In other words, mechanically-filtered and processed urine. Yup.

Tell that to the Military Channel and their series WWII in Color, made up of color footage from World War Two. Or this footage from Nazi combat cameramen. Admittedly, the color video lacks the color intensity of the setpiece still photographs, but they provide a less artificial view of the war.

Not to mention that industrial hemp is a much better source of paper pulp than pulp timber — an acre of industrial hemp will produce four times the paper pulp produced by an acre of pulp timber, as well as the hemp fiber, which can be used to produce rope. This would allow us to convert pulp timberland back to wild

And then right behind banning knives and bats, we can ban the sale of rebar, 2x4s, walking sticks, and make picking up fallen branches illegal, too...

The concept is not new; the Germans employed Bergepanzers (recovery tanks) during WWII converted from Pzkpfw 38(t), Pzkpfw III, Pzkpfw IV, Panther, and Tiger tanks, the US converted M3 Lee hulls into the M31 Tank Recovery Vehicle (see the picture, and note the dummy cannon barrel welded to the hatch), and later

Let them add receivers to set off the IEDs when they pick up RC control signals. Just like radar, the signal can be detected from a lot further away than its useful range, so the IED would be blowing itself up before the RC vehicle even got to it. And if they made their IEDs more complex by adding signal-strength

Spending a thousand dollars on a radio-controlled truck with a camera that was used to find four IEDs and sacrificed on a fifth is pocket change compared to the medical care that would be necessary to rehabilitate the crew of a truck that hit one IED, even completely ignoring the improvement in quality-of-life those

...unless it's popping one in your mouth and crunching it up afterward. For most of us, though, that sound would be our teeth crumbling.

(1) the bicycle or motorcycle has been brought to a complete stop;

It's not the motorcyclists who weave their way up through traffic jams or at stop lights that annoy me; it's the ones who get bent out of shape and flip me off if I fail to give them enough room to split the lane between me and the car next to me when we're already driving at the speed limit, or who can't seem to

Lincoln? The man who suspended habeas corpus? Who shut down newspapers that printed stories critical of him? Who arrested newspaper editors who wrote editorials criticizing his conduct of the war? Who nationalized the nation's railroads? Who deported a sitting Senator? Who issued an edict that had absolutely no legal

I'm reminded of a story I read a couple years back about a really stupid group of drug thieves, who broke into a veterinarian's office and stole its entire supply of oxytocin. Not oxycontin, oxytocin — a drug given to induce childbirth and stimulate lactation. Contin, tocin, close enough, right?

As collex points out, it's going to be subjective no matter how many or few of them you've read (a run through the full list gave me 110 out of the 237 that I don't remember having read — I know that I've read some of Stephen King's novels, but I don't remember which ones off the top of my head, for example). So go

Considering that there were nuclear reactors two billion years ago, none of those things seem necessary. Admittedly, they only ran for a million years or so, but that's probably enough to validate the design.

Andre Norton's Breed to Come has intelligent rats, dogs, and cats, the result of genetic engineering experiments by humans.

'Single government'? *snort* Federal government, state government, county government, city government...

It does add an interesting uncertainty to the various climate models based off of analysis of tree rings, with a whole new approach to 'cherry-picking' your data...

Of course you need to keep picking up your hat!
