Endymion53 writes "The TMRC at MIT may be the best known model railroad layout because of its role in the formation of hacking culture, but railroad uber-enthusiast Jack Burgess has built himself a pretty enviable layout, that does its best to capture the look and route of an old rail line that went to Yosemite National park, called the Yosemite Valley railroad. I was tempted to make some crass remarks about having too much time on one's hands, but frankly, the whole thing looks just awesome. He's been working on this thing since 1981."

I, for one, welcome our new model-railroad-building overlords...

Such statements deserve all the anonymity they can get...

And to a Slashbot, it's hysterical

Like At no time did the US lend support to him, or his organization is hysterical?

Like this picture of Saddam Hussein shaking hands with Donald Rumsfeld.

Or maybe this article in the Dallas Morning News of all places: Saddam Hussein: former ally, future defendant

Or this story printed in California, Mossouri, Oklahoma, and Conneticut.

I know this is offtopic but the other discussion is archived.

PS: I can prove Clinton never cheated with Monica. A google search for "Clinton cheated on his wife by getting a bj" turns up zilch.
