So sorry the Japanese are not the only ones to blame for the civilian dead in Okinawa (wonders about the stories and there was the absent Japanese side of the story). One must remember killing civilians was nothing to the US military. Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as the…

Singapore's ladies take the trophy. Wow. But I would hate to see how they could move around if the plane's going down. The worst is United or Luftansa.

While there is no exact information on how wide of an area these things have been scattered, if they've been found on a car or on the roof of a smallish building, it's likely these tadpoles were tossed about by pranksters. Think about it. If winds, water spouts, whatever -…

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain got Hitler to sign the meaningless "Munich Agreement" in 1938. Hitler was the leader, of course, of the Nazis. Conceptually speaking, the Nazis were the terrorists of the day.

I feel that there may be a reason for Toyota to want to license/sell the technology right now... I predict that hybrid drivetrains are but a temporary stage in powertrain technology. The future will predominantly be hydrogen, electricity, natural gas, or a combination of those. Sure, there will be gasoline-fueled…

Star Trek was a creation of Gene Roddenberry; he was a visionist and tried to express his visions on a budget-driven TV show in the late 1960's. I know - I watched them first run.

That's how I will always see Star Trek - as a man's vision of a…
