Lol, my friend didn't ask a girl his age, it turned out he slepped with a 17 year old and broke the law. He had no clue and was freaked out when she told him later.

Ouch, just ouch... this security guard must think he is a bull.

Yeah, when I first saw the new pope... he sorta reminded me of Emperor Palpatine.

Though I don't think he looks like a pedo. In my opinion you can't judge one by looks. Ted Bundy just looked like some regular country hick, but he was eating people. Himmler had an air to him though... but then again that was post war dialog.

Oh and just about every male youth was in the Hitler Youth, it was advocated for forced on many.

Banana, I'm sure if she got to know you that she'd like to peel you open. jk

In all seriousness, if you like the girl then you should really tell her. You may end up regretting not telling her that you like her, or ask her on a date. Now, I understand that asking to the beach or asking her at all would seem troublesome. But if you don't ask her then you are doing nothing, besides going to the beach is a normal thing. I doubt she'll think it a perverted method. It only becomes viewed as perverted if you come on to her like some pervert. Just be yourself and be honest, if you want to be more comfortable, then practice your delivery. It will likely work out if you just try.

If she has a boyfriend, then don't fret. It's life, if she ever breaks up with him then she may think about you and end up asking you out later instead. Besides, I think she'll be flattered to have a guy ask her out in the first place.

As for being part of the undying... hmm, to be honest I think it isn't worth it. You live long and all, but people around you die sooner then you, including loved ones. Also as you grow old you tend to suffer more and degenerate. As much as I would like to live a long healthy life, I certainly don't want to live a long life of pain and become incapable of sustaining myself. But that's just my opinion.

good luck with that custodian... just be weary if the guy later down the road starts asking for increasingly higher rums of money or expenses.

looking good bobby

came across this. It's a brazilian prototype tank called the Osorio. It was cancelled, but a nice find alongside my quest for that one american prototype...

no this isn't edited, the turret really was that huge, It's the second turret from the image above.

Yeah, also tanks tend to break down a lot. Take the German Tiger Tank. They were amongst the best tanks in the world, but they broke down a lot because they had so many parts. They'd have to be refitted and maintained every few miles. I think the average mentioned was that they'd have a breakdown about ever 40-50 miles of land coverage. A Stark contrast to the Russian who had too few parts in their tanks (needed to be maintained every 300 miles, but were noisy and clunky) while a Sherman can go for thousands of miles, but was easy to destroy (they easily caught fire) and were incapable of matching either German nor Russian tanks. One American tank pilot once commended on how his unit and his entire crew were killed by a single ace Tank commander (turned out this ace was the most famous tank driver in German history) and although he shot at it, evaded it, then flanked it, and then again shot at his Tiger 1, all that tank had to do was turn it's muzzle, and fire. His entire crew was killed and he was fortunate to survive. His own shots had bounced off the German tank armor, but the German cannon tore into his tank easily.

Odd misconception about French tanks, they were actually superior to German tanks, but they didn't see much use in the war and so many were destroyed from Ariel bombardments. yet they managed to destroy a considerable number of German tanks and proved their own armor was superior. A shame really.

The program I watched was either the history channel or the discovery. Problem with the tank I'm looking for is that it was never picked up or massed produced. It was only a prototype and it got chosen over because of the M1 Abrams, then the Leopard came out thus no one wanted it because it was slightly more expensive and harder to maintain. I've been going nuts trying to find it. I've been to tank sites, museum sites... no one has any info on this one tank. I guess this is what happens with prototype tanks, they just disappear from memory. Sort of like Canadian Jet fighters, you never hear of the weapons the canadians were making even though they were very impressive weapons.

Hahaha, I like that. That is what the Candian army should start investing in. G Gundam joke

I'm pretty sure this vid has it, granted it's been 3 years since I've seen it. But the video did go over it's competition with other tanks, right? Then again you may be right amd I'm sorry if it is in fact the incorrect video.

The tank I mentioned was a very dark tank that when viewed you can see it's two treads helping to adjust the height of the tanks main body. It looked pretty rugged and not as sleep as the Abrams.

I'm still trying to hunt it down and post any info or pics I come accross. I put aside what I was doing and been at it for hours already.

I found the 7 part video where this tank is mentioned and seen in action in.

But I don't have the patience to watch the whole thing over when I busy researching and altering this one wiki article.

One of my most popular Youtube vids that I posted. It's the "Surf the web! Surf the Web!" moment with Venom.

They had one Anime that actually did a cool redesign of how a Tank could be in the future. Looking at it today, it was a pretty badass tank that could take on mech's and exo-skeletal armors.

Metal Skin Panic Madox-01 featured the that tank as the weapon of choice for a Psychotic Tank Pilot who hates mech designs and wishes to prove their superiority to mechs. So he takes a 4 legged prototype mini tank (each leg has tank treads and named the "Baby Turtle") and starts hunting down the kid trapped inside his robotic Madox armor despite his orders and the unnecessary and unwarranted destruction of everything along the way.

Actually, the design and function of the tank is in many way similar to a real life Tank that was only made into a prototype for the US armor. It was beaten out by the Abrams tank, but this tank still had advantaged over conventional tanks. It could increase and decrease it's height and do some pretty nifty shots as a result. The tank in the Anime is able to do that and much more, but it's small so it manages to go fight in urban areas and enclosed spaces, as well as being incredibly fast and agile thanks to it's design. The flaws of course are that it's small size and open cockpit are a danger to the pilot. I can totally see a small single man tanks in the future being designed as Urban combat tanks that can support infantry and act like mobile artillery (thanks to it's methods of changing it's elevation) for shelling urban positions.

careful what you wish for buddy. If machines did everything for us... we humans who get bored and lead to our own destruction. Or that is what the animematrix claims.

Oh and one fo the better scenes from Front Mission 4. Ironic that I love this scene because they are actually attacking my native Portugal's island territory.

Oh and the so incredibly badass intro for the same game.

yeah, that is obviously true. What I really lack these days is resolve/will and confidence to do things. You can call it a lack of hope or whatnot, though it isn't that, just tiresome of people around me who don't change. So all I can do is attempt to throw myself back into the workforce. I often now wonder if I'm still mentally fit or just whiny/weak as a person.

For example, they had a guy on Oprah (normally I don't watch, but they had bill Cosby and issues of blacks in society) who's mother and brother were murdered, and he was about to be shot until he begged for his life and for god. The killer was the mothers lover (not sure if he was the biological father) He was let go and ran into a house, and later ended up going to college and is about to graduate despite his past and proven statistics. Now that is a guy who did great things despite his tragedy, and me... well here I am acting like a loser.

So tomorrow, I'm going to get my finances ready for the next months rent, get some supplies and rework my resume (I lack MS word, so I'm going to buy it tomorrow) and start posting it up on websites in hopes that a job finds me instead of me just hunting for what isn't there. I'm taking this guys example and going to ignore my moms promises and just work my life no matter how much my mom messes herself up.

If my mom wants her boyfriend to live with us, he's going to have to chip in with rent and everything. I'm not paying for another freeloader.

lol yeah, A person like me can always dream of being happy and married.

Manipulation has never been my thing. Never was good at it, and didn't care to be good at it. Maybe I should be more conniving.

Yes, the movie is a classic. They've had two other immitators over the years, G Gundam (goofy carbon copy of the plot in Anime form and Gundam brandname... and dare I say just as bad acted in english dub?) and Robo Warriors (live action movie) which triggered my memories from watching Robot Jox when I saw it in portugal (I was 4 at the time).

I must be thinking wrong decade. lol

Yeah, that is a nice idea, but I wonder how your body absorbs all of it. People have been trying with vitamins for ages, and with almost nothing to show for it. Even if you were to condense it all into one pill, would it be harmful in some ways? If I recall correctly, too much of one protein is harmful, and even though you have that pill, you eat something bad, it could push your body over the edge or poison you (like too much iron in a diet). Then again, I'm probably thinking in archaic form and ideas.

it's a nice read, and there is good reason to research it. In fact, with the research you could solve lots of problems like loss of bone mass from weightlessness in outer space. Make humans durable enough to survive in harsh areas for colonization, and turn human beings into deadly biological warriors.

The flaw is that no one has ever managed to do it correctly. They tried back in the 1970's with disastrous results. They figured just changing the DNA and pumping that altered DNA back into a person would do the trick. But usually it ended up killing people. They failed to realise that proteins had to be changed along with the DNA. The DNA is the blueprint and the Proteins are the building blocks and tools to make a good DNA blue print. Problem is managing to alter DNA and proteins without killing a person.

The best option is to create a person from scratch with the altered DNA, basically test tube babies. Problem with that is that it's so complex that and dangerous that what we create may likely end up as a "Mistake", a human life form incapable of living, thinking, or full of various defects.

It will take decades before we can perfect most of this stuff.

Thanks Ryuki.

As much as many of us hate Bush Jr. He is none the less comedy gold.

Thanks for the compliments, but like I said before, I'm not that worthy. lol.

I've often wondered what I'd do if I had the option. A part of me really wants to live long. I'll get to see time pass by and maybe stay in touch with those you like. What attracts me the most is that I will still be able to learn new things, to study and teach. Of course, if I could surf the web and play videogames for eternity.... now that would be especially cool too.

But there are things that don't change, you may still have to see love ones come and go, live and die. Some may not accept you for what you've become. Although you are no longer flesh and blood, chances are you'll still have to worry (provided you even still have emotion and the capability to do anything) about your health. Do I need a new body, is my OS no better then windows Vista? Do I have backup for my memory and and functions... least I become a virtual vegetable like one would in real life from brain failure. What if I still have to make an income in this form to support myself? Will the bill run up and eventually my power supply cut off? Then there are the doctor's.... err technician bill to keep my running smoothly. Then I'd have to worry about interaction, how would I communicate, or hell, if I can go on the web, how do I avoid scammers, porn, and virtual STD's (viruses of course) from a cookie browser I fell in love with.

For all the good, there is the bad. Last think I want in such a place is to have to share a virtual hard drive with psychotic Christopher Walkin and a FPS Dick Chaney (we'll shoot me in the back while playing Halo 9 and claim it was a hunting accident, no less.) from beyond the grave.

I was actually hoping that his fatality would be sort of like his scene from the animated Return of the Joker Movie. The safety gun joke and how he killed Bonk was funny and evil too.

yes, I heard that about the remake. I have to admit, the movies weren't great, bit I really love the robot and it's voice actor's very lively and well done personality. I think only R2-D2 and Wall-E have earned as much love from me when it comes to robotics.

As a kid I always wondered about how it would be in a future when your mind is placed in a machine. Technichally you still die, because your body and mind dies. But your memories and possibly your personality may still remain in a machine. Though I have no clue when that will be possible. At best, we can only map and make a blueprint of your mind so far. But it's still a very cool concept.

With this technology you could possibly keep someone on par like Einstein around for centuries still helping humanity. But then again, you can preserve a monster like Stalin or a madman like Hitler around for eternity and cause endless conflict.
