Dark Messiah did melee perfectly right, and a lot of other things, too.

Doctor Cockburn took a look at my cock burn and fixed my plumbing problem with a plume. (A sad story, how I ended up there.)

I thought you were just from like... Brooklyn or something? They speak funny on the East coast.

They may be commies on the coasts but not that much.

The corona of the sun is obscenely hot, around a million kelvin sounds about right for that.

That's one of the things that's always fascinated me about the sun; how the "surface" is so much cooler than the corona.

Ionized gases in obscenely powerful magnetic fields are pretty fascinating. Also dangerous.

Why the distinction?

Probably because it's unwieldy, in French there isn't really a fast way of saying railgun that isn't, well, "railgun". You can say it's an electrical gun or an electrical gun using the Lorentz force or an electrical gun using the Laplace force because you you've simplified out all the little annoying Lorentz forces out but it's not as fast so railgun it is.

You can say "cannon à rail" but that just sounds really stupid. Also possible confusion with a railway gun.

It sounds stupid but it's the best kind of stupid. I haven't stopped laughing at this for a good 5 minutes.

I imagine that if the Doomguy could haul around a railway mounted cannon, he definitely would.
