They're not cheap In http://youtu.be/Q-1DoJMehQM he said it was loaned to him for the expedition, and I saw elsewhere it would be worth at least $35,000.

Mine was when the bodyguard was arming up to provide protection, and the lead scientist said something like "put that away, this is a scientific expedition!"

As if scientific exploration for hundreds of years didn't have fricking fracking guards as they went into unknown environments.

Still pisses me off.

First stupid moment for me was Worm eye dude who said. "6 hours of day light left. phhhh, lets suit up and go out there. I wanna open my birthday presents" Dude, you just landed on an alien planet in a spaceship hotel. Maybe take your time? Survey the area thoroughly before going ALL THE WAY inside.

Arguably, we've already passed peak oil.

Hence, the sudden increase in offshore oil expeditions and tar sands operations.

Not to mention, Mexico - the U.S.'s third largest supplier - began running out of oil last year, 2011.

It's all downhill from here.

I don't get it. Did he just forget what he packed?

"This is day 86 on my full return South Pole Expedition 2011/2012. I`m quite hungry and about to pick up my last cache by my second pulk which I left on the way in. As a part of my motivational plan I have on purpose not made notes on what goodies I have left behind in the cache.. and on this last one, I didn`t expect very much."

42 - 43 second mark you can see the alien space jockey, that the expedition team found in the first movie

This is one thing that I feel very strongly that we (Americans) do right. I don't know how it really works in practice in other countries, but the way you describe it, it would be far too easy for a government to set up a massive illegal fishing expedition to look for any hints of illegal activity, then either have a fall guy or claim that it was an accident when they wanted to use the 'evidence'.


But if you've got nothing to hide, why is this a problem?

Just kidding!

That's a good point. My comment is predicated on the government having the citizens' best interests at heart. It's debatable just how naive this, but I don't think many people would say not at all. I certainly wouldn't!

Here in Portugal the law is similar to german. You obviously can install a video surveillance system, but you need to fill out a form informing the data protection agency, telling exactly what can be seen through the camera(s). Otherwise, that footage will never be accepted in a court of law as evidence.

Another fun fact in law differences just by the way: evidence illegaly obtained can sabotage a case in the US (at least has to be disregarded) whereas it makes no difference in Germany. Police unlawfully searches your home and find drugs? You will be prosecuted (but the copper also will).

That's interesting. I always thought it was weird that illegally obtained evidence is unusable, surely if it proves the guy did it then evidence is evidence? If it is obtained illegally, then whoever obtained it should be charged with whatever the illegal action was. Court cases should be "is the guy guilty" rather than "can we show the guy is guilty within the rules". I know it gets more complicated than this but on the face of it "evidence against Mr. Big is accepted, but you just implicated Officer Smith" seems right.
