Earlobes really do it for me. Nipples suck Vale

I think it'll be fun until a balloon fails and someone gets killed falling from 50 feet up. Cheers, Vale

I believe this thread belongs in SC! Vale

Ei, che cosa intendi amico mio? spiega ti I was referring to this thread http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1643402;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread I think it says it all about his attitude. Fortunately his 'personal rules' do not apply to this forum.

Like somebody pointed out in previous posts, security cameras have a slow frame rate (aroung several seconds per frame), the chances of catching such a fast object are abismally slim. And even if you did all you'd have is basically a still image of a flying object. This lack of footage is probably due to a form of 'observational bias', such as "In NY at any time there is a high number of people carrying and using handycams, the surroundings of the Pentagon on the other hand are not so hot tourist-wise, hence the lack of people walking around it carrying handycams". This explains the lack of footage, which has nothing to do with the event itself. Cheers, Vale

So? Do you have some comment to make on that story? If you thought it important enough to post, I would think that you have something to say about it. Perhaps he should have started with the explaining_all_introduction: "In the news" like others do many times? You got it worng as usual What's really missing is some pointless final comment such as 'You go colonel!' Vale

Here you go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Pentagonfireball.jpg Vale

Too right. Unless you believe in reincarnation it'd be a good trick. This would add new meaning to the word 'perseverance'.

No natural enemies... except us. Humans kill a hell of a lot more sharks every year than sharks kill humans. You have a better chance of dying from a bee sting than a shark bite. There are seafaring bees? Vale

Does this mean that all military groups (government paid) are required to have distinct uniforms? Precisely. If you are captured on enemy territory while wearing your army's uniform you are a POW and have to be treated accordingly (i.e. you cannot be killed in cold blood once you have surrendered). If you are dressed in civvies or even worse a uniform not of your army's you forfeited your POW status. Usually you are considered a spy and possibly face a death sentence. Cheers, Valentino

Ron, do you think that Mass should be still celebrated in Latin despite the fact that that language has not been spoken by any people for more than a thousand years? When the Catholic Church allowed all religious ceremonies to be celebrated in the current language it did nothing but adapt to current society, albeit somewhat late Even moral issues are not as immune from change as one may think. While it is true that taking someone's life is still agaisnt the basic principles of Christian morality, on the other hand the Catholic Church used to condemn the lending of money at an interest as immoral. As a result all financing used to be done by non Christian people, mostly the Jews. Ironically, asking for a loan was not considered immoral as long as the person lending the money was not Catholic! Otherwise one would have committed the sin of leading a fellow Christian into temptation. Nowadays the Catholic Church even has a bank of its own!! Religions and Churches do change, those that don't sooner or later become extinct. Cheers, Vale Edited for spelling

"You sexy thing" by Hot Chcolate. Ever see "Full Monty"? Vale

This makes no sense to me. It is illegal to use deadly force just to defend some property yet it is perfectly legal to threaten to do so in the same circumstances? Even if we set the legal issue aside, what would your threat sound like: I know I cannot shoot you for stealing my wallet and if I do I am certainly going to jail, but if you do not give it back I am going to kill you with this gun I am waving in your face right now? Can anybody NOT see the contradiction in this statement? Vale

Now this is a load of BS if I ever saw one. Pointing a gun at somebody cannot be considered a threat because the hammer is not cocked?? So what if somebody points a gun at me and I pull my gun and shoot him claiming self defense, but then it turns out HIS gun was not cocked? Does that make my claim at self defense baseless? What if the gun is a signle action? Am I supposed to ask the guy to stand still while I check his gun's make and model and then ask an expert if I am not sure whether that gun is single or double action (or both)? If this is the best line of defense he can come up with (besides claiming he is being targeted as a scapegoat) I'm sure he'll have a pretty hard time in court. Cheers, Vale

I was thinking the same thing, it looks like Australia we have lots of guys who do those sorts of speed all the time. I own a 26 year old bike specifically so I CAN'T do that. 'Cause I would if i could. Nope, not Australia. Aussies insist on driving on the wrong side of the road That means road signs are on the left side of the road for better visibility, the left turn sign in the picture would be on the wrong side. Also I do not think they have a yellow centerline down under. Definitely not Europe (wrong kind of sign), I guess somewhere in the Americas. Cheers. Vale

Couple of mules? To carry all the stuff people have suggested so far, that is Vale

I can do better. I'll set fire to someone's lawnmower while driving a hybrid car!

Come on guys!!!! cheer up!!!!! One country less to share the oil with! Anyway, does it really matter? i mean, European standards for military are so low the italian would only get in the way of your bullets. ... and as additionally Italian tanks are equipped with 1 forward- und 5 reverse gears... let them go home and enjoy life Hold your horses everyone! Our Prime Minister and master of hypocrisy extraoidinaire is already denying he ever said that. I'm suprised there are still people who listen to what he says, both home and abroad. Cheers, Valentino

Interesting article, but rather out of date (by years). I believe the market share for diesel cars in Eruope is well over 50% by now. Ironically, Ford Europe is now delivering its cars with diesel engines as standard, conventional engines are still available but only on request , with the price of gasoline skyrocketing you'd have to be crazy (and rich) to actually ask for one! Cheers, Valentino

Well, as they have taught it to me Christianity is based upon the New AND the Old Testament. Sometimes people just as conveniently forget about the latter. Vale Edited for spelling.

Definitely fake. You could never "train" a real cat into acting out such a complex scene. The most you can get a cat to do on camera is run towards some food or milk, that is only if it thinks it was gonna to anyway and it's not actually taking orders from anyone

No, don't. It's actually a string of insults and I was having you on! Oops, too late [just kidding ] I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor. Who knows, I might be seeing you both at my home dz one day. Ciao. Vale

Hope this helps. By the way, as you probably already know "Porta rossa" means "Red door". I was wondering whether this had some relation with the product or it just sounded good. Ciao. Valentino

I hope you didn't have all that in a single meal ! By the way, I'm as Italian as they come but have no idea what "Fettuccine Alfredo" even looks like. Probably something you bloody Americans made up yourselves Valentino

I voted no. This is what you get if you mess with "the family". Valentino
