait. If a woman's only job is to give birth to baby boys, then how would the world repopulate itself after the regular handmaids die off? Guy needs to learn sex ed. 

Ken Lobb, who was a member of Nintendo of America’s fabled “Treehouse” staff during the late SNES/early N64 eras. (It’s still referred to in some places - I want to say in the instruction manual - as the “Spyder,” which made me wonder if there was a secret gun in the game for ages.)

The phrase of my generation.

This article is bullshit. Literally nobody has ever been “blasted” with a Klobb. “Missed by” a Klobb often, “tickled” occasionally.

Thank you, and I’m totally not getting tears. Nope. Not happening

I think we all need this:

It was a cake. A cake for the whole squadron

The Blackbird is the fastest aircraft that will ever be built bc aerospace tech hit its absolute pinnacle in the 1960s.

True, but they where heading straight towards eachother so it would have been a takedown, both the US and Swedish airforce concluded as much, that’s what the fuzz is about, nobody else had achieved that before.
Rumor has it that the SR-71 pilots sent the Viggen Pilot a Postcard congratulating him.

You think wrong. It’s absolutely mind-boggling how much it cost to run an SR-71 (which was, of course, why nobody is banging down the door to build a replacement for it). Running a single SR-71 cost about as much per day as running an entire carrier strike group during the Vietnam War.

It was a bad ass-spy plane. Way too high to see ANY asses.

When I was in engineering school in the 80s we were taught how to use a slide rule and the design and building of the SR-71 was used as a case study in their usage.

A slide rule is still a mystery to me...

I did computer programming for this thing for four years back in the 80s. An absolutely incredible machine...and it’s published performance records weren’t near what it could actually do.

Andrew, your efforts to draw more page views to the Ultimate Ground Speed Check have been noted.

I’m looking forward to the futuristic reinterpretation of the “haynes manual for military things you can’t buy” genre:

Nice! Does it recommend synthetic oil or is standard oil just fine?

My dad was a collegiate aero engineer when this thing came out and he always likes to remind me the entire thing was designed -- basically -- with pencils and slide rules. Yet it still holds countless records and there are so many elements of it that just couldn’t have been done any better, even with advanced computer
