You're stationed to a new base in the Antarctic. It's completely snowed in. You are a doctor and notice your appendix has probably already burst. (it had) ~~is very close to bursting~~. You are the only doctor on staff.

You man the gently caress up and remove your own goddamn appendix.

Considering John Cusack is listed in the IMDB credits and Robert Downey Jr. isn't, I'd say you're wrong.

The real reason Robert Downey, Jr. went into rehab: the drugs were making him look like John Cusack.

With all this posting about Lidstrom a few pages ago, I cannot believe no one brought up Yzerman. The man constantly came back from battling injuries, most notably his knee and this beauty pictured below. The man was a true bad-rear end.

Edit: I just found Peter Jackson's Facebook page and he's answering 20 fan questions about the upcoming Hobbit films. Question one was "Are we going to see the White Council attacking Dol Guldor?" and in reply was:

quote:

I'm not going to say just what and when, but I will confirm that both the White Council and Dol Guldur will feature in the movies. And not just in one scene either. Just how to visualise it has been a challenge, but fortunately Alan Lee and John Howe went crazy with ideas, and it should look pretty cool.

In fact to celebrate the start of these 20 questions, I'll show you an exclusive photo of the White Council planning the attack on Dol Guldur! Even if you don't want to be hit with spoilers, you should still take a look. For the first image of Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel brandishing an array of fearsome Elvish weapons, CLICK HERE!

quote:

A construction worker dangling at the end of a crane pulled Patricia from the currents just below the dam, after nearly 30 minutes of being pulled under by the surging currents.

Crews used a crane from the nearby construction site in the rescue.

A worker was strapped to the end of the crane's line and lowered into the river just below the dam. He was able to pull Patricia from the swell and hang on to her until a nearby rescue boat could pull her to safety.

A rescue boat nearby wasn't able to get close enough to the dam to grab her on its own.

"Our crews tried multiple times to get close to her, they couldn't," said Capt. Steve Brown, of Des Moines Fire Department. "That crane operator pretty much saved her life."

I always loved this picture because you can actually see just how loving far every troop still had to go before they made it off the beach. In pretty much every D-Day movie I've ever seen the first wave lands during high tide and aren't more than 50 yards from the bluffs, when in reality there was several hundred yards of totally open ground that you had to trek across while being shot at with automatic weapons. Oh and you also were carrying so much poo poo that it was pretty much impossible for you to do anything but stroll casually toward German fortifications.

To contribute, probably a repeat but I just love pictures of Project Excelsior. There's something so awesomely human about jumping from a balloon several miles up just to see what the hell would happen.

Everyone should watch the D-Day landing in Saving Private Ryan and then realize that it was almost certainly at least a 1000 times worse in real life.

This might be a silly question but how the hell do they clean that all up and when they do, where do they dispose of all that ash/debris? Or is it as simple as it just washes away in the rain?

I worked in Alaska a couple years back sweeping up ash (in similar amounts there). The big piles don't wash away quickly so we swept/shoveled them (the poo poo is heavy) and dumped them in piles. A lot of people take it for gardens or for collecting as well, which helps
