The A in PETA stands for animals. I don't think they care about arachnids. Spiderman on the other hand, he definitely crossed Paul Lazarro off his "Everyone gets one" list we learned about in Family Guy.

Who was the first guy to "notice" this error? You'd think once the seat and everything is in, that's a part fo the plane that doesn't get a lot of inspection.

Also consider the fact that the planes were supposed to cost as low as $89 million a piece when the proposal was first put in. Cost over runs have driven it up over $300 mil now and it still has flaws? There's a lemon law on cars but not military planes I guess.

Funniest comment of the day

I'm the same way. I have 12 passwords at work, some need special characters, some don't. 2 I have to change every 30 days, 2 every 45 days, 2 every 60 days and 1 of them is completely random. Plus with some you can't reuse passwords but some I can if I wait a year. It's ridiculous. 1 good strong password would be…

I like how Verizon keeps on pretending the Bionic doesn't exist everytime there is a test like this.

It depends on the plane. A Predator only costs $4.2mil. You can find out the cost of all kinds of things by looking through the accident reports here. [usaf.aib.law.af.mil]

Without my cell phone I would be ronery and sadry arone.

Only for the US government can best not be good enough. We want bids for new planes every 10 years, and we'll pick the manufacturer who bribes the congressmen the best then allow unlimited cost overruns. Don't worry, there're these things called constituents that pay for everything! When the T-Virus strikes I hope…

-22 miles each way, no thanks.

Maybe it got deleted because it's not in space anymore? I don't log on to fedex.com to track packages I received last week.

When one of my friends was deployed to Afghanistan 3 years ago he trained in something like this. He said it was the cabin of a Humvee and a simulated bomb would go off somewhere around the vehicle causing it to flip one way or the other. They then had to vacate the damaged vehicle as quickly as possible. The…

Either that or for a day at least people stopped complaining about all the 4G outages this month.

IL just NW of Chicago is down. I've had intermittent 3G since 7am local time.

It just baffles me that there's a leak that causes an "air dependent system" (like a human) to shut off and there's isn't an automatic backup bottle of air or something that kicks in without the pilot having to pull a tab on it. $300 million plus of automation and nobody thinks of that? What am I doing with my life…

I'm a little confused as to why they can't get a system that works (the OBOGS in EVERY OTHER PLANE) into the F-22. Is it really that hard to take what works and apply it elsewhere? The F-35 uses landing gear from the F-18 because it works! Why develop what you don't have to??? OBOGS isn't a new system, figure it…

I'm with you on this. My netbook is the size of a tablet, yet I get the a full physical keyboard without having to pay extra. It costed me hundreds less in fact! Add in the fact that I have a 250GB hard drive so when I travel I can load it up with movies and am good to go. I have never understood the hate. I felt…

Everytime I think the bacon craze has started to die down a little someone has to bring it back.
