TERMINATOR!!!!!! ahhh!!!

And the military always gets first dibs on all new technology.
There is something WRONG with that concept!
:barf:
 
Is there? It is because of our military that we have nearly ALL the technology that we enjoy. And very definately the sole reason we have the oportunity to enjoy it. From what civilian development do you suppose microwave ovens came? Military radar. Your cell phone? GPS receivers? microcircuitry for pacemakersand hearing aids and, well heck, how about the lowly transistor? Where do you think our computer technology came from? Bill Gates didn't invent it. The internet? It wasn't Al Gore, regardless of his claim. Nearly every field you can think of has been improved through military research. Even the ability to fly a plane at night and in all kinds of weather. Ever seen scuba gear? Military all the way. Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Now we have rebreathers. Wet suits? Fiber optics for phone lines? How bout the digital instruments in your car or watch? The food you eat that stays fresh so long in a can. Oh, and let's not forget advanced ceramics, fibers like kevlar and carbon fiber, and titanium that lets surgeons rebuild destroyed bodies, aluminum? Heck, duraluminum was a way baby in WWII. Jellybeans? Invented for soldiers in the Civil War. Want more?
 
Codger, aren't you putting the horse before the cart here?????
Those things were invented by CITIZENS for crying out loud, and the military got first dibs at those technologies!
Tell you what, let's arm-wrestle!
Hee hee hee
Of course you know that I am pulling your leg with that last bit, you old coot, you.
(I didn't want to feel like the ONLY dinosaur in here!)

O.K., I'm back. Feel much better when I've had my meds and the nurse gives me a sponge bath.Now where was I? Oh yes.

Besides, when the energy in the tornado disipates sufficiently for the house to return to earth, the mass of the structure would cause it to accelerate at
the usual 32 ft per second/per second and it's impact with the surface of
Munchkinland would certainly cause the collapse of the woodframe farmhouse
killing not only the witch upon which it landed but the girl and dog in the
bedroom.

Actually, the aliens have already landed. We just don't know it yet. ;)

Ohhhh Noooo! Do they have monobrows and slash cop's tires? Tell me it ain't so!
 
Dang, did I actually say "putting the horse before the cart?"
Had it ass-backwards and I suppose the early arrival of dementia and senility is a comfort to some as a means of excuse.
Huh? What did I say?

The Devil made me do it.
Dang, here we go again.
