- I thought the first sentence of the Malleus Maleficarum was the longest run on sentence ever... then I read the second:
"It has indeed lately come to Our ears, not without afflicting Us with bitter sorrow, that in
some parts of Northern Germany, as well as in the provinces, townships, territories, districts, and
dioceses of Mainz, Cologne, Tréves, Salzburg, and Bremen, many persons of both sexes,
unmindful of their own salvation and straying from the Catholic Faith, have abandoned themselves
to devils, incubi and succubi, and by their incantations, spells, conjurations, and other accursed
charms and crafts, enormities and horrid offences, have slain infants yet in the mother's womb, as
also the offspring of cattle, have blasted the produce of the earth, the grapes of the vine, the fruits
of the trees, nay, men and women, beasts of burthen, herd-beasts, as well as animals of other kinds,
vineyards, orchards, meadows, pasture-land, corn, wheat, and all other cereals; these wretches
furthermore afflict and torment men and women, beasts of burthen, herd-beasts, as well as animals
of other kinds, with terrible and piteous pains and sore diseases, both internal and external; they
hinder men from performing the sexual act and women from conceiving, whence husbands cannot
know their wives nor wives receive their husbands; over and above this, they blasphemously
renounce that Faith which is theirs by the Sacrament of Baptism, and at the instigation of the
Enemy of Mankind they do not shrink from committing and perpetrating the foulest abominations
and filthiest excesses to the deadly peril of their own souls, whereby they outrage the Divine
Majesty and are a cause of scandal and danger to very many."
Good god, who will save the English language?

yeah Tom, figured you'd be in on the book... actually NO pictures. If you want pictures, you should be after the Cunt colouring book by Tee Corinne. And I also figured you'd be interested for all the "wrong" reasons... so do pick up CUNT and read it, it's a really good thing for anyone to do. and not just so that they're reading a book called cunt either.

- and the whole "boo" thing is also sticking to your ideals. I suppose that a lot of what I say ends up coming out with a serious tree-hugger bent, but I didn't necessarily mean just environmental ideals, I meant pretty much everything... and you can stick to whatever it is you idealize without always following the system... and yes, there are bizarre non-system groups on all ends/branches of the spectrum, from neonazi skinhead communes to hippy colonies, they all exist... so it's not like there's no way to succeed outside of the system...
anyway... yeah, that's all. my head hurts, I need a break from computers now.

Main terminal: Specifications on "Waverider mode"
- Yep same deal as last time.
Well enough with these vehicles that cause no mass destruction it is time to start talking about some real firepower. Grand Arms Panzer's next mode is what the Japanese would call "Waverider mode" basically it is a mode were the mecha can both travel from an atmosphere into space and vice versa. Think of it as a craft capable of being a airplane or a spaceship without having to change engine configurations. As you know jet engines are air breathing and will not work in space, however rocket engines can work in both space and in the atmosphere. Grand Arms Panzer being a advance unit doesn't use either of these instead Grand Arms uses a advance "Slipstream pulse drive."
Yep another one of those weird pseudoscience devices in which anime is famous for.
This mode is used to travel very far distances in a moderate amount of speed. It is not as fast as "Burst mode" but the speed that this mode generates can be maintained for longer periods of time. Because of the geometery change needed to achieve this mode the weaponry is reduced by a large amount. To compensate for this this mode allows for Grand Arms to use the internal missle bays and pylons not normally accessable in the other modes.
Now for the specs:
Height: 7 meters (Measured from landing gear to the top of Mega fixer cannon)
Weight: ???
Power Generators: Cold Fusion Reactors, Alpha Engine, Beta Generator, Gamma Device
Armor: Grand Armian variant PAnzer
Max Speed: Mach 36
Max maintainable cruise speed: Mach 30
Max time cruise speed can be maintained: 3 days
Range: Unlimited
Weapons: Mega Fixer Cannon x2 (Fixed in position) Heavy Vulcan Guns x5 (2 mounted on each forward mandible, and one mounted in the nose of the craft.) Missle bay x1 (Carries: Giga class missles x many (Tried and true missles that Grand Arms uses. All round good missile.), Thor class missles xmany (Long range missles that can hit a target far away.), Amaretsu class Reality Disabalization missle x14 (The most powerful ordannce that Grand Arms can carry, they destroy reality and therefore have to be used with extreme caution. They may not damage a massivly large areas like his other attacks but their power is devestating.) Micro missles xmany (small missles to soften enemies and to use to intercept other missles. Very quick and manuverable missle.)) Missle Pylons x6 (3 mounted on each wing. Each Pylon carries 4 micro missles)
Ultimate moves: Bye Bye Reality (Fires all the Amaretsu class missiles into a single point in space. This causes a rip in realtiy that will destroy everything in that area. Tear only sustainable for about a minute.)
Well that is all for now.
Warning Grand Arms Panzer specs, skip if desired.

There are companies that actually work towards ideals and strive to stay in that path. For example Mimmetics is a engineering company that only produces designs that are to be enviromentally friendly as possible. Their successes, how bout the Gossmar Condor the only manpowered craft to fly a mile, and the follow up to that the Gossmar Albatross the only human powered craft to fly acrosss the english channel. Their latest project is the massive, solar powered aircraft the Centurion. It can cruise at super high altitudes without refueling or maitenance for long periods of time. So you can follow your ideals as long as you want to look for people who are willing to follow their ideals as well. Sad note: The Centurion is being looked at by the Department of Defence as a observation craft for military purposes. Booo! I say Booo!
