The gatling gun fires when the pilot smiles. THE GATLING GUN FIRES WHEN THE PILOT SMILES.
Who would stop smiling in that thing?

EDIT: Can it differentiate a smile and a maniac grin?

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

Read the comments on any Yahoo article.  They're guaranteed to cause despair.

On one hand, you probably share political axis with at least some of them(since all parties involved are being retarded), on the other you'd rather not be the same species as they are.

Sometimes I want to grab those people by the shoulders, start shaking them, and yell "STOP 'HELPING' ME".

If you want them to go away you'd be better off asking "Do you do anal?"

Not sure if this should go here or in Olympics thread, but there's a bunch of bizarro stories out of the Olympics.

Its WTF but quite routine, especially so for dedicated training programs. An athlete is only in their prime for maybe 2-3 Olympics(worse for things like gymnastics, which rely on the flexibility of youth rather than muscle power), so you want to get as much setup in as you can.

Being unable to train properly, or worse, having damaged morale would be pretty fatal to the chances of a medal. Considering how few shots they have at it.

Oh cool a Wheel of Time game
Quote
Red Eagle games announced today that they are taking new forward steps to produce multiple video games based on The Wheel of Time. The first game, which they hope to release in January around the time A Memory of Light is published, will be a "tactical RPG" called First Banner of the Rising Sun. It will be designed for Apple iOS and Google Android devices.

Red Eagle intends to fund this first game by running a Kickstarter campaign. This campaign, which goes live today, is seeking to raise $450,000 from fans interested in supporting their cause to produce Wheel of Time video games. Supporters will receive different incentives depending on how much they donate, such as exclusive in-game items, or (for big donators), their name and likeness somewhere in the game itself.

To produce the game, Red Eagle has partnered with Jet Set Games, the creators of the popular Highborn mobile game on iOS and Android.

First Banner of the Rising Sun will take place during the early days of the Aiel War. The player will control characters not seen in the books, but get the chance to fight against the hoards of Aiel invaders.

In the coming years, Red Eagle Games intends to publish a series of other video games for all major platforms

Wait, Red Eagle Games...
Quote from: Robert Jordan's last blog post
I hear things now and then floating out in the air.  For instance, I hear that word was floating about ComicsCon in San Diego that I am displeased with Red Eagle.  Too true.  Too very true.  In a few more months that last contract they have with anyone on God's green earth that so much as mentions my name will come to an end and we can see what happens after that.  You see, among other things they forgot an old dictum of LBJ back when he was just a Congressman from Texas, when he famously, or infamously, said "Don't spit in the soup. boys.  We all have to eat."  Worse, Red Eagle though they could tell me they spit in the soup, or pee in it, if they wanted to and there wasn't anything I could do to stop them.  You can't apologize your way out of that with me, not that they tried.  There isn't enough money in the world to buy your way out of it with me.  Not that they tried that either.  So they get no further help from me.  Once they are completely out of the picture, we'll see what happens.

Seems like the best place to put this.  With full recognition of the irony for calling it such, that is some seriously Mayberry-level bullshit.
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics.  Even if you win, you're still retarded.

Considering that he doesn't appear to link any outside information on the actual purchasing and distributing of the bullets....
