It's funny… just yesterday I was thinking about we were at least a decade or so from cloaking technology, and here they say they're about three years away from a functional prototype. Of course, it could be ten or so years before they fix the problems of only working on a single frequency, but sti...

quick question about the ra cailum which im sure has been answered before but what are those long rippled panels that extend below and forward of the ship? are they some type of solar panel or radiator fin? I think they're supposed to be radiator fins. The Clop has 'em too, as does the Neo Zeon Mus...

Corollary: Redesigns of Mobile Armors, however, will be constrained almost entirely to manga side-stories and SD OVAs. ("ZAKRELLO Maximum, launching now!)

:shock:

… on second thought, maybe that's a good thing.

3. Still seems a bit of a disappointment for a ship created over two decades later. Though as stated on 1, being able to operate in the atmosphere is quite a plus. Well, it was only created about five or six years after the Salamis Kai (Which came out in the mid-0080's), so the gap between the two ...

No problem. It's means she's pregnant. Don't worry about not getting it. Personally, I'd love to know where the phrase got started, because it makes no sense to me either.

Unfortunately, I'm not old enough to have enjoyed Knight Rider, nor have I ever seen it outside of parodies (Robot Chicken all the way!). It does look like a good series, however. Anyway, I was watching The Showbiz Show with David Spade last knight, and this is what he had to say on the subject: KIT...

Wow… thanks for that article yukikaze. I agree, we've got too little sex ed in schools. I mean, this was about eight years ago, but I only really got sex ed in fifth grade; after that it was mostly a refresher course, though we did talk about STD's in high school. THAT was something I was definite...

J-Lead… wow… um, wow. That certainly freaked me out. Well, fortunately my high school had no pregnancies. The fact that we didn't have any pregancies is a given: I went to an all-boys Catholic high school (and no, we had no problems with our priests!). As for drugs and feces… I can only confir...

I don't know if anyone's posted this yet, but… ALL ERAS Beam cannons, beam sabers, funnels, nuclear missiles, solar rays, gigantic Death Star-esque space cannons, and colony drops are not the way to solve a conflict… Long and personal discussions of a political nature while in the middle of pitc...

I'm about to sound like an iredeemable hick, on verge of the residents of Moon-Moon in Double Zeta, but… what's an Enzo? I've heard it mentioned before, but I'm not much of a car person (most of the cars I get excited about are hybrids or other cool power systems, so sports cars aren't on my list)...

Folken, what was the general age of people in there? People my age (I was born in 1989) completely missed when the Transformers were airing on TV and most likely have only ever heard the name and that's it. There's only a few of us who actually have gone back and watched it (myself included - used ...
