Again, in post-apoc world, you don't want to draw attention to yourself, plus there's the potential for mobility with this design. May have to break camp and head to the mountains.

It's true, sometimes efforts like these fail. Walkway Over the Hudson, anyone? But instead of spending needlessly, this was a total transformation. It has a future.

Yeah, I'd add a hand crank to that retrieving the kite thing. It wouldn't be that hard, so then you could repeat the process over and over. Just add cheap labor, or in the case of post-apocalypse, the young, and generate away! :)

But, wasn't it Mary Rogers that was actually murdered, and Marie Roget a fictional character? I was also confused as to what I was reading.

It's like something out of David Cronenberg's dreams.

Wow drstrange! That's uncanny!

Looks like my fourth grade math teacher. AHH!

I gotta agree with Barry, and the same can be said for men who suddenly, in this era, need "male enhancements" in order to keep having sex way beyond the point their body says it's over. It's the 40 year cycle, and naturally, that's all we're programmed to perform in.

The rest is just ice cream and dreams of Darth Vader costumes for Halloween.

@mu:

That is Peter Jackson at this year's ComicCon promoting District 9. Believe it, or not!

The Coroner guy comes out every few years singing his little song, and I'm always charmed with his interviews.

Congrats to Mr. Jackson for losing that weight!

Wow, Skaggs is my new hero. Never heard of him before, but what a great service he's doing. Reminds me of the Snopes article on Mr. Ed being a zebra.

It really was a letdown when the movie failed to capture one iota of the fun inherent in every page of that five part trilogy.

If you haven't experienced the brilliance yet, do yourself a favor and pick up that book immediately, and make sure you remember to bring a towel.

Oh, and here's a list of all the villains/actors/movies.

There's a lot of debate going around about the snubbing of Darth Vader and Khan. Still, a near-perfect grouping.
