King Kong 1976 beat out Star Wars, which was the next year.

"yeah but don't you know what ford stands for?

Depends on who you are:

First on race day

or

Found on rubbish dumps

Yep, the difference in that short time is pretty big. My parents bred dogs when I was a kid. My dad liked to keep them together for 16 weeks.

taken at 8 weeks or sometimes even younger.

The people who do this are arseholes running puppy mills in my opinion.

Ok but if Russia nukes DC, and the US doesn’t retaliate

What are you talking about? There is no way under god's green earth that would ever be true. The USA's whole nuke program is all about beingable to retaliate, even if the contenintal USA has been wiped off the map.

That is the whole point of the nuclear triad.

This is more like a threat of nuclear exchange between France and Germany but without Flanders being mined to hell and back

When East Germany existed, France's policy was to nuke Germany to stop a the USSR if they did invade.

I agree completely but we both know that is not going to stop them doing it.

They did it to Ghostbusters.

I know about his history of talking about change, that is all that happens at the Cop talk fests.

I was asking if he was willing to spend anything to make the change happen.

All we ever here is the rich and powerful, the ones who could do something, talk endlessly about how change is necessary.

Then they all climb back into their private jets and thank themselves for talking about doing something...again.

Cool. The man is worth billions. How much of the royal families funds is he devoting to get this done?

Oh, he is just making speeches and has no plans to do anything himself?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

The whole reason it was used in the original was that it was already a massive joke of a car.

Looks ok but runs like shit, the gull wing doors broke all the time and leaked like a sive.

It's use in BTTF actually saved its reputation and gave it a place in people's heart's it never had before.

That was why I made the comparison. Shit car that needs a movie to make it relevant and slightly cool.

That was what I was going to say as well.

They usually learn to stop by interacting with their litter mates.

Yep. I don't think overdrawing accounts has been possible in my country (Aus) for at least 30 years.

Have you blocked any users?

You won't see their comments

Just say the stainless steel body helps the flux capacitor work and you are good to go.

Most reboots are about call backs that are not as good as the original.

I can't find a top speed figure but it did have a 0-60mph of 10.5 seconds...and that was the manual.

When equipped with a manual transmission, the DeLorean accelerated from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 10.5 seconds as tested by Road & Track magazine.

So it may have made it to 88 but it would take a looooong time to get there. Certainly longer than the Libyans need to hit it with an RPG.

If you have ever worked for a large corp, you would understand.

"This is the bosses pet project. It doesn't matter how stupid it is, he wants it made and yes it will still be our fault when it is a total fucking disaster!"

In the reboot or in real life?

'Cause they were shit in real life. I don't think the asthmatic v6 they came with could even make it to 88mph

Good thing I am not a dog.

The only thing this will be good for is when they do a Back to The Future reboot in 10 years time...

Olfactory fatigue:

Olfactory fatigue, also known as odor fatigue, olfactory adaptation, and noseblindness, is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after a prolonged exposure to that airborne compound.

Why no for actual space? We actually are going, like right now.

The answer for both, via a space elevator, is no.

We have not left earth's orbit in 50 years.

Voyager, the probes that have been travelling for 50 years are still less than 0.001% (1/10,000th) the distance to the nearest star.

So humans are fluke and aliens not fluke?

Both are/will be but the chance of evolution taking the same path on two different biospheres is pretty much zero.
