"F/A-18F Super Hornet completes a super-sonic flyby:"
To me it seems to be the F-14?
At least definately no Super-Hornet.

Hello.
First of all, your blog is very good.
It´s not a F-18 super hornet. It´s a F-14 (wacth the rest of the photos, the diference is noticeable), and there is an aditional reason for the vapor contrail: at certain altitude there are air zones of very low temperature (-X ºC), so the condensation is another reason.

Actually the disk shape and most of the other photos; these weird clouds occur when the aircraft is moving at transonic speed- these are from about Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.2, and I suspect that none of these aircraft are actually going faster than mach 1.0 in fact for practical reasons. (The shapes are caused where the *air* is *temporarily* forced to speed up past the aircraft to supersonic speeds, but since the aircraft is moving below the speed of sound, no sonic boom reaches the ground.)
Also the bit about the throttle is a bit misleading, it's the speed of the aircraft that determines where the disk forms (of course the pilot adjusts that using the throttle, but there's a lag since it takes time to accelerate...)
Hope this helps.

Contrails have nothing to do with vortices from the wing tips. They are formed from the water vapor in the engine exhaust. If it were from the wingtips, all planes would produce the same number of contrails. Coincidentally, it is always the same as the number of engines.

The girl in the red shirt has the most rediculously photoshopped boobs ever.
I vote for the first pic, #1. Everybody in that picture is making a horrible face and it's brilliant.

Yeah, vote down the photoshop jobs. Anyone can make an ugly face with the liquefy tool, e.g. that last girl with the eyebrows up.

My vote goes to #1. I sat here for a minute wondering who the true "subject" of this picture is, not that it matters! This one doesn't appear to be staged and doesn't look like a picture someone had taken simply to win this contest. :)

Hmm, I guess it's true that some guys have unrealistic expectations from a relationship. Your SO is supposed to be physically attractive, accept your interests, suppress her emotions, and play second fiddle to your TV. Meanwhile, you get to be a fatass who just doesn't give a shit about her hobbies, self esteem or thoughts. Puh-leeze. These lists aren't funny, and anyone who thinks they are is just sending out a strong signal to the world about how self-centered they are.
Here's a protip, in case you didn't pick up on it. If you don't want to have to read her mind, don't bitch when she expresses her emotions. I'm surprised you feel you need space- most women I know have enough respect that they wouldn't touch someone like you with a ten-foot-pole.

I know its supposed to be something funny but in actuality its pretty much true & that's not funny, its disturbing, its not right, its... many things, too many to say.
Men are from Mars, Woman are from Venus, if women were like men then the world would be full of pigs (dogs, scum, a-holes... whatever you want to call them)
Why is it, if women acted as men do they would be considered whores? How come men don't know its wrong to lie when they cheat? Or just because their not actually caught in the act, they think they haven't done anything wrong? Why do men lie about what they do? If you know its wrong then don't do it. If you know you f..ked up, then be a real man & admit to it.
Have you ever thought if you actually treated someone with respect then maybe you would get it right back? If you have & you still don't get it then that person isn't worth it or the real attraction isn't there, your just settling for something.
Attraction is one thing, but to be attracted & fall in love... True love is hard to find but you can't LOOK for it, I believe in time & at the right time it will COME to you.
In the mean time don't expect a miracle, just remember, to keep what you have, realize they are who they are, that's why you are w/ them. If you expected something else then you shouldn't be with them. All men lie. They have their reasons. All women bitch, we have our reasons, too. Men are the #1 reason.

I'm curious, do they really think that THAT many people will move in when this city is completed? Or will it become the world's most expensive Ghost Town in human history?
...But hey, if you're wealthy now and you know your oil will eventually be gone building a luxury city like this is a pretty good idea (even if it is a risky bet) to create a steady revenue for the future.
At the pace that they're building all of these architectural wonders do you think they're trying to "finish" the city before the oil runs out? Do they know something we don't?

It seems that a number of you assume that Dubai is wealthy from oil reserves. This is not the case, have you not noticed that since the 1990's this city has become the ecomomic and financial hub of the middle east? Oil contributes only around 6% of GDP. And i think people will be moving in Peter, every apartment in the Burj Dubai was bought within 8 hours of going on sale. There is so much fuckin cash in this place its hard to fathom.

I'm pretty sure that last little fellow is called a tapir. They're south-American and endangered, and aren't they gorgeous? I believe the stripes disappear before they're mature, and they're meant to be good swimmers.

Yes, Annie's right. Its a tapir's (Tapirus Terrestris) puppy. Here in Brazil they're most called "anta", and can be found in almost the entire South America. They're much friendly, you can literally hug them and feed by hand (they're herbivore). In my town's local zoo we had one female, she died few years ago.
You can check Wiki out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapirus_terrestris (english) or http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anta (portuguese - in this page is depicted an puppy).
And for the record, the site is amazing. I check it daily and always have a great time.
Cheers!
