New hot/cold planet 40 Light years away

@kaleu great that you posted this . He was, indeed, a remarkable man. Not loved much by the English back then!

Dang IL, might be a bit salty there about the rat thing that is often mistaken for a dog. :P

CWO - neat comic, like Dilbert.�  He’s my patron saint of technology I think.

As for “hot or not” probably.�  P-40s are seksi in their way, I mean they’re not P-51s so they’ll never be really seksi, but they’re seksi.

Thanks for clarifying everything.

Everything?  :)

I do not have a P40 tattoo.  I have a tattoo of a bald eagle super imposed over the Stars and Stripes on my right shoulder.

Also, I happen to like Catbert a lot, Dogbert is a close second.

I enjoyed your post! Good work.

You can growl at me all you want… This was merely meant as a memorial for those who fell…

OK, here’s another question:  If someone said you must fight in a war, and offered you one of 3 fighting vehicles to use, which one would you choose - a tank, a fighter jet, or a small, armed, water-craft?

I chose the tank, if only because it seems really cool to be heavily protected, while being able to dish out quite a bit of damage.  :mrgreen:

If I had to, I would choose:

1.  The medical van.  Because nobody really wants to shoot the medical van.
2.  The fighter jet.  Puke and pass out, but whee!
3.  The tank.  Because if I get blown up, hopefully the munitions will ignite and my end will be quick.  Also, I can pretend I didn’t hear orders. “wuzzat, the tank was too loud . . . retreat, you say?”
4.  The small, armed, water-craft.  Because of chemicals that can burn your skin in the water, and if you survive that, the fishies that like to eat you, and if you survive that, the dehydration and the sunburn.

This isn’t impressive at all. Spain had little where to go but up. They’re still Portugal’s black-sheep cousin (and Portugal was a 3rd world country 19 years ago). It’s not like he took a “great nation” and made it “greater”. After all, twice 2 pennies is only 4 pennies.

And the same could have been said about Canada when you speak of it’s economic growth. :wink:

Today is one of those days that makes me glad I have an office Job.

It will be passing 100 Degrees here in a few minutes and is suposed to get to 108 today. :o

But thank god it’s 75 at my desk. :D

Question, I don’t know the answer. Is China’s Government Elected?

Yes, most of the positions in the government are based on election, though often these elections are rigged. There hasn’t been once been a successful and smooth transfer of power (usually ending in bloody coups) since it went communist

China is experiencing more economic growth because it has become a combination of Communism and Capitalism.

I wouldn’t exactly call it communist. More like socialist.
