Reference List of state leaders in 1025. Just because someone says something in a song this is not true. if you look at List of rulers of Wales you will see the correct rulers of Glywysing listed. Please do not put Young Jeezy who was born in 1977 as the ruler as this is clearly nonsense. Davewild 18:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

In 2005, Warner Bros. Platinum Records released a career retrospective of the band, made up of sixteen different tracks from various recordings on one compact disc.

as opposed to those greatest hits collections where they put one track on 16 CDs

fuckin HATE those

That apostrophe on "'specially" means so much.

The MI's onscreen military tactics were also found questionable, if not incompetent. As depicted in the film, the Bugs could not have challenged a 20th century mechanized army. While the majority of the bugs could only pose a threat to infantry at extremely close range (a limitation most assuredly not shared by the humans), the movie's troopers invariably tried to get as close as possible to the bugs, for no apparent reason other than to allow the bugs to kill them. The troopers lacked appropriate weapons — the bugs could not have fought an army equipped with tanks, flame throwers, napalm, land mines, or rapid-fire chain guns. In fact, a bombing raid of the bugs by a squadron of planes shows great success in the movie, and one must wonder why this obvious tactic was not continued. Moreover they did not make effective use of the weapons they did have, since they could easily have wiped out entire attacking forces of bugs with a single fuel-air explosive bomb while they were massing.

Troop movement was completely disorganized — soldiers moved as a loose crowd, failed to form defensive lines, and ran at the first anonymous cry of retreat. When attacking bugs, soldiers did not kneel or go prone for greater stability when firing, nor did they ever seem to aim before shooting, possibly because sights were conspicuously absent from their rifles. Overall military discipline was not in evidence. In most scenes, ground forces were completely superfluous, as the Federation could do more damage at far less cost of life from the air.

I saw this little bit written about Amarillo Slim and thought it was a prank. Turns out it wasn't!

The problem is that Wikipedia forces its contributors to come to a consensus, and building consensus with a crank is a fool's errand. Many of the departing scholars note the incident that finally brought them to leave; mine was a truculent teenager who refused to acknowledge that minimalist music was considered classical, because, as he put it, "it sounds more like Britney Spears than like Merzbow." Let that sink in a minute.

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.

• During the August coup in Russia which eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, then-Russian SFSR president Boris Yeltsin famously ordered Pizza Hut for everyone barricaded in the Russian White House during the coup.
