I feel compelled to observe that it very much serves the interests of Evil to make compelling arguments concerning its own nonexistance. Or to put it another way (And paraphrase Verbal Kent who was himself quoting Voltaire, I think..?) The greatest trick the Dark Side ever pulled was convincing the ...

Wouldnt the fact that the Force spontaneously acted to concieve Anakin (as the one who would restore its balance) seem to imply a conciousness on some level ?

The Dark Side , at least according to the Lucas audio commentary, is stronger. An argument could be made that the proof is in the pudding, however: ultimately, it is the Light which prevails overall, thus demonstrating its superiority. Personally, I believe that Vader found the right button to push ...

*chuckles* Falcon, if you weren't so busy trying to appear self-righteous, you might actually have caught the sarcasm. As it is, I thank you for providing me with amusement as I start my day. As for the rest of the "drivel" which you didnt bother to try to refute (because you cant, and wou...

I don't believe in Christmas and I don't give or get presents over said holiday. Every present I have ever gotten from my parents I knew where it came from because I usually helped them pick it out and watched them buy it, or was given cash with which I bought my own present. You profess to be Chri...

Any idea as to range ?

Anybody have any information as to the range/towing capacity (I guess) of a Star Destroyer's main tractor beam emitters? A friend of mine asked me and I honestly had no idea what to tell him.Any help would be appreciated.

I loved tabletop battletech (this was back in the day before the computer game series), although we always used mniatures and crafted our own terrain. Its amazing the landscapes you can build using two 4x8 sawhorse tables and some styrofoam terrain pieces.

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods: On Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. On a bar of Dial soap: Directi...

Here are some "actual maintenance complaints" submitted by US Air Force pilots and the replies from the maintenance crews. (P) = problem; (S) = solution. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (P) Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. (S)...

And the Skies opened, and the Seven Thunders Thundered , and in the final screaming moments of the bewildered troll's life Darth Wong intoned thus: "He's a bit like Darkstar that way; he claims to have superior knowledge and superior skills, he claims that I'm the one using all of the cheesy d...

*finds it amusing that this thread has deviated into a comparative discussion of the definitions of "toilet" *

*lol* six turbolasers short.. I'll pass that right along.

Heh, I suggested adding more Imperial ships to the mix flying close escort to the Executor, but computer limitations wouldn't allow it (read: this pic crashed his comp bhudda knows how many times just getting it to this stage) Still and all, I just love the sight of sooo many turbolasers ...

I never vouched for its technical accuracy, I just thought it was a cool pic.

I should say that this is not my handiwork, a friend of mine put it together and was kind enough to let me share it with everybody. Thanks Steve.

There we go. Much better.

And in a rare piece of recovered sensor footage, we get a glimpse of the final moments of their lives....

I have an Australian Shepherd who is about the best and most loyal friend I've ever had. (Joey has never, ever let me down. Never told me a fib, always ready to play, knows me well enough to know when I want to be left alone.Then again, none of my human friends have ever had an "accident" ...

And this one sums up Darkstar and those like him perfectly :





Edit again: HA. There we go.

I love that expression

Using information I found on the internet, which gave the weight of the depleted uranium core of the shell at roughly .60 pounds (which translates to roughly .27 kg mass), and the gun's muzzle velocity at 3325 ft/s (roughly 1013 m/s), I worked the muzzle kinetic energy of the round out to be 1.4x10...

*lol* What's Sagan's line? "There's a fire breathing dragon in my garage" "Really ? But I can't see it." "Well, its invisible." *Waves arms about* "Well, I can't feel it either." "Well, its incorporeal , so you can't" "Well... Ok, I don't hear a...

The serial killer?? Nah doesn't fit, serial killers don't use guns.

Not quite true: David Berkowitz used a .44 magnum.

Falwell and his like have been demonizing America's opponent du jour since the Soviet era. Now the target happens to be Islam, and I am not a bit surprised to see the very same bilous hate-mongering horseshit that he's beeen spouting for years redirected to it.I grew up in a Southern Baptist church,...
