And they've even given it a nifty sales-pitch name... I can imagine their marketing campaign... "For 10 Million $US, come join Club K!" This is so wrong...

Herzlichen Glückswunsch!

At least Big Boomer's name will be spellable should it ever have to come into history for the worst of reasons. It's name is Katla.

Car parking fail, or building construction fail? My guess is - both.

If only all politicians had that much fight in them to defend their points of view... Many other parliaments give the impressions that no matter which words fly, once the work day is over they're all friends... Talk about politicians fighting, quite literally, for what they believe in!!!

They're not only out to get conventional subs but also german-built frigates as well... Hmm, must be one of those "whole-package" deals...

Ironic, given that it's a Navy bird...

Amazing pictures of a "dirty thunderstorm"... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36645958?GT1=43001

I'm with Carlos on this one. Portugal is one of the most religious countries of the western world, we spend millions just to receive the pope, we've spent other millions in the sanctuary of Fatima, yet at every carnival you can bet you find at least one or other figure to make fun of the pope or jesus. Do we portuguese consider that an offense to religion itself? Does the christian church itself speak against it? No! Yet most probably you'll find the same portuguese brandishing those figures at those times in church at sunday mass or at times in need, and no cleric will have thought less of them for it. But enough of ranting. Btw, loved the irony of the islamic painting of your "Hypocrisy" picture, Unknownpilot. Depending on how ignorant one thinks that islamist to be, it's either incredibly ironic or doubly offensive...

Welcome aboard Mig-Air! The inflight entertainment will be provided by aerobatics performance... enjoy your lunch!!!

What do you mean with enemies?! Rather, friends! Since they're buying european hardware instead of US... I do wonder though, if this is a trend to maintain, seems US-Israeli relations have cooled down some, with Israel also banning the Ipad... what's up with that... ridiculous imho...

Nope. Vodka > Beer. 'Nuff said.

One of my favourite videos to start the morning with (because good humour is essencial!) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfxcq77FkdE (still haven't figured out how to embed youtube videos in a post...)

MOAB containers with alcohol AND cheap pr0n - Playboy and Hustler is too good for them, lolz!

Parabéns Yuri!!! E que continues com céus limpos e muito sol a voar ainda por muitos mais!!

In the words of the famous Duke Nukem: "Shake it, baby!"

Would ash effect good old fashioned liquid-cooled piston engines (Merlin/DB601/Allison/...) equipped with filters? Would be ironic to be thrown back into the propeller age... but according to the scientists, the eruption of ash has stopped, which makes fears come to life that the neighbouring larger volcano Katla may awaken - and if that happens, ash could be spewn out for months in much larger proportions than so far... Sometimes, I can't help but to be amazed at how good old Mother Nature forces a slower pace of life on us. The alternatives to air transportation would result in trips that by plane take only hours, to be traversed in days or even weeks... Edit: Hmmm, instead of Helos, GrViper, how about Blimps? Sound more practical I think, besides more economical, given the amounts of people and cargo to be transported...

Awww, cute...

Does this only affect civilian flights? I wonder how this would affect a war scenario... taking into account the new aggressiveness displayed by the large member of the "late unpleasantness"...

Actually, I think the most appealing factor of the A-Team was how they were always able to make something menacing out of whatever was around to win the fight in the end - kinda like McGuyver meets the Army or something like that...

Amen, CarlosemoG, amen! You're right, JediMaster, my mistake... I'll edit the post. Still, Mr T is B.A. Barracus, no two ways about it! Just like Richard Dean Anderson will always be Mcguyver and David Hasselhoff always will be Michael Knight (although I bet he'd prefer to be more Mitch Buchanan )...

The moorish geckos are very small, normally between 10-15cm in length, and I've never had to deal with lizard poop anywheres - probably they did their s**tting outside, since they don't limit themselves to being inside the house but outside as well. Some day who knows I'll dedicate myself to breeding these wonderful creatures... due to their small size, they're really cute, and diligent at their jobs.

Seriously, Liam Neeson as Hannibal?! What were they thinking!!! And - I pity the foo that tries to imitate the original B.A.!!! Some things are better left at their original interpreters and let be that way... Like Knight Rider... I mean FFS... No sequel has beat the original series yet... and no imitation has really had the same flair (the Dodge Viper series comes to mind)...

I must say, as a car driver, I normally try to respect bikers, and those that are driving privately I try to give them most attention, but there are also some kamikaze bike drivers out there, especially pizza and express mail deliverers, which act as if the road was theirs - and they drive for a living, which makes me wonder why they are giving bad examples - since most private bikers drive more leisurely and relaxed. Here we don't get much of waves, more like when we inch over a bit at a stop light to let a bike pass between cars when there's no space, though once I really pulled over to let a female biker pass on a Harley, she gave me a nice salute and smile. Personally, I'd never drive a crotch rocket, though I guess I wouldn't mind trying out driving a chopper or something that cruises around slowly and noisily and still gets everybody's attention - though the only motorcycle I've driven was a quad near the Grand Canyon... which convinced me that I'd be better off with 4 wheels rather than just 2... but wouldn't mind getting a quad of my own some day, who knows...
