Well, we'd need to get rid of our corrupt and self-serving politicians first.

Worked just fine the last time I sat on it....better than I did anyway http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/7...ebigtb9fg3.gif

Going to keep that image AdBlocked till the end of time, jim :dead:

Oh, there might well be another Dark Ages on the way, it wouldn't surprise me. But equally it might swing around.
Regarding military strength, well, it wouldn't be the first time we've been conquered. Khan had a good run at it, the Romans did too. It is the progress of history. Besides, we can rearm and rebuild if our backs are against the wall, it's just getting the right propaganda to the masses. ;)
If the US really wants to return to the old America-First style isolationism, well, that is the choice of the US, but I refer to a quote from a president I liked:

Here's one with less 'content' :lol:

Ffs, Jim! :shifty:

Jebus Hoist! I thought the Brits had a civilized sense of humor.

:lol: Isn't that based on an RL event Jim, that last one, one guys wife used a load of cleaning fluid then he went and sat down to do his business, threw his fag down into the bog and ignited the gases.

Might be an urban myth though :hmm:

It is an urban myth.

Wondered, ah well, still makes for an amusing gif :lol:

But only if you have an 'uncivilised' sense of humour http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...bubblegum2.gif

Is that a picture of you?;)

Of course...who else :hmm:

Nah not ugly enough :)

That urban myth, I might make it urban truth just for the hell of it.

Good luck trying to light a vapor with a coal that small.

It isn't an urban legend, there was something similar once in a gas station. Someone had poured gasoline (This was way back when oil was 30 cents a litre)

Ligthing gasoline with a cigarette is all but impossible. I have tried it myself, the cigarette will go out before the gasolene lights because the coal at the end of a cigarette simply does nto have ennough surface area to pass on the enery required for gasolene to combust. It is far mroe likely to set gasolene alight using a static charge which can build up while driving ones car, now gasolene fires due to this have happened and likely will ocur again.

To my knowledge, gas needs to be in closed compartment to lit. It's the gas fumes that catch on fire, not the liquid gas itself. So, dropping a fag to a bottle full of gasoline, wouldnt prolly do anything.

EDIT: My southern friend said it firsts. :)

Nah, thats diesel and Jet fuel. Gasoline will catch on fire in puddles. I didn't know that cigarettes were too small to set gasoline on fire, but maybe the whole thing was burning? Why else would you drop one in the toilet?
