An interesting rant...

This was posted by the guy who writes 8-bit theatre (nuklearpower.com), one of the webcomics I am hooked on (note the other is twolumps.net). At any rate, I found this 'editorial' particularly amusing today and as such have illegally reproduced it here...and yes, I do own the G1 DVD collection. I don't think I've ever actually WATCHED them all,

...in which I *prove* I am a laser nerd

You can't hear lasers in space." Especially because you can't hear lasers period, the passage of light tends to be fairly silent, but shut up anyway

If you have a powerful enough laser with high beam quality and focus it down to a tiny spot you will break down the air. That generates sound. If you run it in a pulsed mode, you'll hear that sound at the repetition rate of the laser and other frequencies as well. In fact, we often use a small microphone to tune the focus of our laser - the louder the noise, the better the focus.

Just thought you'd want to know that. :-)

Too Funny!

Yes, I thought of you with the lasers. Somehow I find it hard NOT to when Lasers are mentioned!

I read the comment on 8 Bit. I knew you'd enjoy it as soon as I got to this part:

Seen in this light, is it any wonder Starscream was always trying to take the reins of leadership? Megatron's energy policy asks us to expend more energy than our civilization is able to produce so he can get a few barrels of oil. I mean, come on. This is like if one of the candidates told you that the entirety of his energy policy was to move all gas stations to Pluto. In this new light, I think we can all see Starscream's point.

You now have justification for all your years of backing Starscream. :)

Thank you for pointing out that everything in movies doesnt have to make sense but that some things realy should...

You know i blocked the batery thing from matrix and replaced it with computer memory...that the people were some sort of brainy computer components.

Are you talking old transformers, new ones or movie?

Hey I DID win the race....i forgot...I earned my Coke :)

Hey go to target and get the halloween catnip sticks for your kitties! they are the best catnip toys ever. They had them out for last xmas,and my kitties still obsess on those. Now the new ones have created some seriously high furballs. They are like 4 bucks for a bag of 4 sticks. You can smell the nip.
They have cute skelletons etc on them too.
