rain_gryphonSome time spent clicking the links in this guy's model collection will repay you handsomely, if you like odd Japanese models. They plainly get better stuff than we do here.
*****
A model of a pooping Sika. Ah, Japan...
*****
They call me MISTER Pig!
*****
An injection-moulded model of an injection-moulder.
*****
What if you had a goalie fat enough to block the net in hockey? I've actually pondered that question before, although not to such depth.
*****
God's own Burnz-o-Matic, searing a whole galaxy. What must that look like from inside? I wonder if anyone was in the way, and if they knew enough to realize what was happening?
*****
I'm informed on apparently reliable authority that the West Virginia football chant is "Let's go, Mountaineers! Let's go drink some beers!"
The very worst beer I ever had I got in West Virgina. It was called "Big Jug o' Beer", and it came in a half-gallon plastic jug, like milk comes in. It was some ludicrous price, like a dollar or so, and worth it. You did at least have a handy plastic jug once you'd poured out the 'beer'.
*****
I went out to my car tonight to discover that the dome light was on. It had to have been on 24 hours, at least. Started right up, though :)

Date: 2007-12-18 01:49 pm (UTC)Working in West Virginia, I'm sure I've heard that chant. There's a lot of angry Mountaineers this morning over Rich Rodriguez's move to the Michigan coaching job. If he can make more money at a bigger school, good for him!
I thought the Galaxy energy weapon was cool. Makes you wonder if it was a superweapon by a powerful alien race. Is there an intergalactic war going on?! I expect some sci-fi writer will use this in a story.

A weapon that just hoses down an entire galaxy indiscriminately seems pretty much past belief. Still, I suppose the Rats that lived in Dresden would have had a hard time conceiving of the fire raid as a minor element in a dominance contest.

God's own Burnz-o-Matic, searing a whole galaxy
Somewhere lying around the house I have a scifi short story collection that includes a tale about a small colony of people who are trapped on a runaway Bussard Ramjet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bussard_ramjet) starship. (It was probably "To Outlive Eternity" by Poul Anderson.) At one point in the story it's related how they change course slightly to use the tremendous mass of the ship (thanks to relativistic effects) to avert a collision between two galaxies, presumably saving any inhabitants of both. Perhaps this roasted galaxy is what happens when the pilots of such starships arn't so thoughtful. ;^)

Date: 2007-12-19 04:20 am (UTC)I'd been wondering. In some ways, that's more disturbing, and in some ways less, than what I'd been imagining.
