    RTGs don't need steam. They work using the theroelectric effect - which you can demonstrate using a copper wire wrapped around a steel nail, connect the assembly to a milliammeter and fire a hot (blue) flame at it.

    because "they" are already talking about reducing the human population to 500 million by 2050.
    A paper came out just today talking about an immediate solution to dealing with two billion: insinuating live pathogens into vaccines (which they already do); now they're talking about inserting ebola genetic material into live influenza, engineering an AIRBORNE, HIGLY VIRULENT and 70% FATAL chimera which will absolutely solidify our position as the most self-destructive species ever to have occupied the universe. Influbola would encircle the planet in a WEEK. 70% of 2 billion (assuming ~30% infection rate which is being fairly generous considering we're talking about flu here) is 1.4 billion. Increase fatality rate for such as food and medical status of the population. "They" want us sick so it's easier to kill us. Get rid of medical services and lower the nutritional value of food, make it illegal to grow your own (as many places have now done), and you have a recipe for disaster. Add influbola and simmer.

    it was filmed, with not a giant slug but a slightly overweight guy wearing (among other things) animal furs. It was cut because GL had formed the idea of Jabba being the giant slug for Jedi but he didn't want to reshoot the scene, so it was simply cut. It wasn't reshot for the special editions either, Jabba was CGI'd in and when Solo walks around behind him... his avatar is soapboxed to make it appear as if he's standing on the Hutt's tail.

    MSF operate outside of any sort of Government backing or support (logistical or security-wise) for the simple reason that they deliberately put themselves into war zones to not only aid civilians, they also (in)advertantly aid the enemy (whoever the enemy-du-jour is).
