"This weapon, known simply as Tri-Entity or Turbo, is a great, unhealthy looking three-bladed sword. The central blade is the equivalent of a long sword of sharpness while the two outer blades are similar in size to short swords of sharpness. When [the wielder] swings and hits, he causes 2d6+1d8 damage, with a +5 bonus for the weapon's enchantment.

The two outer blades can be shot from the hilt, attacking as arrows of accuracy +4. If the arrows miss their target, the blades fly back to the sword like a pair of boomerangs and reattach by the end of the current round."

- Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Encyclopedia Magica Volume 4

Sure I hate the elements of our society he points out and criticizes, but I also hate loud douche-bags that think they're funny screaming at and putting people down in public places. Was there even a good joke in their? The boomerang on the white house thing? Fuck off.

Anyone that yells at me while I'm eating food I just paid for with my hard earned money sucks donkey cock.

Agreed; the theremin was great, though.

Maybe would have been more believable if it showed him with a tube coming out of the mask (and he kept playing the keys while tube-voicing), and stomping on a boomerang-box to set up and cue the loops on and off.

0:00-40:00: really good/must see. this is a great description of our monetary system.
40:00-43:30 completely false
46:00-49:00 completely false
49:00+ going downhill real quick
60:00+ getting into ridiculous nonsense at this point
65:00+ are you serious, I thought you just said business was bad 5 minutes ago?
69:00+ efficiency and abundance are the enemies of profit? so if you are mining gold bars, and figured out a process to extract 10 gold bars instead of only 1, you are unhappy because then the prices of gold goes down? wtf are you talking about?
71:00+ eliminating the need for prisons? are you crazy?
73:00+ a world of flying boomerang airplanes, what the hell is this? I need to donate to whatever the opposition of the venus project is, christ.
74:20+ a world with super robots producing food and labor so no humans have to work? thats your ace in the hole solution to everything? hello, didn't we see how that ended in the terminator and the matrix?
79:30+ false, all of those mediums require massive resources to construct
82:00+ good idea, lets replace airplanes with trains. would be a fun trip from Argentina to Australia on a train. By the way, all the technology you have been talking about was developed through corporate greed under the evil monetary system, how do you explain that one?
85:00+ robot doctors? really? so you are going to be okay with a robot grabbing your balls and telling you to turn your head and cough?
86:00+ no legal system at all because crimes are caused by money? so rape and murder--thats just due to bounced checks? pendulums in cars to correct for drunk driving? this is getting really hard to watch...

sorry I'm losing it...the venus project is just insane.

Can't stop laughing at this.

ah crap. link's dead.
not the elf with the boomerang.

Gee you're a swell guy QM... swell.
Aww shucks. You mean, you're surprised when people get mad at cheap shots taken at their country? Am I supposed to think that since you're an Aussie you ride around on twin crocodiles like skis in the water and in a kangaroo pouch on land? Chugging Foster's in between throws of the boomerang? Laughing it up with Yahoo Serious?

QM, Im confused, is that supposed to be a cheap shot at Australia? Cause, it sounds a little AWESOME, to me! Seriously, I would LOVE to visit THAT Australia!

Perhaps you might want to look at just how 'great' the US is at giving aid?

What a delightful socialist website!--according to which "Low gas taxes ($0.11 per liter; rank: 21)" is a "weakness."

While you're at it, why don't you blame Bush for stubbing your toe and burning your toast.

Now, good old Australia (my country) rates pretty darn poorly too, depending on the figures either just above or just below the US... and we've had a pretty bad environmental track record along with the horrendous US of A... but while this: "Along with Australia, it is one of only two CDI countries that have not signed the Kyoto Protocol." was true up until this year, our new prime minister ratified Kyoto pretty much as soon as he took power.

Hopefully we're on our way up.

Kyoto? Why would you celebrate another blow to your economy over a fictional weather crisis? I can see how you might be concerned about rising seas, living Down Under, but waters rising less than one foot in one hundred years should be manageable even by descendants of criminals.

I really hope your next president, who'd better be Obama and not... shudder, McCain, will be able to lift up your country, because the people that you QM, love so much are pulling the country, and the world, down, down down.

Unlike say, the UN, that wonderful band of Turd-World despots whose 12 years of resolutions against Saddam did nothing, or the Red Chinese harvesting the organs of their prisoners, or the new Euro-Muslim Union? All crap. I didn't weep over the fall of the soviet union, so the collapse of all the aforementioned wouldn't bother me either.

Any time I annoy a socialist, it's a good day. And I'm not even trying! All one has to do to upset left-wingers is declare love of America and/or believe in God.

right back atcha', monk.

Yay! Boomerangs are from *downunder!

Fusion reactors seems like one of those technologies that will be 20 years away from reality ... forever.
Latest stuff I've read about the tokamak is they still take in more energy than they produce. (though I enjoyed the cameo of a lookalike in Iron Man)
So it's not a matter of smaller fusion reactors- it's building ones that actually work as an energy source.


That's dependent on the temperature of the surrounding environment. If you build it on titan and use liquid methane from titan's ocean as coolant, you save a huge amount of energy on keeping the superconductors cold enough to superconduct. If the coolant fluid from outside was below the transition temperature of the superconductors, this would vastly improve the efficiency of the tokamak. Inventing superconductors with higher transition temperatures would allow a similar improvement. The biggest amount of waste in the tokamok is from the fact that you have a huge heat/radiation source surrounded by superconducting electromagnets that have to be kept at 50 Kelvin or below.

Thank the lord for space station freedom- I think it's safe to decommission now.
Seriously, what a white elephant - what kind of real scientific breakthroughs are we getting from space station alpha or freedom or whatever it's now called. I would much rather funding went to:
A) manned mission to mars
B) better/more space telescopes
C) More probes/rovers


I have to agree about the space station being something of a waste. I don't understand why we spent tons of money on the space station, without spending a ton of money trying to figure out how to get relatively cheap orbital lift first.

Aside from your B and C, I'd think NASA should be looking at every possible way to build a space elevator. If they could make that work, space would become a booming industry overnight.
