small furry creature from Alpha Centauri's Comments
Applying for a job as space plumber! I would use a vanilla zero gravity unisex loo and adapt it a little for low g-conditions. Seems to be a "piecse of cake"...
A very nice example of different laws in different countries. In Austria and Germany it is completely unforbidden for a single person to escape the prison, as long he manages to do it without committing any other crime such as battery, property damage, theft or the like. And it is unforbidden since 1880..
I would be very interested in the scales... are they form a known species? may they give a hint how to enrich the diet of the idopods? How big where the scales and what does that tell about the minimum diameter of the digestive system?..
The stars of uncertain times. If it is justified to invest so much energy in preventing to be killed by travveling killmen, it sure was quite uncomfortable to live in, (not even considering the low WIFI bandwidth ;-)
I would like to disagree... My first thought was: "who designes these war machines?" In fact, the appearance of the AT-ATs may provide some menacing and scary views. Taking a close look at this weapon system... It seems just to be a piece of shit. It is awefully slow. it has a very elevated center of gravity. It it topples over, it just break to pieces, and the people inside get smashed. It must be very complicated to load and unload. In a world where energy consumption is no design restiction, you could design a small 40 Person-Bus sized heavy armored flying / hovering transport fighting vehicle. Just like a improoves Mil-Mi 24 Hind. Fast enough to achieve an element of surprise, enoufh firepower to support the ground troups. I never undestood why they did not just use the Firpower of a "Star destroyer" to just caramelize a few meters of the upper soil of the target area. The only positive aspect of this scene is that you may imagine how acient infranty man hust have felt facing attacking war elephants.
Canned laughs are the worst! Watch "my name is earl"... it is just fun to see that it is absolutely not necessarry to rely on it, Thanks for the suggestions, i will actually watch the big bang theory without the laughs...
In my country nunchucks are forbidden to make, buy, own, posess or sell it is classified as "forbidden item". The term used in the law to refer to nunchucks translates as "choking-wood"...
Chasing humans may not considered very resource effective. I presume that it inadverendly had been disturbed. So form the insect's point of view, These human things are qurite an annoying and terrifying pnenomenon... (Yes, in know sitting at home at least 100 miles from the next white feaced ground hornet nest, it is easy to take a relaxed glance at your encounter..:-)
