“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
I got a comment the other day on the Telegram channel, during a lively and spirited discussion about the merits of the metric system, when our resident Kraut shoved his liverwurst in and said, basically: You know Metric Mind Virus (MMV) is bad, when it has our humble...
When news broke yesterday that the legendary Chuck Norris had died, I could not quite believe it, at first. Chuck was one of those figures that sort of inspired his own legend – preposterous though parts of that legend were. Those of us who actually followed his...
For the MAFF NERZ among us, today is, of course, Pi Day, which is a far better fake holiday than pretty much any other you care to name. In my personal opinion, it is a better day than Valentine’s Day, Star Wars Day, and… Oh, wait, I forgot, today is ALSO Steak &...
If you have ever listened to SABATON – and pretty much EVERY LRFotS has encountered AT LEAST one poast here that incorporates one or more of their most memorable choons – then you know how hilariously awesome they are. They also have a great sense of humour, and are...
As you can probably tell from the complete lack of poasting this week, I have been extremely busy and nearly totally unable to concentrate on much of anything else. The keen-eyed among you will note that the usual Great Mondaydact Browser Blaster is nowhere to be...
Poasting is going to be light to non-existent (which is to say, only slightly less frequent than my usual barely-phoning-it-in level of output) over the next two weeks or so. My family is in town, and I have been very happily spending the last couple of days in their...
Today is Pi Day, and that will mean precisely NOTHING to the 99.14159265897% of you who are not, for some strange reason, tickled by numerological nitwittery, the way maths majors (like me) are. Of course, I can hardly blame you for this. Irrational constants like π...
For years, I have been VERY harsh about one Larzzzz Ulrich, founder, drummer, and leader of Metallica – a band that I consider to be hugely overhyped and overrated. That being said, there was a time, back in my teens, when I did listen quite a bit to their...
There has been an awful lot of fuss in the US of late, about “drones” and “unidentified flying objects” – or whatever they are called these days – buzzing around various military bases and civilian installations. Here are a couple of videos showing the nature of the...
Seeing as it is October 31st, and it is “that” time of the year again, let us go a bit against the grain and crank up the volume ALL THE WAY TO 11, with everyone’s favourite GRANDDADDIES of power metal: The funny thing is, though, that HELLOWEEN, despite their name,...
