Get your fill of sci-fi, science, and mockery of stupid ideas

The ship has crescent moons on its sails, the symbol of the Islamic religion, if I'm not mistaken. Seeing as how the middle east is pretty much the seat of this religion, and the conflict is centered around there, the pic fits. It's a very tenuous connection, but the picture itself is rife with humourous potential, so only a slight connection is needed.hilaryduff wrote:Chmee is taking pictures of the iraq war?

Well, it's a subtle humour. The dissection of the joke: The ship has crescent moons on the sails, thus I label it as moslem. It is on the water, so I labeled that Lake Michigan. The people in the foreground are shooting into the air. Thus, I took a little artistic license, and poked a little fun at my own home state, by implying that Wisconsin is full of hunting-obsessed drunkards who could be distracted from defending their homes by the presence of game-animals to shoot.hilaryduff wrote:That pic doesn't have anything to do with Iraq, Wisconsin, or Lake Michigan. I don't get it.
Bleh, totally right. Chmee used to have a female in his avatar. Combine that with the fact that, to me at least, 'Chmee' is a feminine sounding name, and I tend to get his gender mixed up.Chmee is an obscure male K'zin. I assume its not a female.
Not everyone who browses this forum is an expert in all things sci-fi. I have enough of a passing knowledge to not get involved in things that are over my head, and generally not embarrass myself in the things I do get involved in.Hilaryduff wrote:Oh, you never heard of 'Chmee' before?
