The games seem to imply they're a loyalist splinter of a traitor legion actually...


Although i see how having an unknown primarch might make people think of the missing legions...

The Norwegian cod record was just broken. A boy took a cod weighing 39 kilos. The funny thing is that the boy weighs 4 kilos less ... :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravoux's_slavemaker_ant

Youch :| evil ant.
Wikipedia wrote:Ravoux's slavemaker ant (Epimyrma ravouxi) is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. It is endemic to France. The queen will fake death to entice ants from another colony to drag her back to their nest, where she awakens and kills the nest's original queen. She will then wrap herself in the dead queen's carapace, and will begin producing eggs. The slavemaker ants then overrun the colony and then find a new colony to take over.

If the pic wasn't upside down, it wouldn't look like the devil's face, now would it? And the media wouldn't be able to write that scary headline on their front page ... ;)

It's an aerial photo... there's no up and down unless you're talking about zoom.

We're talking about the good old "rotate image" feature. What are you talking about? :D

Rocket science apparently...

It's a picture taken from above, so there's no up or down for what's in it.

Only part of it is an aerial view, other parts of the picture are numbers and stuff. Those are upside down. Look closely and you'll notice.

But he wasn't referring to the numbers being upside down enabling the media to have scarier headlines...

How not to drive ...

The guy backed out of the parking facility. Trouble was, the exit was in front of him. The wall was behind him. :D

I still think we are screwing up the climate.... but a fun little video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAlMomLv ... r_embedded

And I know a lot of you guys have seen a surprising number of old American TV shows. Don't know if you ever heard of Carol Burnett, but I grew up with her variety / comedy skit show. As aired, it was always squeeky clean 'Family' humor. Although, sometimes, one would wonder why the audience was laughing so hard....
