Power Loader Halloween Costume From Aliens Movie 60
Ant writes "Chairboy's Halloween costume this year was a Caterpillar Power Loader J-5000, the hydraulic utility vehicle seen in the James Cameron's 1986 movie, Aliens. There is a journal of him making it from scratch, a photograph/photo gallery, and a video clip of it in action from yesterday."

Awesome! So how many people did you meet along the way who a) got the reference or b) got offended by the WWII-era German insignia?

We need a Halloween theme along the lines of OMG Ponies, except it should be OMG Ghosts - by Symantec.

It is strange though, since All Hallow's Eve is only where it is because of a Christian holiday All Saint's Day on Nov. 1 today.

Christmas is on December 25th because that's when Jesus was born, dumbass. Why the hell else do you think his folks couldn't find room at the inn? Everybody knows Nazareth didn't have a conference centre till 14 AD.
Re: (Score:2)
Can you cite chapter and verse where it is stated the actual date of birth of Jesus?
Face it, the date was decided by the Church around the fourth century, mainly to "mask" the pagan celebrations of the winter solstice. The Orthodox church fixed a different date, and they celebrate christmas on January 6th.

What's that wooshing sound?
If you missed the suggestion that there was no room at the inn because it was Christmas, did my claiming Nazareth built a conference centre in 14 AD not give you tiny clue that I may not have been being entirely serious?

Its just that lately it has become hard to be a rational christian, when theres people who insist that the earth is 4000 years old and that fossilized dinosaurs are a trick of the devil... Or those wackos that claim that all humans spoke english before the tower of babel, and that the KJV is the "real and only valid" word of God...

Why do they need a big, hydraulic power-loader on a spaceship? If they need to move large, heavy things around, why don't they just turn off (or down) the artificial gravity?

All "zero gravity" does help with is reducing friction from the floor. It still has mass and the problems associated with things just floating about are one of
