At first I thought these
over-cute Japanese cartoon characters were ridiculous. I still
think they’re ridiculous, but some are genius too.

“Now comes perhaps the most important piece of advice
you’ll ever hear about lingerie shopping, and it’s one that American
men need to take to heart: Avoid Victoria’s Secret like the devil
himself will swallow your soul if you so much as set foot in the place.”

‘Agility’ is the ability of the F-22 pilot to point and shoot with his
aircraft, pirouetting, and facing the enemy with his weapons at all
speeds. The F-22 pilot can maintain control of the aircraft at speeds as
low as that of a Piper Cub or at very high supersonic speeds. Because of
the F-22’s sophisticated aero-design and high thrust-to-weight ratio, it
can easily outmaneuver all current and projected threat aircraft, both
at medium and high altitudes.
The F/AA-22
Raptor. Coming in 2005 to
an air campaign near you. The descriptions of the technology are exquisite,
including the stealth section, because of phrases like “the pilot’s head,
complete with helmet, is a major source of radar return”
and paragraphs like the following:
On board antennas and radar systems are a major potential source of high
radar visibility for two reasons. One is that it is obviously difficult to
hide something that is designed to transmit with very high efficiency, so the
so called in band radar cross section is liable to be significant. The other
is that even if this problem is solved satisfactorily, the energy emitted by
these systems can normally be readily detected. The work being done to reduce
these signatures cannot be described here.
