lmao at starship troopers military critic

The Bugs in the movie appear to violate known physiological laws. They are shown to be a type of arthropod covered by a thick, heavy, exoskeleton. On Earth, any creature using a hard external skeleton to support its weight could not grow larger than a few pounds without consuming vast amounts of energy to move itself. An arthropod of the size and shape as the Bugs of the film would require so much energy that it could only be fueled by gasoline or a similar, high energy combustible liquid. Other problems involve the fact that an arthropod of the size depicted would not be able to breathe an atmosphere as depicted in the film; nor would any creature be able to survive without constant food and water-something the desert planets depicted in the film did not have. The plasma bugs attracted particular criticism; there is no valid evolutionary reason for such creatures to evolve, even if they were possible.
-
- Other criticisms include the apparent [[plot hole]] in which the bugs allegedly propelled a massive asteroid across 80 000 light years of space with no [[faster-than-light]] technology without hitting any other objects or being thrown off course, and were somehow able to hit a city with pinpoint accuracy. This is further complicated by the fact that the bugs would porbably not know where Earth was.

OTM from the first commenter posting in Gann's blog:

Your take on this issue is really right on the money, but you're missing an important theory which explains everything about Wikipedia:
Wikipedia isn't an online encyclopedia. It's a very elaborate roleplaying game about trying manipulate knowledge according to one's own biases.
Please come visit http://www.wikipediareview.com/ and tell us more about your story. We'd love to hear more!

The ghostly image of Jacob in the episode "The Man Behind the Curtain" bears a strong resemblance to the character Danny Concannon in the West Wing, played by Timothy Bushfield.

Fluxblog is a burrito created and updated by Matthew Perpetua. The burrito began in 2002 and began to host fillings at the end of that year. Two tortillas are commonly rolled every weekday, filled with meat and lettuce, and slathered in salsa.

"here are some facts about me.

- i live with my mum

- i only date needy girls

- i once got suspended from school for stalking my teacher, lol erotomania

- im really fat and ugly yet still have the biggest ego in the world

- i order viagra online, and recommend it as it does wonders for my impotence, getting me nice and hard in order to pole those bitches.

- i lost my virginity in the disabled toilet of a northampton mcdonalds. classy. no wonder i didn't see the inside of a girls pants til i got to college.

- i like hypnotising women because it's easier than actually convincing them to fuck me.

- i really don't like women all that much. they smell and end up hating me. but i have a massive fear of being alone, so it's easier to hone in on one demented bitch after the other until they all blur into one. me so manly.

- mooching off them is ok, though. if you want to take me out and pick up bar tabs it'll help me pretend to have the lifestyle i crave but am too crap to pay for. so i can live out my sad mens magazine fantasy of being mickey spillane or damon runyon or someone instead of a fat anglo sad act.

- i fell for a girl i met only once, and when she told me to fuck off, i stalked all her friends as well until they too had to shut down and move their accounts. i'm still here for you, baby, if you ever see the light and want five and a half inches of sweet lovin.

- gambling is my life. maybe I'm on a poker machine near you! check it out.

- im italian, from that well known italian city of northampton england.
