Those aren't just jackals, they're Anubis.

@DrPawn; human-selection for plants and animals is not the best example because chihuahuas and wolves/coyotes/jackals are still exceedingly genetically similar. In current classification domestic dogs are a subspecies of the 'Canis'-family, 'lupis'-species, called 'familiaris'... similarly, the variety of cows we see, though they bear less and less resemblance to wild ancestors, are sub-species. Cows are also a weird example, one that blows-to-hell the 'successfully breed together' species definition... ah, the wikipedia site is nice... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cows

In contrast, chimps and humans now sit in the same family-'Hominidae'... this video shows that we can see how the genetics of a family ancestor changed and did NOT change as we speciated in our direction and chimps speciated in theirs.

I'm suprised and dissapointed not to see my faves there. I'd really like to see the intros for The Jackal, Event Horizon and Casino Royale again. All memorable.

Fixed again!

"Come Talk To Me"

The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight
In search of you, I feel my way, though the slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense
I reach through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me

In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast
With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last
Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief
Why are you shaking like a leaf
Come on, come talk to me

Ah please talk to me
Won't you please talk to me
We can unlock this misery
Come on, come talk to me

[Chorus 1:]
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can't you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me [x2]

The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone
From nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one
You lie there with your eyes half closed like there's no-one there at all
There's a tension pulling on your face
Come on, come talk to me

Won't you please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me

[Chorus 2:]
Don't you ever change your mind
Now your future's so defined
And you act so deaf and blind
(And you act so deaf so blind)
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me [x2]

I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart it will not be denied
'Til we're both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away

I said please talk to me
Won't you please come talk to me
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me [x2]

I said please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me
[Chorus 2]

Primal Scream are a rock group formed as a duo in 1982 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Several of their songs have appeared on movie soundtracks including "Trainspotting" in the film Trainspotting, "Miss Lucifer" and "Swastika Eyes" in The Football Factory, "Star" in The Jackal, "Movin' On Up" in Grand Theft Parsons and the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (on fictional Alternative station Radio X), and "Come Together" in Human Traffic.

This song is from their 2000 album XTRMNTR. In 2001 Q magazine named it as one of the 50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time.

Black musta went to the Shatner Institute for his cheese major. My Fav is when Blackjack helps ol' Bruce Willis site in his sniper rifle in The Jackal remake.

Debris: I have seen things skid across long distances. Multiple that by the velocity of the plane and any other factors and it doesn't seem so unreasonable. Of course, I don't mean to say the passengers brought it down themselves; the madman at the controls did it. In my limited experience flying (virtual) planes, I wouldn't be surprised to see all sorts of ridiculously odd outcomes from collisions, crashes, and explosions.

If the USAF shot down 93, good on them - and there's no reason they shouldn't publicize it.

Dubya: that's based on my understanding of how the POTUS operates and of human nature.
If Dubya was dead, you could argue they didn't do their job, but he's not. A school is a much harder target to hit and I doubt the terrorists were flexible enough to re-plan their target in just three days.

The article mentions that when Bush first heard about it, "he believed the crash to have been a case of pilot error." Funny thing is, that's what I first heard - and I learned about 9/11 in a very similar setting: in a classroom, with someone whispering the news to me.

All I heard was, 'a plane hit the WTC.'

"Man, that's like the worst pilot EVER", I thought. I had ridden the subway while this was all going down, so I missed everything on TV. Not until after class did I go outside, see a TV, and absorb the real shock.

Having read the articles you presented, I know that a lot of people thoughtlessly absorb what's presented to them. I've been in journalism, I've been exposed to PR flaks and all that garbage. This is nothing new to me.

My understanding of 9/11 is that the US had a Massive Intelligence Failure, but the Bush Administration proceeded to use it as an excuse to justify all kinds of zany programs; I don't think they were organized enough to plan it directly, but they were certainly skilled enough to exploit it.

Damn jackals.
