Every thing causes male impotency.

Indeed. Research has show that the two most common forms of research are into causes of male impotency and cancer. Everything causes both, although rarely at the same time.  In fact, some studies have shown that one often leads to the other. In either order.

The bulk of remaining research is pointless, and revolves mostly around coming up with mathematical formulae for things which have no conceivable use of a mathematical formula. Such as the formula that describes how funny a forum post is, which seems to contain 5 variables, 4 of which are completely unknowable factors with no measurement system, and no units. The fifth is the "funniness value", the result of the equation.

Almost all of the above is based on fact, although some unspecified parts may subsequently be proven to be completely fictitious and off the top of my head.

I can verify that isn't true.  I wear flip flops all the time and every morning I wake up the same way I did when I was 13, much to my girlfriend's feigned delight.

I think the MEC team should have a new class, not sure what it should be called but instead of giving out ammo packs or health packs they could wip out a small child to use as a human shield!  If the attacker kills the child they lose points just like a tk...

sarcasm or not, m8, that is sick...

I figured I might get flamed even with the emotes.  I guess the politicians are right, GTA has totally desensitized me...

Human shields or when SpecOps blows up commander assets have the engineers erect signs saying it was a baby formula factory or something like that.  I think the MEC should also have stone throwing kids running around that you can't shoot or you lose points.

As far as GTA desensitizing me, GTA never had the chance.  The 10:00 o'clock news got to me first and made me hate my fellow man...

Great posts, Sarum, and excellent writing! Are you in the communications business, by any chance?

I think the cigar for commanders is a keeper. And if it's a cigar, it has to be Cuban, sorry for the Helms-Burton diehards out there.

Anybody knows if it's illegal for US soldiers to smoke cubans while abroad? It looks suspiciously close to breaking Sec. 103 (Prohibition against indirect financing of Cuba) of the Helms-Burton law.

But then again, having US troops on mainland China is probably not legal either...

Cheers!

I don't know about the other forces, but the Air Force frowns heavily on smoking in general.  I beleive the latest goal they set is for all Air Force personnel to be smoke free by 2010 or they will be discharged.  As for smoking Cubans overseas or anywhere for that matter, anything illegal is seized if found during inspections and the perpetrator gets punished for whatever law he broke by possessing it.  So, if they they're gonna smoke 'em they'd have to be pretty damn careful who saw them.

I don't know if the Army is trying to be "Smoke Free" or not, but the biggest rule I've ever heard of Army wise is that there is no smoking within X feet of gov't buildings, it is always either that or smoking in the designated areas only.  Dip is wide spread though.  As far as smoking Cubans, if you aren't in America you can do it.  I'm almost certain, but someone might be able to correct me, that the documentation states either that you can not sell them or that you can not import them.  It doesn't say anything about purchasing them.  Either way, that doesn't matter, because those are the U.S.A.'s laws.  The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) does not have any such article prohibiting the sale, use, or possession of such things.  Soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines are only required to live by the Host Nations laws and if that nation does or does not allow it, that is up to them.  (Note that a commander might try to implement his own rules and regulations about it, but that would only apply to the men and women under his command.)
