Rodents, one of several kinds of vertebrates included in the human diet, are very suitable as human food. More than 71 genera and 89 species of rodents, mostly hystricomorphs, have been consumed by man. Some have even been domesticated for private or commercial production of food for human consumption. Rodents in the temperate world serve only as a supplement to the regular diet of humans; but in the tropical world, they are widely accepted and a popular source of protein.

- Miscellaneous: No matter how futuristic the weapon design, guns are not able to shoot bullets capable of "penetrating the fourth, and most of the fifth, dimension."

It goes by many names: "The Crisis," "The Dark Years," "The Walking Plague," as well as newer and more "hip" titles such as "World War Z" or "Z War One." I personally dislike this last moniker as it implies an inevitable "Z War Two." For me, it will always be "The Zombie War," and while many may protest the scientific accuracy of the word zombie, they will be hardpressed to discover a more globally accepted term for the creatures that almost caused our extinction. Zombie remains a devastating word, unrivaled in its power to conjure up so many memories or emotions, and it is these memories, and emotions, that are the subject of this book.
This record of the greatest conflict in human history owes its genesis to a much smaller, much more personal conflict between me and the chairperson of the United Nation's Postwar Commission Report. My initial work for the Commission could be described as nothing short of a labor of love. My travel stipend, my security access, my battery of translators, both human and electronic, as well as my small, but nearly priceless voice activated transcription "pal" (the greatest gift the world's slowest typist could ask for), all spoke to the respect and value my work was afforded on this project. So, needless to say, it came as a shock when I found almost half of that work deleted from the report's final edition.
Standard helicopters are that rare Trapper Keeper doodle that actually worked. (...) The main hurdle was controlling the damn thing: Every time they tried to build one, the body of the air craft would spin right along with the blades. But by WWII, the Germans had finally done it, using a second propeller to create helicopters that could safely fly from point A to point B. Hitler looked at the package of bad assery, and decided that the whole thing just wasn't quite crazy enough. And so the Nazis decided to spice things up with a bunch of ramjet engines.

"Even the most die-hard Terminator fan would have to admit the storyline feels like a shameless and not particularly inspired retread of Terminator 2" Empire Magazine 2009
The idea is for a soldier to dispatch a swarm of these “Ember” bots to scout out a possibly-hostile building, instead of sending a single, large Packbot. Once inside, the Embers would set up an ad-hoc wireless network, and then autonomously scurry around the floor (kind of like iRobot’s Roomba vaccum cleaning automaton). Tiny flippers will help them vault over objects. Cameras will beam the scene back to the G.I.
[Sarah Connor] has completed its run. I think it had a nice little run. It was a good show. It was not an either or [with Dollhouse]. We did see it tailing off a bit [in the ratings]. It had a nice creative core, but, ultimately, we made the bet on Dollhouse, so that's it for [Sarah Connor]... We make no apologies. We gave it a lot of support and some consistent scheduling. We tried and thought it was time to move on.
Kyle had just entered the lab and switched on the first couple of computers and machines, when he noticed a flash outside. He stepped to the window and saw the trees outside swinging in gushes of wind. Looking down to the courtyard in front of the building, a piercing blue light in the bushes a few meters away from the building fell into his eyes. It was blinking in short bursts. "What is it," he wondered, when he noticed Zack's trademark red jacket moving towards the light source. What is he up to?
After hasting down the twelve flights of stairs to the ground floor, Kyle exited the building breathing heavily and started towards where Zack was kneeling now. Zack was looking down at something, but Kyle couldn't see exactly what it was while he was jogging towards the undergrowth which obscured his view. Stepping over a final hedge, Kyle could finally make out that Zack had put his right hand on a globe the size of a bowling ball. It was dark blue and nowhere near as bright as when Kyle first noticed it from the lab. Maybe whatever it had emanated then had now subsided.
Zack picked up the globe and held it closer to his face. It didn't seem heavy. "Hey, what is that?", Kyle asked, but at first got no reaction from Zack, whose eyes were fixed on the globe.
"Did you see how bright that was before?"
"It wasn't bright, it was active. It isn't now," Zack replied.
"So you know what that is?"
"What we've been looking for," Zack said, smiling and finally turning his face towards Kyle who was standing above him with his hands to his hips. But even though Zack was looking straight into Kyle's eyes, his face seemed distracted, as if the globe didn't allow his attention to be divided. His smile was weak and quivering slightly.
I remember his face clearly. For this look of distractedness and distance, as if something was pulling at him and sucking him out, didn't leave him, until the very end.
I just wish we didn't--neither looked for it, nor found it. I'm pretty sure Kyle agrees, and Zack too, even though Zack is far past agreeing to anything now.
I know the purpose of theatrical trailers is to get everyone interested in the film, but I have a feeling this movie isn't the fast paced on the run from cannibals, fire storm, kaboom, pow! flick the trailer makes it out to be - and it shouldn't be. The story is, at its heart, about a man and a boy and holding on to their last shreds of hope while encountering the darkest sides of humanity. It is not an end of the world catastrophe flick that puts a father and son on a fast-paced adventure.
German actor Götz Otto will step in the boots of the intelligence officer Klaus Adler, a fanatic Moon Nazi devoted on invading the Earth. Otto has previously appeared in numerous feature films and tv-series, including attempting to kill James Bond as Mr. Stamper in the film Tomorrow Never Dies...
The other two new cast members attached to Iron Sky are also from Germany. Veteran actor Tilo Prückner (The Neverending Story) will design the wunderwaffe of the Fourth Reich as the Nazi scientist Doktor Richter. The legendary Udo Kier (Dogville, Blade, Shadow of the Vampire) will appear as the Nazi Moon base commander Wolfgang Höss.
Before the sun burned, before the planets formed, there were chaos and the comets.
Chaos was a local thickening in the interstellar medium. Its mass was great enough to attract itself, to hold itself, and it thickened further. Eddies formed. Particles of dust and frozen gas drifted together, and touched, and clung. Flakes formed, and then loose snowballs of frozen gases. Over the ages a whirlpool pattern developed, a fifth of a light year across. The center contracted further. Local eddies, whirling frantically near the center of the storm, collapsed to form planets.
It formed as a cloud of snow, far from the whirlpool's axis. Ices joined the swarm, but slowly, slowly, a few molecules at a time. Methane, ammonia, carbon dioxide; and sometimes denser objects struck it and embedded themselves, so that it held rocks, and iron. Now it was a single stable mass. Other ices formed, chemicals that could only be stable in the interstellar cold.
It was four miles across when the disaster came.
Liv Tyler in talks to star in Joseph Kahn's adaptation of "Neuromancer," based on the seminal novel by William Gibson.
The terror of it is in a normal world made vacant. There is a surprising terror in a landscape of farmhouses full of possessions that have no function, a remarkable danger in a pile of old hammers, in the possibility of forgetting what things were once for.
1. Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2. The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals.
5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
The first space pilot has already been born. He is probably between ten and sixteen years of age at this moment. Without doubt both he and his parents listen to radio and television programs dealing with much space adventure but with few accurate facts. This book is designed to outline the facts of space travel, and the conditions we expect to find in space and among the planets and stars. These facts alone are sufficiently exciting, since they are factors in man's greatest single adventure - the exploration of the universe.
Most fans were more upset by the look of the movie. Heart-stopping chases, state-of-the-art CGI, and alien battle scenes that don't just look like two out-of-shape guys in bad make-up fighting awkwardly--That's a real slap in the face of Trek fans.
