4th July

[Rooster]

Happy "Blow something up in the name of freedom" day to all my yankee cousins across the pond.<br><br>What better way to celebrate kicking our arses back across the atlantic than losing a digit to a firecracker!

[Bocaj Claw]

In the area where I live they've been setting off fireworks for a week already. Makes it a wee bit difficult to sleep sometimes.

No I think we still are. But the fourth is such a magical day that we can blow up stuff abroad AND in our own yards. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

And I hear the NASA 'lets smash a probe into a comet and see what we learn for it, oh and why not time it to coincide with the celebrations of the 4th' thing went really well.<br><br>Happy (slightly belated) fourth to you all.

And thus we reassert our fascination with stuff that 'splodes.

What better way to celebrate your country than by blowing up a small part of it.
