I think this comment alone should be reason enough to remove someone's firearms.
Friend, you are unstable and should not be allowed near anything that could allow you to harm yourself or others. Seek help!
If your first reaction to any problem is to reach for your gun then you, sir, are the problem! The solution is (as is often the case!) obvious, but maybe unpalatable for some. Luckily, the ones for whom it is the most unpalatable are the ones who most surely need to be disarmed first!
Interestingly, it is thought that Mornington Crescent was brought to the UK by Russian immigrants in the 15th century. It was originaly called Hammer and Sickle and became Mornington Crescent (a "mornington" is an auld English word for a heavy (cf "ton") hammer (AKA "morn" or more commonly "mace"), the crescent/sickle reference is more obvious).
Indeed. I friend managed to give himself a 3rd degree burn on his foot from a Hot Water Bottle that was OK to pick up. He went to sleep with his foot resting on the sucker and woke up with a cooked foot!
Unfortunately, he's a vegitarian.

However, if legislation is brought in to curtail short distance flights to try and preserve the environment (Trains 'should replace planes') then this sort of technology may be given the boost is needs.
First off, I gotta say that I likes the film. I'd agree that it was somewhat disjointed, and if you didn't know the book it might have been kinda tricky to follow, but knowing the book (in fact having just read it!) I really enjoyed it.
On the disjointed front, I believe that a normal film may have 10 hours or so of footage that is cut down to 1.5 or 2 hours. I've heard that there was over 50 hours of footage shot for Dune, and it had to be hacked down to distribute it. If this is the case (I heard from someone who ought to know, but I've not had it confirmed!), then when do we get the Director's Cut (in several parts!)?
The Mighty Uptight are a Yorkshire based band who are getting some airtime on the US East Coast (strangely enough). Garage Rock apparently - fast and furious!
Bullet Galloway are a London based group that are a bit like Counting Crows.
Both groups are excellent (though completely different) and both offer free downloads from their websites.
Unfortunately that means less income for the Americas.

Now, as I recall, someone did a V8 conversion on a Reliant Kitten (4 wheel version of Robin), and it was mighty quick (Reliants weigh next to nothing!), but this was just some silly fellow being, well, silly really. Normal use proved that they (Robins) were OK, 'cos in general they couldn't go very fast.
Now, the Bond Bug was a dangerous little sucker that got a lot of people injured or killed. The problem was it was cheap, fast and marketed at kids who didn't have a clue what to do. Loads crashed. Absoloute Carnage!
Now, why does this Landshark fella have to only have one rear wheel? Two of them could just make it into a car.

The Robin Reliant (AKA The Plastic Pig) had one wheel at the front and was quite rightly ridiculed and laughed at during play time, but it filled a niche for very cheap motoring (and I think you only needed a bike license to drive one - from 16 or 17 maybe too!).
Now, step back a few years, and check out the Morgan three wheeler. This was a fast sportscar with handling to match.
Now run forward to the present day, and check out the tricycle recumbents from Greenspeed. I was on hols in Colorado (Boulder) and saw one of these puppies, and they are really neat!
There's a bunch of stuff here about stability of 3-wheelers.
It's pretty common to get a copy of the Video on CD Singles here in the UK. CD plays A-OK in yer CD player, and pop that sucker into yer PC, and there's the video!
Better still, whilst ripping the CD onto yer PC (personal use only, of course!), copy the video over too. My Juke Box will automatically play mpg versions of videos, but can't manage the mov ones, which is a shame.

I think that when the word Universe was coined, the eggheads hadn't come up with the idea of alternate realities et al, and so "Universe" was everything (see "universal").
Unfortunately, the big-brained ones have now copped onto the Sci-Fi idea of these alternate universes (small 'U') and have seen that using a model such as this explains (and hence predicts) some of the observable behaviours, and, better than that, it seems to be a tighter fit that the previous ideas.
Sorry Bud, but it looks like they just changes the (dictionary) meaning of Universe...
Apparently, they come originally from the Ruff that aristos used to wear (French Aristos as it 'appens).
The Tudors broke with French Fashion and we got the Crevat instead (and, incedentally, the forerunner of the 3 piece suit at the same time!), and this mutated into a tie over time.
All of the above were useless fashion items just designed to make us look good - like High Heels for the ladies.
The best thing about wearing a tie is the point where you take the bastard things off! I hate 'em!
Rover and BRM (British Racing Motoring) had a Gas-Turbine powered car for a while - at least one remains in a museum somewhere, as I've seen it. It was never produced comercially so far as I know.
Parent One - 2 Red genes - Red Hair
Parent Two - 1 Red/1 Black - Black Hair (that's 'cos Black is more dominant, and guessing the other MUST be Red, 'cos all the nippers are Redheads - other explanation touched on below!)
Childred all inherit Red Genes from both parents, and get Red Hair. Easy peasy!
Now if both yer parents had Red hair, and you had Black Hair, then at least one of your parents has some explaining to do!

How exactly is a item about the merits - or lack of - of a Sci-Fi Film (namely Dune) "Offtopic" in a thread about what makes good Sci-Fi.
