I'm not sure if it works differently for moose than it does for deer, although I assume not. The antlers bleed a lot when they're being shed (every year) whether they've been fighting or not.

I'd like to throw in a vote for the Handley Page Victor. This thing looks like a BOMBER OF THE FUTURE and general instrument of Doom.





Look at this beast on its last flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zMPrOE3Wpc

And to cap it off a pants-making GBS threads moment at an air show when co-pilot error allows a Victor to take off during a fast-taxi run. She just wanted to fly one last time. :unsmith:

Crossposting from the cosplay thread:

A dude in Australia made a full Iron Man costume so he could visit kids in hospital and cheer them up. It's got all the lights, a mouth control in the helmet that lifts the visor, a voice changer that automatically starts when the visor closes and a few more tricks. Here he is at a Starlight foundation charity fundraiser where he walked around in the suit for 3 hours:


http://imgur.com/gallery/vJybi


Oh and he made the suit out of steel, it weighs 37kg (81.5 lbs)


It took him 3 years to finish the project, he had to go on a crazy crash diet earlier this year because he'd put on some weight and he didn't fit in the suit any more. :v:

His imgur gallery: http://imgur.com/user/barryarmstead/submitted

Looking at his gallery he does landscaping work and likes to rescue spiders when they fell trees.

Anyone have that story about the time some SR-71 pilots were going to do a low altitude fly-by and narrowly missed crashing into the spectators? Got out of it doing a full burn and gave the people one hell of a show, according to the story?

I'd seen him on Deadwood and in The Prestige, but I never knew who Ricky Jay was, and I'm sad he passed away yesterday.

Skip to around 23 minutes for an insanely impressive display of card manipulation. The whole video is worth a watch

My first exposure to Ricky Jay was David Mamet's "House of Games" back in the late eighties. A great movie, by the way. Jay was one of those oddballs who was somehow both a student and a master, could be playful, or deathly serious and switch between the two in a heartbeat. He loved what he did, in seemingly every possible way and wanted to share that with everyone.
