when i read the headline, i was soooooo hoping this meant a controller you could throw when you get pissed off (i.e. mortal kombat) and it wouldn't break...
i imagine a long lost floating ship many years in the future carrying a band of genetically engineered augments that will be launched after a war breaking out on earth and.... you know the rest...
i thought we were out of the land mine business as well. but this administration has pulled us out of so many weapons treaties it makes your head spin. then again, maybe we're just sticking to our guns as far as history is concerned by manufacturing weapons and selling or giving them to other countries....

to the people who say "i don't have anything to hide, so its ok with me", i say, this is another huge symptom of the government/certain people in the government wanting to take our rights away. theres something called the 4th amendment... some people keep saying its ok, but when are they gonna get that we are gonna have to stand up for our rights or they'll keep taking them away till there aren't any left.

maybe its like the bermuda triangle... actually i know that several theories in the last several may very well have demystified the triangle...
