I'd like to add a "The Company" series to this. The series is by Kage Baker, starting with "In the Garden of Iden" and ending with "Nell Gwynne's On Land and At Sea." This is eight books altogether.

It is now speculated that Tutankhamun was run down by a chariot while in a kneeling position. The entire left side of his rib-cage is missing and a wound to the knee lines up with the missing ribs only if he were in a kneeling position. Current thinking is that the narrow chariot wheel struck him in the chest,…

There are cases of soldiers of those times surviving horrific wounds. I read of one instance where a "king's man" took a sword stroke to the fact that completely cleaved his jaw. The wound was dressed with heated bees wax (apparently a common treatment) and this fellow survived and went on to fight a few more battled…

Why would they deny your right to total control of your own body? Why would the attempt to bring religion into the classroom? Why would they continue to labor under the assumption that skin color, somehow, makes one person better than another?

Physics are a bitch.

Cute females saved this mash-up, of course!

Lately all of the "weather girls" (WOMEN) in Southern California are quite curvy. Makes me suspicious or alternatively chagrined not to have majored in meteorology.

Google. You might try google. I found her in about a second and a half. Julya, believe it or not, is a much more common name than might be apparent.

Even if only half of what Sprey contends is true, that's more than enough to declare that the damned thing is just too expensive.

Which begs the question. Will the next "fifth generation" fighter's cost constitute the entire national debt? Think people.

Yet Rogoway never address the one most relevant item. That being cost.

Wars have been lost over financing. Think about that.

All well and good, but for some reason (not unknown) you failed to address cost. Sprey is correct; this is a turkey. It is past time to stick a fork in it and call "done."

From the video, not the GIF, I got the impression that two cylinders fire at once, on opposites of the "block."

Actually, I think the English are far more "blood-thirsty" in their portrayal of "mayhem" on film.

If anything is true it is that Americans (the United State of America) are unrealistic in their representations of torture and mayhem. An actual gunshot wound is nowhere near as dramatic as what is seen on screen.

This movie, "Children of Men," never got the wide-spread attention it so richly deserved. I view it at least once a year.

Non-sequitur.

Reading for comprehension really does count. You may want to review point two (2) a bit more carefully and perhaps slowly.

That is the most succinct expression of homeopathy I've seen.

Stop staring in the mirror.

I won't live that much longer, but it is already happening. So yes, in my lifetime.

It's the phrase itself, not the sentiment. Might as well say "have a nice day," like a billion other people.

It was indeed. Many of the things we now now to be dangerous to the environment were thought to be innocuous at that time. Latex is an excellent example. It is, after all, the sap from trees. What could be more environmentally friendly than sap?
