I was watching The Core on TV a couple of days ago. I had watching it in theaters when it first came out, but now that I've learned quite a bit about nuclear weaponry, I've found quite a few flaws in the movie.

1. 200 Megaton Nuclear Warhead

My count might a little off; I was only half-watching the movie, but they said that each warhead had a 200 ( Read more... )

I recently ordered a couple of books off the internet within the last few weeks. I like places like Amazon.com or Ebay, because you can get a book used for less than $1.00. It's hard to top that. Hopefully someday I'll actually read all of them.

Anybody catch the ending to the Cowboys/Bills game? Beautiful. They make hollywood movies about stuff like that ( Read more... )

I've had a mild cough for the last week or two. Nothing unbearable. I'm not going to the emergency room unless I'm sure I might die.

I went to the emergency room last night. The night I got here, I started feeling really sick. I'm talking, Really Sick! Chills like nobody's business. Shut off the AC, climbed under three blankets. My body was on the ( Read more... )
