I refuse to be a party to the world-wide dumbing down of humanity. No, I will not post the books-on-tape version.

It's not world wide; there are places where there are no people.

Don't we all... but that would kinda defeat the object.

How about a Q&A version instead?

Well, the Hoover Dam was a juicy target I don't doubt there were plans to take it down, just I think a U-Boat that could be for want of a better phrase 'flat-packed' is a little hard to believe there was I know some smaller subs that could be transported like that but they were to small (The sub museum in Gosport (UK) has the one they got working on a Ch4 show Salvage Hunters??) the Japanese had submerge-able aircraft carrying subs that could have made an attack but not with enough punch to make any serious damage. Interesting site will have to have a look further...Thanks for that!

Goliath encounter: Puppy-sized spider surprises scientist in rainforest
errrr
how about we rework parts of this article
Goliath encounter: Horriffic Arse wipingly sized spider totally terrifies scientist in rainforest
Found in an ungodly location, one spider so large it makes even the most hardened Australian stop and mouth W. T. F.
Yet despite all that, the spider doesn't pose a threat to humans. Even if it bites you, "a chicken can probably do more damage," Naskrecki said.
bollocks says Bryce, reader from Brisbane.
Despite its name, the birdeater doesn't usually eat birds, although it is certainly capable of killing small mammals. "They will essentially attack anything that they encounter," Naskrecki said.
Examples include, wandering scientists, small children and programmers minding their own sodding business.
After catching the specimen he found in Guyana, which was female, Naskrecki took her back to his lab to study. She's now deposited in a museum.
Dead, as it should be.

Love the way the article's written as if it's a new discovery.
The spider (or one instance of it) has been the Guinness world-record holder for decades.

In the "Really nasty creatures that should be exterminated" category, I hope?

Spiders eat mosquitoes.
I know whose side I'm on.

Have to be a serious b*st*rd of a mosquito for that monster to be interested!

Most of the things I eat are a lot smaller than me (and the ones that are bigger I tend to eat in smaller chunks), so I'm sure he wouldn't turn his nose up at a nice, big plate of mosquito.
How much disposable income do spiders have? Is it worth investing in a McMozzies concession?

I guess that depends on how much wandering scientists carry in small change...

Exactly, those things keep the population of those other things at bay.
Bert: Why do you have a banana in your ear?
Ernie: To keep the aligators away.
Bert: There aren't any aligators around here.
Ernie: See? It works.

I shopped around and bought a Samsung 250GB SSD 840 for AU$133 and a Seagate Backup Plus for AU$123.25 and a Thunderbolt Cable for AU$35 (all including delivery)
So for AU $291.25 I now have a much MUCH speedier (and quieter) mac!
Plugged it in last night, installed Yosemite on it, and the machine feels like a new Mac - fast as!
Thunderbolt is great! It's as fast (some have measured it as faster) than having an internal SSD - and it's small enough and light enough that I am just sticking it to the back of the Mac.
The only problem I've had so far is remembering all my bloody passwords before I installed Chrome and LastPass!

Get with the program, eh?
If you need a new HDD for a mac, you're supposed to buy a new mac.
It did just work, but they fixed it

See, that's just what I expected haters to say.
Quite wrong, of course.
With Thunderbolt you can easily daisy chain external drives - and upgrade without having to open up the case and faff about with motherboards!
