Let me count the ones I remember.
1. Godzilla
2. Mothra, giant silkworm and moth
3. Rodan, dragon
4. Gydra, the 3-headed monster
5. Gamera, the flying space turtle
6. Son of Godzilla, blows smoke rings

Nope can't think of 17 monsters.

Blowing smoke rings is the main reason I wanted to smoke as a kid. Unfortunately I never liked the taste and was too aware of the health hazards to get good like this guy.

Maybe I'll take it up when I'm in my 50's.

I mop my BBQ with an oil and vinegar emulsion. It doesn't make it 'sour' but the subtle sour flavor of the vinegar balances the richness of the fat and gelatin nicely. Plus, it seems to help the smoke ring penetrate, although, I've never tested that.
Try it some time.

The biggest smoke ring EVER.

The one on Hybrid's post is a sarcasm post isn't it? Try doing it the regular way...

Ah, well that makes too much sense doesn't it? Will do.


Well at least botty didn't ignore me.

I'll try here again.

From my reading of the FAQ I think I should be able to do that.

I also noticed that you tried to promote one of my sifts which also didn't work or result in a post by siftbot...

Have you and siftbot had an argument? Is siftbot ignoring you?

I love Jeff Bridges. For a real treat, watch him blow smoke rings in The Contender. And for the record, I don't believe him here.

nice. i'm probably the best out of all my friends at smoke rings, especially with a hookah. i strive for this skill.

WHile I understand two galaxies wouldn't look like that, would you care to explain the physcis behind it? There have been no instances that we know of where two galaxies collide head on perfectly like the rings above. I'm assuming it's because galaxies are largely empty space that does not move like smoke?


It's prob because galaxies are hundreds of thousands of light years across, and the incredible gravitational pulls of each galaxy will act on each other long before they physically touch. They won't transfer all their momentum in a radial direction like those smoke rings cuz of the gravity.

That's my bs, but here is a page from the official hubble site with lots of pics of colliding galaxies:

timeshift
Brilliant little clip! I guess the good stuff can sift at 15 votes...


What's timeshift about this video? That's real speed. I'll give someone the opportunity to prove me wrong first, but then, it's out brohim.
