I can’t believe no one has mentioned the EM gun, or railgun, in the movie Eraser. A slug of aluminum accelerated to Mach 10 is quite enough to perform any job required of it. The [...]

November 28th, 2007 · Comments Off

While checking my referrer logs the other day I noticed that someone in Myrtle Beach, SC, using Road Runner Business as their ISP, found this humble blog during a search on Google for “breasts exposed”. Huh? Supporting our troops, talking about Conservative values, guns and the Second Amendment, promoting Fred Thompson maybe … but “breasts [...]
