SOCL

Sure you can. Hope the find works out, Rob.

One word: McLovin.

Ah, no fun in studying. Do like me, Rob: have a beer for breakfast, a beer for lunch, and three for dinner, and go to class pissed. You don't have to worry about hangovers because you're in a state of constant smashed-ness.

Oh, man, that's funny!

My point exactly.

Invisible to us. Now that would have been awesome to watch in the theater.

But you will be able to find material, which is more to say than most topics. How about the way Yuri Gargarian's space trip suddenly jump started the U.S. program, or the way the first EVA was done by the Soviets and prompted the U.S. follow suit ahead of schedule?

Or not. Personally, they simply should never have put Yoda and Palpatine fighting anyone. The mystery and mystique of their skills would have remained, but having them fight is like waiting for Episode I to come out, expecting something great, and then getting Jar-Jar Binks!

Actually, what Mad said is true. Sure, you can write thirty pages on essentially anything, but there's a difference between writing thirty pages and writing thirty good pages. Anyone can write thirty pages of nonsense or simple reporting--hell, a lot of people seem to think researched papers are nothing more than reporting facts! He's got to actually prove something, even if it's something rather self-evident. For instance, if his thesis was, "The Apollo progamme was a direct response to the Soviet's successful space programme," then that's way too broad. But trying to address something like why did the U.S. space progamme take such a huge leap forward from the Gemini missions to the lunar landing despite being behind the Soviets the rest of the way and a major accident setback (i.e. Apollo 1), then that's perfect.

Palpatine with a lightsaber... Yoda with a lightsaber... Uck.

I have to side with Rob's professor on this topic, to an extent, namely that the Space Race as a whole is far too broad, especially for something as small as a thirty-page paper. The U.S. purchase of Alaska is actually rather ideal for a university paper, but I wouldn't dismiss the Space Race just like that. I would say concentrate on something--the years from the first man in space to Neil Armstrong on the moon, or just the Apollo programme. Something a little more narrow.

I changed the email link so that way it's a little more secure.

Very subtle SOCL; he never saw it coming Shhh! He may not yet notice.

The hamburger fellow rather looks like a hoplite or a velite, a form of Roman light infantry.

The Half-Life story will always be my preference for any monster/zombie killing, especially Half-Life 2.

Yes, Tofu--I have groomed you well. Every moment you become more my apprentice.

Do you mean like the UK and France nearly coming in on the Confederates side?

Animorphs, Boxcar Children... I read those Essential Guides to whatever a lot, too. Playing outside, pretending to be Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. Legos. Meh

If I moved to London, does Jahled think he could get me "the hook up", as it were?

I saw the original version of Jesus Christ Superstar on DVD the other night--powerful, but nothing compared to the sheer power and majesty of seeing it live.

...really? Tofu, really?

Sorry about that. I managed to scare a lot of people last night, on phone and AIM, and then some my roommates' guests. I know I was pissed drunk last night because I have a headache right now, but not much else.

dpubel post not good, rob! I hve three roman history classes thi s semester and one bout the American Civil War.

It's really there but I cna't say no to the book is awesome, j!

Marvelous! You are very lucky! Aren't you concerned it might fall apart, though, with too much handling?
