It was great, but then I like anything by Mark Gattis. His 'History of Horror' also on the BBC is good as well.

Who cares what he says on other sites. It's what he says here that counts.

Because if it had croaked it couldn't make a noise?

Ah, the good ol' Montparnasse wreck. You need to be up close to (or in the cab of) one of these locomotives to really feel the raw power and mass. Some of the bigger Baldwins weigh more than the gross takeoff weight of a Boeing 757. Not the sort of thing you want falling on you. Had many a footplate ride on some big Locomotives. I work as a volunteer on the NYMRI do Permanent Way and Signalling work. I have also done a good few hours 'donkey work' on restorations, all the grotty stuff the full time staff don't want to do like sitting in a Firebox drilling out Stays or crouching in a pit shot blasting frames. Our Locomotives are a lot more modern than the one in the picture Blasting up a 1 in 49 Grade (one of the steepest in the UK) on the footplate of an A4 Streamline Pacific with an 8 coach train gives a feeling of power

His family the De Brus' family were based in Skelton Castle a couple of miles up the road from me in North Yorkshire. The local school is called 'De Brus' At the Battle of the Standard (1138) there were members of the De Brus family on both sides.

Britain always supported the 'underdog' in a European War to stop any one power getting too much of an upper hand. At sea up until WW1 Britain always had a 'Two Power' policy. That is, the RN should be equal in size to the combined fleets of the two nearest powers it was likely to face.

How would Patton have got to Moscow as the claim goes? Soviet forces massively outnumbered US forces in 1945, they were well equipped with better tanks than the US and battle hardened troops. Hitler failed when he attacked an unprepared and badly equipped Soviet Union. Britian wouldn't have gone for an attack on Russia. Our army was worn out, after D-Day there were no more reserves to send in, there was plenty of hardware but no more men. Plus I think there would have been a mutiny in the British ranks if anyone had tried to order them to start fighting a new war.
Plus there was still a war to fight in the Far East.

Rodin. As can be seen in the info that goes with your picture, it is showing reflected Gamma Rays. Those same gamma Rays are hitting the Earth and we are doing just fine.

How would NASA explain any differences in their 'fake' rocks as compared to the first rocks retrieved by any other country landing on the moon in the future?

And take his fellow crewman with him. To my mind that's not the person you want as your crew commander. If he were flying solo then I have no problem, he can do what he wants.

I have been spending some time on JREF lately in the Conspiracy and various Skeptic areas. From what I have seen of the wider CT and Pseudoscience worlds, the ability to believe mutualy contradictory things is part of being a CTer or believer of Woo.
