Troy was a weird movie. They made brad Pitt be Achilles and he was full of plastic surgery. Brad Pitt is also very boring. There's one shot where you see Ajax wailing on dudes with his tree/sledgehammer, that's the good part of the movie. The rest sucks. Odysseus was in it I think. Played by Orlando bloom maybe

When I read the Iliad for the first time, I liked Ajax way more than Achilles. (This is probably another sign that something's wrong with my brain.)

Sagebrush posted:

did you know that troy had a whole 90 minute score written for it that got thrown out in the editing room cause for some reason they called james horner in to do the usual BRAAA BRAAA I"M A JAMES HORNER TURMPET thing? and the original score is actually really great

A similar thing happened with 2001: A Space Odyssey.

i lived in china for a while and once we went to this cantonese place and the big deal was that they were serving squilla that day. some kind of mini lobster looking thing, or a big crayfish. it tasted pretty decent but i had never heard of a squilla so i looked it up that night and it turned out it was a mantis shrimp. mantis shrimp

- have the most complex eye in the entire animal kingdom, which has 10,000 sub facets and 16 different types of photoreceptor (humans have 2) and so can see infrared, ultraviolet, polarization of light and various colors that don't exist for humans, in a nearly 360 degree field
- incidentally its eyeball polarization filters are more efficient than anything humans have been able to manufacture, and function over a far wider bandwidth
- have claws that they can attack with so hard (10,000g acceleration) that it induces sonoluminescent cavitation in the water, causing dissolved oxygen to come out of solution in a microbubble which then collapses, generating temperatures of 7,000 degrees and a burst of light. they use this to stun nearby fish and crack aquarium glass to escape from captivity
- and then there's the damage they can cause with the razor sharp claw itself, which they have been observed swinging at passing fish, slicing them cleanly in half with one blow
- they also mate for life, which can be 20 or 30 years, and the husband and wife will take turns taking care of a clutch of eggs and defending the babies from other sea critters
- though it is a sea creature, it has been observed traveling on land by bending its body into a wheel shape and springing forwards, rolling from one tide pool to another

needless to say i felt like a real piece of poo poo for eating one of those

How did anyone manage to kill one of those things so you could eat it? They're all-seeing, all-terrain murder machines. :ohdear:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_map_images_with_missing_or_unclear_data

Some locations on free, publicly viewable satellite map services, have missing, incomplete, or unclear map data. In some cases, these regions have been intentionally digitally obscured or blurred.[1] Westchester County, New York, for example, has asked Google to blur potential terror targets (such as an amusement park, a beach, and parking lots) from its satellite imagery.[2]

Gotta be careful with those strategically critical parking lots.
