The Iowa class as a whole would kick the dogshit out of the Bismarck or the Yamato - simply because it could see the enemy over the horizon before they could ever think about firing back. The Iowas had superior fire control by a wide margin and the greatest benefit is being able to fire at...
I recommend posting this at the MTBR.com forums - even though they are mountain bikers I'm sure they would be curious to know how their roadie brethren are being treated in Atlanta. The more the merrier!

It is more appropriate to call it one of the greatest anti-war novels of all time. It showed the German soldiers were just regular blokes, caught up in the great war same as the French, Brits, etc. Basically put a human face on "the enemy."
George Stewart's "Earth Abides" is an older book, but an excellent one on a plague that wipes out mankind.
Kevin J. Anderson & Doug Beason have a book called "Ill Wind" about the end of the world caused by the removal of oil from the planet.
I'll see if I can remember any more...I enjoy these...
They would probably never have a chance in hell at winning even if it weren't a frivolous case. It says the accident occurred at home...which means they could have chucked the bags in the back of their K-car, had all this sh1z spill all over hell...and then rebag it themselves. There is no way...
I really enjoyed the first 4 episodes...but I have to go back to the library to get the others. I thought Schwimmer did a great job of playing his role as his grating personality fit the part perfectly. I could share his men's misery :D Also, Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) from Office Space...
Maybe I am thinking of another book...but two votes against the book on God makes me wonder. I'll have to go back and look at it again (its been years). I know there were definitely a couple boring books in the series.
I used to be a big Piers fan...and read this series, part of the series...
I think Gandalf was going to put up a Bubble of Invulnerability around Minas Tirith in the last movie, but I distinctly saw him fail rolling two dice 20's. He needed two "20's" and only got a 6 and a 7. Thus, he had to do it the old fashioned way by using his staff and sword to put the smack...
I Read them all. A couple of the middle books were kinda dull (Mother Nature or something like that) but the first book (Death) will get you hooked on the whole series. Basically, the premise is that immortals are really just humans who inadvertently get recruited to assume their roles (War...
Sometimes I have trouble knowing which thread is the parody and which is the original. I guess I have to start writing down when the first message in various threads were posted...
:D
COD Mulitplayer is alright, but when the hell are they going to make a CTF mod? Seems only natural you would have a cooperative team game such as CTF since the game is supposedly about squad teamwork in single player.
Quake II CTF had more team-play than COD game versions... :(
FOTR felt like I was seeing something magical for the first time - seeing the images in my head of the books coming to life. While I did enjoy TTT immensely, it didn't have that "shock and awe" feeling that I came away with after the first one. However, since I rank them as both 5 star movies...
Natalie Portman (EP II) > New Starbuck
Old Battlestar Galactica ship > New ship
New Cylon centurion > Old Centurion
I voted for BSG, and I think the new show is summed up best by a young A. Skywalker in EP I when he said "Yipeeeeeeee!" :D
