At least you remembered Unicron from Transformers. So your not a completely lost cause. :wink: *No-one* can forget Unicron! Unicron is the Dark God, the Chaos Bringer! *ahem* Anyone know why he has a humanoid form at all? In planet mode he doesn't have pretty green windows for eyes (all the better ...

You guys have basically got the second question down right. If we see an object moving in what seems to be an impossible fashion, the logical conclusion is that we are seeing an optical illusion (or a firefly), particularly when there is no sonic boom (why, oh why do they insist on playing these id...

Which particular violation of the Laws of Physics in any context (not just sci-fi, but Pseudoscience like Creationism etc) really annoys you? For instance the fact that apparently ST tractor beams don't follow Any Newtonian law (No force exerted along the beam affects the Projectors, the power in is...

I won't answer the logic for now, it's getting late here, but:

1: A specific subset of people live near powerlines.

Yep, Cancer victims are required by law to live within a 200 m radius of Powerlines.

YES!! I am the first again! Ahem. Everyone should check this out. http://www.randi.org/ I would think it's already in most peoples Favourites, but you're right, we should make sure to be on the safe side. Also for the science guys check out http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/home.htm It's got some great...

It seems to support Rob's theory.

Go to Randi.Org and all will be clear.... no wait, I mean.. I thought of them all on my own, really... Oh Bugger!

Sounds like something the Feds might use. It would also explain why you can't see the sight in the episode. With a sight like that, you wouldn't have to worry about adjusting for the height difference between the barrel and the sight itself. But then, it could just a thing with crosshairs. True, bu...

Thanks to Nova Andromeda for suggesting this forum. In retrospect, it seems like an obvious inclusion. Here's some mind ticklers for ya: 1) A legitimate scientific study shows that people who live near electrical power transmission lines have a higher risk of cancer than the general population. Its...

That's what I thought he said as well, then I realised it wasn't Bizarro's Mike Wongs Discussion Board.

Basically I think it's a mix. You have the invisible portion containing a high Em pulse that takes down the Ray shields or hurts any unshielded/small craft that get in the way and then the energetic plasma hits and does the serious physical damage. Best of both world, plus you are doing some damage ...

Go to http://startrek.com/library/media_TNG.asp?id=18262 and look at the 2mb clip, it shows the guys with very silly plastic visors and paintball coveralls attacking the Feds.

As far as I can tell, it might actually be a sight (albeit one unutilized by the braindead Federation "troops"). Well it still strikes me as a Prism sight, the image is actually one from a small pipe/barrel that runs through the body of the weapon and then, through a prism, it is reflecte...

Yay. Some1 else on these boards plays Games Workshop games. Here's my list: *Sigh* You call yourself 2000AD and you don't mention Skizz, the ABC Warriors, The Dark Judges or D.R. and Quinch when they're bored. These youngsters*tch* :) At least you remembered Unicron from Transformers. So your not a...
