I just saw "Casino" again, with Robert de Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci. Now that's a good movie ! :thumbup:

Unlike most children my age i support drinking of alcoholic beverages...
I also argue with my dog over my favorite seat in the house...

Boo! I don't want my liver falling out but whatever.

To diogom, she was hit by a car on a dark country road. The lady who hit and killed her though, is just in post-traumatic shock. She's almost completely lifeless I've been told.

I actually found out today that that guy moved to Angola, not France. Even hardest moving, I guess.
Post-traumatic stress, lifeless, ouch. That must be as bad as death itself.

Drinking, that's something I'm sure I won't get into. Beer, tryed once, hated. Same with wine. Somehow, it seems I'm "coded" to not like that kind of stuff. Like smoking. I personnaly don't see how destroying your lungs can be good, and not even paid a lot I would try it.

I saw drinking and smoking kill my uncle. I'm not about to let it kill me.

I love this coincidences. Hearing Supermassive Black Hole, Muse, and went to see the replays of STS-134's launch from different cameras. And just as Matt sings "You set my soul alight", boom, SSME ignition. Sometimes I think I should try the lottery and see if my luck persisted. :lol:

 

[Eli13]

Haha nice!

Having a family history of ADD, depression, and alcoholism on my mother's side, I don't plan to start drinking any time soon. I might possibly only on holidays when I'm older, kinda like how I have soda and junk food now.

 

[Eli13]

Ummm... ok
Anyways, its been a slow tuesday....

 

[diogom]

Not slow for the Shuttle :lol:. Watching ISS live on Ustream now.

 

[Eli13]

Of course not. I was referring to add-ons

EDIT: BTW i am too!

 

[diogom]

Well, you had several fixes from N_Molson for his (awesome) Roscosmos lander.

 

[Eli13]

Well, I haven't really followed that thread in a while...

 

[diogom]

You watching on Ustream? If you are, guess who's the GagarinKomarov?

 

[Eli13]

you must be on another one, send me the link.

 

[diogom]

http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv Kinda got boring now, just pics of the Earth.
I prefer this one to NASA's website, because Ustream's live stuff are at least 20s ahead of NASA's website. At least it was 2 weeks ago.

 

[Eli13]

I was in a different ustream. Same ISS :lol: but different camera

 

[Spacethingy]

Awwwww no, I'm going to be in an exam when they dock!

My phone calendar insists on rescheduling everything to March...

My grandfather died today at the age of 86, from natural causes. He was afflicted by the Alzheimer disease.

Born in 1923, he had a well-filled life. He made studies of philosophy in France, during the WWII, under the Nazi occupation. That wasn't something easy. After the war, he was tax controller.

He will have seen the best and the worse of the technological progress of mankind during the XXth century. The progressive role of the automobiles as an usual transportation tool, the fantastic adventure of aeronautics, from the first commercial airlines to Apollo and that day of July 1969, the Concorde and the Space Shuttle, but also the scary progress in weaponry, from the machinegun to the thermonuclear warheads. The medical progress, that allowed the population of Earth to boom in 80 years. The political progresses, though slower than others, also made their way, death sentence was abolished in France (1981) and in other countries. The end of Appartheid in South Africa, Gandhi's movement in India, Martin Luther King, and those people that changed the face of the world. He witnessed all that.

He was catholic, but I think he lost a part of his faith during the WWII, as a lot of intellectuals.

May him Rest in Peace.

That sucks.
But BTW the machine gun was invented before 1923, it was used quite often (with devastating results) during WWI.
