my favorite is the guy in the black truck wondering "oh noes! i'm stuck again!" as if that's the only real problem here.

i'm by far no weapons expert but isn't that just a cannon? what qualifies this as artillery?

i'm not sold on the concept. "twice the power of a tower mounted turbine"? but this one has a puny little rotor, whereas the bigges turbines have a rotor alone of more than 400ft in diameter. and this little thing only floats 1000ft in the air (at least they plan to do so, only having achieved 350ft up until now). granted, there's surely more wind "up there" but then what? compare a 400ft rotor (the whole thing is 600ft in total height) to this little plastic sucker in 1000ft? the E-126 turbine i'm taling about generates 6MW. i want to see 12MW coming out of this little blimp thing :-)

if you're too lazy to feed your pet (a pet that by the way doesn't even need to be walked or anything) why did you get a pet in the first place? and no, leaving a cat alone for two days or more is no reason whatsoever because that's just cruel.

an eye for an eye. just like to bible tells you. nothing wrong here.

what an awkward and uncomfortable visit.

Well, at least in the old world there are various ways: scandinivian countries to my knowledge only use subtitles, france and germany both have very sophisticated Voice over industries. The example above aside it is very hard to spot if a Movie was voiced over in German because the speakers do an incredible Job of matching their words and pronounciation to the lip movements of actors. You actually can make a Good living as Voice over Artist. Especially the voices of Big stars can go into advertising etc (Bruce willis' Voice Guy does that a Lot). Really funny are Voice overs in eastern Europe countries, you can often find Movies where One Single speaker does all the voices without Even trying to make them Sound different :-)

That's really interesting. Would be curious how other languages handled it.>> ^conan:
as you might or might not know: in germany movies don't get subtitles but instead get a voiceover. naturally, this brings along some problems when there's play with languages such as in this case. "Airplane!" is a great example of how translators deal with this.
Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEkI0cH_rK4
So what they did is they let the two guys speak in a very thick, bavarian accent. bavaria is a region in south-east germany that's pretty much your cliche germany. beer for breakfast, sausages, huge 34oz beer mugs, castles, bretzel, leather shorts etc. it doesn't get more "german" than bavaria. there's certainly a racist touch to it (at least in my eyes because the "joke" depends on the audiences disbelief / surprise of a black person being a "real" bavarian) but i thought it's a good example of voice over strangenesses.
