Thanx, I'll give it a shot. And yeah, I know it's not a mantid, but I don't know what the hell it might actually be, so that's how I'm referring to it for now.

Ahh, now I remember. You'd think I'd remember something like moving around tiny frickin' blackholes!!! Right, they called the unpropelled protons "shadow bombs." They were also fillled with more baradium, for extra "BOOM!!" For some reason I thought you were talking about when they staggered the torps so that the first would overwhelm the dovin-bassles, allowing the second in to do damage. I have no idea how I made a connection as dim as that.

It'd be like a foghorn. After hearing it go off a couple times, you'd need it to be that loud just to hear it at all. What's the new sauropod with a double row of spines, Amargasaurus? And I don't know, but whenever I see the movies, then pictures of various dromaeosaurs compared to man, the JP raptors seem much closer to Deinonychus (correct sp this time) rather than Uah. I know everyone and everything refers to tham being more like Utahs, but they just seem far too small, whereas thy're just about the right size to be the Deinons.

Whatever helps you sleep at night

Ahh, then you have succeeded, little one. Though you have not yet earned the right to fly among those of blue feathers, you do show some potential. Anyway, smart move, I just cause trouble wherever I pop in

are you kidding? The stuff I've come up with can be pretty far out there and unfeasible, especially sci-fi crap. I'm even trying to write a fantasy/magicky series, with only a minimal of science background, a very small minimal at that. I even like the sound of explosions added into space movies, and I don't really care that the velociraptors in JP are more similar to deinonychus The only things I don't like are apex-carnivores being beat on by overgown pescivores, or the phone thig. I don't know why, but the phone thing in particular really, really bugs the hell outa me

I suppose in the later books i have read about luke lifting some pretty large crap, and some of the lesser ones lifting cargo loads and such....not to mention Kyp yanking the sun crusher all the way out of the depths of Yavin

Now that would rock. Cyborg is also rpobably the way to make human freak super soldiers, just attach stuff to people, rather than growing whole new ones.

Hamsters are nothin' but fat, slow-moving squirrels with less advanced climbing ability. Plus, squirrels come in a much greater variety, making them well suited to a number of world-domination related tasks. Remember, this inlcudes groundsquirrels and marmots.

I've read in yoda's new clone wars book about him levitating himself inside an R2 Unit's empty shell, which he raised at least two meters over a bathroom stall. Seems to me he could do it if he wished. Anyway, Yoda's the only one I've ever actually lift anything of substantial size, The others tear stuff down, fling it around, or only lift small things.

[Female Geek] Oh, I haven't seen them yet, I was waiting for the DVD, which I'm getting in a day or so [Female Geek] These sorts of interests aren't really geeky, they just aren't mainstream.

Like an octopus, or a squirrel. I'd say those are key candidates

I've only ever heard about them slowing falls or extending leaps. I need to find that book. My luck, it's probably one of the ones I don't have, dammit

Yeah, that's always bugged me too, they should be able to hover at least. I admit, the Spino-phone thing provided a bit o' comic humor otherwise absent in the third movie. I'm usually okay with the things people change around or warp in movies, but for some reason, the Spinosaurus killing T-rex thing, and the phone thing really, really get to me.

There's a line between scientific fact and sheer common sense. And common sense states that if I can't hear a cell phone clipped to my own belt, I won't hear one in the intestinal tract of a giant lizard a hundred yards away.

This forum has died to me, Fish-breath. Boring, no debate, only one obnoxious little baryon trying to cute . Try harder. Make a point. Get me interested. (jk)

I don't know, sensitive tactile receptors that respnd to shifts in air current? It seems to me that would good for catching flies. But sensory developement or response to movement is not an indicator of intelligence. It's a simple reflex, which the plant doens't control consciously.

it doesn't have any intelligence. It simply responds reflexivly to stimulation by clamping shut. The mechanisms are no more "intelligent" than those of a flower blooming

Yup. And do you really thing you could hear a phone ring from across a meadow, through several feet of meat and tissue? No. I hated that director.

Regarding Jurassic Park III . . . Was anyone else as thoroughly pissed by the concept of a Spinosaur killing a T-rex? Sure, Spino was longer, with a possibility of having longer jaws, but really, it was a lightweight, it's jaws were propotionately much weaker, and most of it's teeth were about an inch long, designed to catch FISH!!!! I know that there were larger, possibly more powerful predatory dinos than Tyrannosaurus rex (Carcharodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus, etc), but Spinosaurus was not one of them. I'm just letting off some steam. Just watched it last night again, and it rekindled some old anger.

Fine I concede, if that's what gets you off go ahead and think of me as a cheerleader, the kind who uses the goal posts to pole dance, does a psuedo-striptease, then beats the stuffing out of the grabby mascot..... Okay, here are my lame jokes of the day, forgive me, but it's late and I'm stressin' .... The popular blonde cheerleader bounced into the local card shop, looked around, then approached the clerk. "Do you have any, like, real special birthday cards?" she asked. "Yes, we do," he replied. "As a matter of fact, here's a new one. It's inscribed, "To the Boy Who Got My Cherry." "Wow, neat!" she squealed. "I'll take the whole box." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What happened to the blonde cheerleader when she did the splits? A: Twenty class rings fell out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was googling info on lasers or plasma (forget which) and ended up here. And good for you Dak. If willow's had been the first thread I had stumbled into, I would have abandoned the site without a second thought.

A true penguin guru would know every truth regarding his people, and would accept each and every bird for who they were, no matter what their "quirk"

Which is why you are a disgrace to your icon! You bring shame to the great Penguin Alliance!!!
