The *only* reason that I hate movie theatres is that there are always dozens of people around me who do not know how to eat quietly. Close your mouth before you start chewing (that includes the first chomp). Learn how to grab popcorn without ruffling your hand around for 2 minutes (better yet, lose the popcorn all together! Let's find a quieter food to associate with movies!)

Totally off-topic, but I wonder why the trees/bushes are growing predominately on the remains of the runways? It's almost like an agar plate with the way they follow it.
Off-topic speculative answer: the old runways might help to retain or channel any moisture, more so than the surrounding area, giving more vegetation a chance to grow for a longer period of time.
Submission + - Exodus of teachers at Bronx High School of Science (nytimes.com)
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: "My alma mater, the Bronx High School of Science, the first place at which I ever saw a real life computer, is experiencing a mass exodus of teachers. Reading between the lines it seems like Bloomberg-appointed administrators are showing the same disrespect to educators which Bloomberg and his appointees have consistently shown to all educators in the public school system, unless of course they're associated with a for-profit corporate charter school operation."

Velcroman1 writes: A manned mission to Mars would be the greatest adventure in the history of the human race. And one man knows how to make it a reality. In fact, he just wrote the book on it — literally. Joel Levine, senior research scientist with NASA's Langley Research Center and co-chair of NASA's Human Exploration of Mars Science Analysis Group, just published "The Human Mission to Mars: Colonizing the Red Planet." The book reads like a who's who of Mars mission science, featuring senators, astronauts, astrophysicists, geologists and more on getting to Mars, studying its atmosphere and climate, the psychological and medical effects on the crew and other details. There's even a section detailing the science of sex on Mars, should NASA attempt to create a permanent colony there. The most interesting bit: Levine presents a solution for funding the trip, something unprecedented for NASA: advertising. "The suggestion is marketing to different corporations and professional sports leagues for advertising, which is something NASA never does — it's a whole new economic plan for financing what has to be the greatest adventure in the history of the human race."

PS Mods, next time, do I need to put a marker around my post? Seriously. I know his UID is lower than mine. It was part of the joke. Dumbasses.
Or the joke just wasn't that funny. There's always that.
