    Ghandi never struck me as the kind of guy who trashtalks others. Well you learn something new everyday, I suppose.
    Indeed. One wouldn't expect trash talk from practitioners of peace and Eastern meditation. On the other hand...

    The article was originally from the March 6, 1996 issue of The Onion, but the current archives at The Onion only go back as far as August of 1996, so I can't post a link to the article at its original site. It's one of my all-time favorite sports articles from The Onion, America's Finest News Source.

    This article has the worst title ever! What's the deal here? Is slashdot trying to get a ratings boost or something? This is the kind of misleading crap article title you'd expect to see on Fox News or CNN. Where are the plans???

    Okay, fine, I'll be editor for the day. (5 seconds of googling later...) Make your own Star Destroyer.

    VHF / UHF Tropospheric Ducting Forecast Maps

    These maps graphically display unstable signal areas.

    Quote from the website:

    The areas noted in the forecast have the necessary atmospheric conditions to produce tropospheric bending of UHF or VHF TV and radio waves. Tropospheric bending extends the range of stations well beyond their normal limit. Distant reception along straight line paths becomes possible..though the longer the path, the higher the Index required. The pursuit of distant stations is called "DXing".

  6. Help me remember the earlier light saber? by p3bf · · Score: 3 · on George Lucas Wields Light Saber

    Weren't there a few cheesy science-fiction movies that pre-dated Star Wars that used light sabers? I can't quite recall which, but I recall light saber duels where they were more pencil thin... something along the lines of Stella Star Crash?

    I believe Star Wars was 1977 and Star Crash was 1979, but I have a nagging memory I can't bring out into the open about one or more films predating Star Wars that used light sabers. (Parenthetically, I wonder when the script/story Copyright dates on both were, and if Star Crash had a light saber in the initial story or was it total rip off of Star Wars [which would make sense if you saw Star Crash]).

    Can anyone old enough to qualify as Bantha fodder refresh my memory? Thanks.

    p.s. I miss those Ray Harryhausen movies I saw when I was growing up. You were probably looking at Caroline Munro and forgot the rest of the movie.
