Then what DID hit the Pentagon? ...(snip) The whole prospect of the wings, the very point from which the thrust was eminating, revercing direction as the plane struck seems ludicrus. There's one thought I've been mulling over recently though. You seem to know you're stuff on this Jamestox so maybe ...

(snip) This means they should have been able to find the engines. All four, that is. If what they claim in the video is true then the engine found was not even the type used in the plane in question. Flight 77 was a Boeing 757, a two engine "narrow body" airliner. I've flown in the 757 - it has 3x3...

Starting off

Doink, Just a few words of advice for you: Don't handle a firearm while you're angry - you forget safety too easily when your brain is tied up with a strong emotion. On to the main topic now: Since you're 17, any firearm you use will either have to be "signed-off" at the range rental desk by a paren...

During WW II, animal fats were collected from U.S. citizens as a contribution to the war effort; these fats contain multiple nitrogen compounds and raw glycerin that can be used in the production of explosives and smokeless powder (nitrocellulose) products. Perhaps not so oddly enough, this type of ...

First Books

Hi Doink, I did a bit of searching and came up with a good book on learning rifle shooting. It's the NRA's text for the beginning rifle shooter's course and is available at the NRA Bookstore for $6. You may want to check the library for it or as Brockthepaine suggests, ask the library to check for i...

Well, I had another talk with my dad, and later one with my mom. The one point my dad raised was an issue about money. He said that firearms and ammunition are not cheap, and I doubt that I'll be able to pay for this hobby myself. Airguns, however, are a different story. Firearms can be expensive o...

What's on the cards?

Any idea what's written on those little cards? That is what the children sing at the "reveal" of the card at the end of each segment: "Pythagoria Switch" It's the name of the Japanese children's show these come from. According to Steven denBeste, it comes out as "ピタゴラスイッチ pitagora sui-chi" (hat-tip...

1000 quatloos that Rico da Barbarian takes at least 50% damage.

150 quatloos that the full party survives the encounter with the goblins.

2000 quatloos that Ralph throws us a heckuva curveball in the plot.

Good Thinking...

Has anyone considered that this tiny little film COULD make Nip a big star? :D And more power to him if it does, I say!! Of course, Hollywood Fatso will use the line that's as old as Hollywood itself: "You'll never work in this town AGAIN!" "....until they need you again..." (from Hooper - another ...

Nip and SAG

Nip would almost have to be a card-carrying SAG member, since he's done pro "onscreen appearance" time (and probably has film "credits") as a stuntman and now is acting as the film's lead. Also, since Hollywood Fatso's already brought in a lawyer, you can pretty well bet that Nip's contract has all ...

You want a REAL "OH, Crap" thought? There's also this little gem of info that nobody's brought up yet: what if the rat-king learned from the pseudo-wight's previous encounter with Quentyn? After all, Q has already stated that the rat-king's intelligence is NOT to be underestimated. There's a good ch...
