An Osprey Men-at-Arms book (of the rather old variety), called "The American Provincial Corps 1775-1784". Inside this book they provide a coloured plate for a private of the regiment in 1780, and of course provide information regarding the unit. Actually, looking about it now, I've come across a...

Sounds like fun. However, the patrol ships are unnecessary. Given that the waterways are frozen over most of the time, and when they aren't, the water kills in minutes. Why not simply build them some nice huts, and then not supply them with jackets? They won't last that long outside in jumpsuits...

;DIndeed!! On a similar note, I wonder how much alcohol and drug induced hallucinations play into the sightings?

One day while I was researching mythical creatures at school, I came across a description of the elves from Danish mythology. They were described as being short, of light skin, with large eyes and heads, and rather long limbs. On a darker note, there is the reference from German mythology...

I've had quite a few of those. Fairly disturbing, at least most that I've experienced, although some were kinda cool. Haven't seen Satan, though. An alien, however? Yes, followed one around, which was neat. It tried to show me something in the woods. It was very hospitable. One thing that I've...

Hmm. Even with work I have time for this: Music - I have over 100 cds and 60 cassettes and play the guitar, and own a harmonica and recorder. Listening to the Pixies as I write. Reading - I have more books than I have shelf space, so my newest tomes find a home between my stereos (yes...

I too would like to thank you all. An enjoyable, and educational experience for me, too. I've lurked around here since my days in Jr. High, so - thanks, again.

O Career and Life Management class! What time you save! INTJ - civilian at the ripe old age of 17. Another test I had resulted in me being classified as a Green/Gold personality (Creative/Organised). Here be the test (just in case you care): http://www.truecolorscareer.com/quiz.asp

What about the Saab Gripen, instead of the JSF?

Economic left/right: -5.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82 Gee, further left the the NDP, ugh.  :crybaby: At least I'm in the company of Gandhi :) A different test I took in grade ten gave me a result of 49/100, thereby qualifying me as a centrist. Despite the former result, I still...

Anyone have a pic of the helmet in the War Museum's Cold war display? "F*** Peace"

It is believed that they did.

Ah, shite!! Sorry everyone. I didn't mean it in regards to that. I had thought somebody had written about ignoring their taxes earlier due to the adscam. I was referring to that, not the estate taxes. For the record I believe in Work-for-Welfare, and I hereby retire from this thread in...

Oh yes, and this too, http://aog.2y.net/forums/index.php?s=584a34d836c56dc1a4aed2d8c8bed659&showtopic=1550 It's the same thing from above, but with different pics and an introduction. About the Australians being bought by China, the Americans have a similar feeling regarding China's shopping...

Doesn't seem like some South Korean children have much affection for the Japanese: http://aog.2y.net/forums/index.php?s=584a34d836c56dc1a4aed2d8c8bed659&showtopic=1558

Yes, in fact I do plan on retiring someday, lest I be fortunate with a job I could tolerate, if not enjoy, until I die. In such a situation as a world without such taxes, could not the question also be: "Do you plan on working one day, or do you intend to live in retirement for your whole life?"...

The issue is the very top of American society being able to continue living in wealth without having to create any wealth. If you'd like governments to disengage so people can work on their own projects, removing such laws will result in the opposite. The people in society with the best ability...

Here's an excerpt from a book by a person who undoubtedly knows more about the subject than I do: "Yes, a family farmer should be able to pass his farm down to his children. Fortunately, that hasn't been a problem. As the law existed before Bush took office, family farms had a $2.6 million...

The provincial and Federal governments have handled this very poorly. They could have used this as an opportunity to increase Canada's self-sufficiency, and help rural communities, by trying to get more slaughterhouses and packing facilities constructed. The unemployment rate amoung Alberta...

Personally, I'd be shocked if he wasn't thinking of being PM himself. Perhaps with Belinda in the Lib cabinet, he could use that as an entry point.
