I'd like to reiterate that Colin's passing is tragic. Horribly sad.

So happy that when my hometown finally makes it to N&P, it's not something fatally embarrasing.

New ink; ribs and above the elbow...

Deranged, by Harold Schecter.

A slightly sensationalist telling of the story of Albert Fish, rich in details. *vomits*

Ah crap.

Hm.

Achieving great results with standard training and equipment?

Jastas 11, 2, and 5 of the Imperial German Air Force are good examples.

A tabula rasa for you to share your reading adventures.

Me?
Just flipping through Bjorn Langstrom's The Ship while on the toilet, not much time to actually read these days.

Hate to do it, but this thread is HUEG.

Too huge.

So, totally without prejudice and with reluctance, THREAD LOCKED.

See you in What Are You Reading Right Now 2.0

Very nice.

I can't stand fucking kids and their goddamned taste in music these days.

Rap and country?

Obviously the LSD usage of an earlier generation has paid it's dividends, resulting in children with something very important inside them being broken, and mangled beyond recognition.

To be honest, this 'creed' sounds like something he's made up to justify his racism. The only references to 'Vedism' I've been able to find online refers to the Historical Vedic Religion , which preceded modern Hinduism, with the main differences being the maintenance of certain ancient rituals and...

10 years ago I was 34, had just quit drinking, and was living with my brother outside of Phoenix AZ. My parents were still alive, and we unknowingly had some of the happiest times together ahead of us. 10 years down the road I find myself indulging in booze maybe once a month, my parents and survivi...

Wow, that's terrible. :( My condolences. How old was your roommate? Was he of the age where this was a freak occurrence? I know that as a 22 year old, I probably wouldn't assume heart failure if I was experiencing those symptoms. He was 51, a chain smoker, HIV positive, and had been complaining for...

My dog woke me up yesterday howling at my bedroom door, and almost immediately my one roomate (Roomate A) began yelling "Tom, Dwayne's dead! He's dead!".... I ran downstairs to the basement, peeked around the door, and there lay Roomate B in his bed, white as a sheet. I walked up to the be...

how the fuck am i supposed to be able to coherently discuss this story? honestly

Can someone put a NSFL tag in the title? And maybe...edit it? It's just... ugh.

It's a fantastic title, perfectly desciptive; why would I deface it?

Don't know who this grad student thinks he is, but anyone who knows anything about Maya archeology and calendrics has known for a very, very long time that the calendar isn't going to end for literally octillions of years.

Octillions.

When fgalkin's employer has a problem with Mike's sig, which AFAIK doesn't show the crack of Rebecca's ass, we'll have long heartfelt chat about it.

Until then, shut the fuck up.

Thread locked.

It's fascinating, to me at least, to compare the battle of Zonchio in 1499, St. Mathieu off Brest in 1513, Terceira in 1583. At Zonchio, Ottoman galleys carried guns too small to be effective against the giant Venetian carracks (or barze ) of Loredan and D'Armer, as was the case in The Golden Horn i...

A very convincing and as far as I can tell, very well researched, animated model of an example of the last generation of Mediterranean galley.

Posted in History rather than AMP to focus on the ship rather than the CGI.

I've been told that beef tallow makes a better french fry than lard.

The presence of Roman amphorae is best explained by ballasting ships with material from ancient trash middens, a common and documented practice. No one suspects prehistoric britons having made landfall in Hawaii due to the presence there of paleolithic stone tools originating from the south of Engla...

He should pay a price for his lack of vision.

Froth a little more at the mouth could we?

Very sweet fighter, congratulations.

Tory Belleci from Mythbusters was a studio modelmaker too, worked on Starship Troopers.

I'd give my left nut to got to London, pity testicles aren't accepted currency. For instance; the launching ways of Great Eastern, or at least the remains thereof, are still in place. How I'd love to explore that artifact. ...but that is where the history of naval warfare really began to separate fr...
