Duck!  (Somewhere after 2:30.)

I enjoy building flying machines, but I am not in the same class as this bird

Hands down my favorite bird.  There was a nesting pair on the ATC tower in Salt lake when I worked in the radar room there.  It wasn't uncommon for them to nail pigeons in our parking lot.

About 4 seconds of that and I was ready to hurl.

Dang, that bird moves!  Listen to the sound of the slipstream.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Over 200mph in a dive.  They intercept their food mid-flight and kill it by hitting it so hard.

Recalling from my childhood interest, it's 230 mph as a top speed.

230 mph. Fastest living thing until about 80 or so years ago.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Comments were already banned on it, I'm sure the bunny humpers flame anyone who posts falconry vids.
