Putting that another way: If you examine the scene of an explosion and find arms, legs, a head and red goo, it's the signature of a person who was in his right mind from his perspective.
The wife and I were standing outside Buckingham Palace one day waiting for the Changing of the Guard and making idle chitchat with a French lady next to us (SWMBO fluently, moi haltingly) when a group of teenagers came by, hooting, catcalling, playing grabass and generally acting like teenagers. She looked down her nose at them at first; then when they got close and she heard them speaking French she blasted them. "VOUS ETES FRANCAIS! HONTE A VOUS!"
Actually there is such a thing as an internal combustion Stirling engine. The British military deployed a portable generator set during WW2 that used one, and the google will disclose a few more. Obviously not much good in space, of course.
Those pilots are about a third of the officers, and the officers are most of the college graduates. The career path for enlisted personnel does not include flying airplanes.
Newsweek addressed that notion in an article 30-odd years ago on a subject I don't remember, except that someone had written that. The article speculated on what an editorial might have said in 1935:
"Germans see Hitler as the charismatic, dedicated leader who can guide them out of poverty and despair into a new age of security and pride in their heritage. Americans see him as possibly destabilizing. The truth, as always, is somewhere in between."
The Selective Service System is still in the law. A "draft" is not in effect, and it's not just a signature away: it's an act of Congress away, Jack. You can look these things up.
When I say The Wizard of Oz, the movie you are thinking of was the fifth one made, making it just a reboot.
And it was crap. MGM took a magnificent kids' adventure story and turned it into a frothy, brainless musical...then they crowned their travesty by tacking on an "It was all a dream" ending.
46 years later, Disney of all people made a real Oz story, Return to Oz, from two of the later books...and the critics savaged it because it was dark and scary and didn't have any singing and dancing.

Not even ordinary heat death.
How much of the camel does that thing have attached to it? A liter of water is one kilogram, 2.2 pounds.

There seems to be one on each of three landing gear legs, so Queequeg, Tashtego and Daggoo would be appropriate.
"After ten years in solar freefall" would carry a bit more meaning...
...You know the rest.
...gives me a bad feeling about this.

The tour guides at Hitler's mountaintop chalet, the Eagle's Nest, are certainly upfront about it.
(Actually only foreigners call it the Eagle's Nest; that name was hung on it by the international media in 1938. Germans call it the Kehlsteinhaus.)
ex-patriot.
(whimper...)
Indeed. If you're talking about the Mayflower Pilgrims, they had found religious freedom in the Netherlands and it scared the shit out of them.
The reality is probably somewhere in the middle.

The notion that illiteracy is rising on the Internet is a liberal hoax.
No, they're getting their diamonds from a source that THEY control, and THEY decide what the retail price is.
Like owning an asteroid.
Try it in the Navy COD aircraft, the ship-to-shore shuttle that gets catapulted off aircraft carriers...it's intense.

That's why they have the draft.
Congratulations on your successful thawing. When did they freeze you?
Kaiser actually built one in four days in a carefully-choreographed stunt...two or three weeks was typical.
The former is only marginally controllable, and the latter is not silent.
Before they can do that, they'll have to open a chain of pediatric and veterinary hospitals.
I have a feeling he may come out a little different with Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) in the role.
...and I've had the hots for Charlotte Rampling ever since.
