During World War Two the only elephant in Berlin was killed by the first bomb dropped by the allies.
the plastic tips on the ends of shoelaces (aglets) were created by the government for a nefarious purpose...
A lot of btc traders are secretly trying hard to make more fiat, even if they publicly despise it.
The Romans invented concrete. That's why their ancient structures still stand, such as the Pantheon. The also had zoning laws and building codes. Four story apartment buildings were common.
Apparently, so I am told, there exist "people" who prefer to wipe sitting down. From the front. Initial research indicates it could be up to half the population.
Over.
For this simple reason: Over makes it easier to visually locate and to grasp the loose end.
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress entered service in 1955. The U.S. Air Force intends to keep it in service until at least 2045. That's 90 years. They may extend that time frame.
I've wondered for awhile now how those things have lasted so long. Considering there's been so many plane crashes where metal fatigue was involved.
As far as I can tell, the last B-52s were produced no later than 1962 or 1963. They must have a rigorous inspection schedule (obviously) and standard procedures and infrastructure for airframe repair. No matter what, it's rather mind boggling.
Apparently nobody here likes films.
Still trying to confirm this, one way or another.

The animated film Horton Hears a Who gives a little tribute to 2001: A Space Odyssey. And it's not just the music. It's the music combined with what's happening in the scene where the mayor of Whoville goes to the dentist. A large needle is attempting to be inserted into his mouth, which of course is the metaphor for one of the most beautiful and famous scenes in cinema history.
As for the scene in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, you haven't seen it properly unless you've scene it at 1080p (Blu-ray) in the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio on a proper 1080p display, or in the theater projected via 70mm. More importantly, it's important to imagine it's 1968. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were there, among others, and the movies they made exist because of that.

It would take 20 minutes for all the world's human urine produced in a day to flow over Niagara Falls.
That puts a stop to my idea. Anybody want to buy a barrel with a Bitcoin logo on it?

Notice that the Cranberries song is actually being sung in Cantonese by Faye Wong, who debuted in the film Chungking Express: She's the one in the video: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1189022
And then notice the montage of her as she appears here in 2046: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6ZKzBc6QTY . The beautiful music (Adagio) is the theme for 2046, but the film has other memorable songs, such as Siboney, by Connie Francis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNl_8VSmYu8
Little known fact: Brigitte Lin's last scene in Chungking Express was her last scene ever in her career as an actress, and about a minute or so later in the film, Faye Wong's first moment ever as an actress occurs in the film.
Bonus tidbit: Brigitte Lin also appeared in Ashes of Time, and while that film was being made (by Wong Kar-Wai), it was decided they needed a break, so they banged out Chungking Express in a couple of months and then went back to filming Ashes of Time (later released as Ashes of Time Redux): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saHxm_md60c
