So, I got Called Out on Encroaching on Nemo's Awkward Territory

    Well, I geuss I kind of lied to you guys when I promised some badass cool post, but I'm thinking that this one will hopefully make up for it!

    First off, I want to announce a contest! So, I tend to write a lot of posts, and most of them are pretty bad. So, if you're reading this, it means you have free time, free time which you could be using to make your own blog! It's pretty simple really. All you need to do is create a blog and write somewhere around three or more posts! The first three people (if there are three... sadness [did my pity strategy work to persuade you?]) to make a blog after this point and post a link on my blog or email me or something Win a super bad ass prize, such as:


     Ok, so there probably won't be any money, but there could be a dinosaur, or hot wheels car, or something ridiculous! I would mail you fire, but not only is that incredibly bad ass, it's also illegal....

  And here's a poem! Yeah, I suck at poetry.....



The Crow sat on the wire,
a pitch-black statue, 
above the flattened tire.

Silent above the street, 
and the field,
in the midday heat.

A testament to the wild,
in a civilized time,
with freedom undefiled.

Caw! Croaked the Crow,
above the street and the field,
and the grass freshly mowed.

Lets Get it Together USA

Russia had weapons mounted on Space Stations. How did we overlook this.

"Defense measures

In addition to reconnaissance equipment, Almaz was equipped with a 23mm Nudelman rapid-fire cannon mounted in a stationary position to the forward belly of the station.[1] This self-lubricating cannon was modified from the tail-gun of Tu-22 jet bomber, and was capable of firing 950 rounds per minute. Each 200 gram projectile flew at a speed of 690 m/s relative to the station[2]. To aim the cannon the entire station would be quickly reoriented facing the threat.

Salyut 3/OPS-2 conducted a successful test firing on a target satellite remotely with the station unmanned due to concerns over excessive vibration and noise.

OPS-4 was to have featured two unguided missiles instead of the aircraft cannon, but this system has not been shown publicly and may have never been fully manufactured."

Woah!


As you can see above, Google Earth captured a Lancaster Bomber flying over a neighborhood in England. If you want to see it in Google Earth, go to 52 20 10.87N 0 11 43.34W and under "Edit" "Historical View" and go to December 30th 2003.


In additional news, I apologize for the embryo donation ad on the bottom of the blog, but I can't et rid of it without getting rid of tetris...
