Why does the British Army rugby team wear red jerseys? So the blood doesn't show.
Why does the Royal Navy team wear blue jerseys? Same reason.

There's a brief scene in Fight Club where Project Mayhem replaces the safety cards in an airliner. This is the graphic.

That looks eerily similar to the footage shown at the beginning of the Resident Alien episodes on FX...

and now to something different
Avro Vulcan B.2 in flight with a Boeing B-52H-135 Stratofortress near Edwards Air Force Base, California (USA), July 10 1961.

I never realized just how massive the Vulcan was!

It is an optical effect, both planes do not fly at the same altitude.

Oop. Years worth of watching film-making videos only to make this mistake

It does help to be closer to the camera.

Well then, my earlier comment still applies; it is pretty large all things considered…

I thought it was tiny

Rate my landing.

Official count:
B-52 wing span: 185 feet
Vulcan B.2 variant wing span: 111 feet
But due to the vastly different aerodynamic layouts and mission/range/payload requirements, it's really apples vs. pineapples, after all...

07, I have a phone number for the Forest Ranger when you are ready to copy.

Butter.

Batman says he invented Vulcan first…lousy Mary Sue he is.

Sure was. But is that piece of trivia enough to be "having fun"??

It is when newly hatched, but it grows to it's full size surprisingly quickly . . .



cheers,

Fembots feel no pain--

What? You didn't recognize Katie Britt? Marshall put her back in avionics...every time they try to get her to speak she goes all Stepford on us again.

The photo is of her working on Romney 2.0
We're hoping like hell we don't get a feedback loop this time.

ALTERNATE VERSION... (couldn't resist...)



(I find it equally hilarious and annoying that people — with no engineering qualifications for the most part — can fill dozens of forum pages speculating on upcoming or possible aircraft)

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

This is so true.

the Context
the Lady made turmoil in Museum and was removed from building.
what she label as the Louvre (Paris) is in reality the Museum of Art in BRUSSELS - BELGIUM.
Some people haver bad sense of Geography, but confuse Brussels with Paris ?

I had NEVER heard the term "soyface" and had to look it up.
Can't even see why that would be insulting and inappropriate a thing to do, especially to the point of showing a person to the door...

 

[Grey Havoc]

She might have gotten caught up in an expanded ban on photography including selfies and the like.

 

[dannydale]

Yeah there's a backlash against "influencers" and public "pranks" that really aren't anything of the sort.

So you haven't been on the internet over the past... 8-7 years? (No offense, it just strikes me as odd that some people don't notice internet pop culture at all, especially such well known and widespread memes like soyjaks)

It never popped up in my news feed, as opposed to skibidi toilet...

 

[Arjen]

@EmoBirb It depends on where you're from, which parts of the internet you're interested in, what you use to acces it. Ask me about whales. Or VMS inner workings.

I am a 66 year old biologist-turned-programmer, I have thirty+ years of internet experience as a user.

'Soyface' was unknown to me until today. And I am proud of it

I will look up the meaning of words unfamiliar to me. I can, in fact, recommend that to all.
