LONG LIVE RED CHINA (Would you like your troll mein with soft or crispy noodles?)

China will never go down, and don't think you can banish communism. Because the people won't let it. They know they are the last standing, they are the only ones left. America is in a decline while China's climaxing, America will go down. We are just done with our prime, if anything, we were going into a depression since 1992 (and don't say you don't know that year). Communism is the American's medias' worst nightmare, because of censorship. I hope we all have to read one newspaper and wipe my butt with one brand of tiolet paper. I hope we all die for our next generations to wear the red armband. We deserved 9/11, and they enjoyed it. You probably hate me now, I know, you just still think like its 1945, well too bad its 2005. We only stand to fall.

It's a big door...It has a nice lean to it...and it's a good conversations starter!

I'm not awake either. You've got mail.

I've seen that skeletal articulation before. As you study it, you'll see that the brain case is a bit small for our dragons, that there is no crystalline segment for piezoelectric generation, and that the chest cavity in the shoulder area is not properly developed for the strength of wing needed.

My design changes deal with those functions, as well as integrating the internal combustion mechanism which powers the wing stroke.

I want the dragons to be intelligent enough to converse, and powerful enough to be independent. They should choose to associate with us because of mutually beneficial economic reasons.

Jeebus!!! What ever you do... don't puch the blue button on the side. I'll be there to pick it up in a few minutes.

[Dead Corpse]

Good Morning Tulip!

Hi DC! Unfortunately my quick FR break must come to an end so I can get back to work. (I can't allow myself to FReep and dissertate at the same time. LOL!) I hope to be back later in the day. :-)

See ya!

I like the idea of a hydrogen bladder for partial lift. Less strain imposed on the skeletal system and makes some of the other engineering easier. They can also be much more well muscled this way giving them more utility on the ground. Like some other larger sauropods, it could be engineered to have a "satellite" brain in the rear haunches that would free up the forebrain for higher cognition.

I'm thinking something of a cross between McCaffrey's Pern dragons and the proto-typical AD&D types. With just a bit of dinosaur tossed in as we already have a certain amount of genetic material to work with in the bio-archives.

[Dead Corpse]

Yeah... I've got a bunch of stuff I need to be doing as well. Can't seem to work up the motivation to do it though.

In the words of Mao:
"Everything belongs to the people, but stay out of my swimming pool." So ends the lesson.

Hey, got any Crusader Rabbit pictures?

What "while China's climaxing". That explains the tsunami.

[Tax-chick]

OH, very clever!

[Tax-chick]

Thanks! The 24th is my "goal date," makes me feel like I'm in control, even though I know that's nonsense :-).

"I hope we all die for our next generations to wear the red armband. We deserved 9/11, and they enjoyed it."

You fool, have you learned nothing from the Rape Of Nanjing.

Look again. Out in the nether lands of China the same terrorists that brought 911 are moving into China. They are planning, they are patient.

You are not immune. You are on their list. Already a few hundred Chinese have already been killed in violence connected to Islamic terrorist. Didn't you hear about it in your communist wonderland, maybe the Peoples Rulers just forget to put it in your one daily paper.

[Monkey Face]

Er...the blue button? What about the green one? *looking frantic* Hurry, OK!

[Monkey Face]

What do we feed the dragon, then? U-Know What pellets? (Like rabbit pellets...)

The Capitalist Manifesto


"The key to explaining capitalism's unparalleled economic success is dual: to show that it alone is the system that guarantees individual liberties, and to demonstrate that political liberty is an indispensable requirement of man's life on earth."
— Andrew Bernstein

At least you have SOME control: You can change the tagline each day...

[Tax-chick]

That's right!
