From the title currently sucking away at LabRat's evenings, Mass Effect 2, one of the background NPCs offers the following speech regarding <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GqqDCe4Yrs&feature=related" rel="nofollow">Sir Isaac Newton</a>.<br />(contains mildly NSFW language)<br />As said, Sir Isaac may be the deadliest SOB in space, but he's not exactly unforgiving dirt-side either.

Where the end was aimed was important, where the BB might go was everything. Now even at a range I'll look and try to imagine all the places a bullet might go before I even unwrap, open or load up. <br /><br />Scary is watching news clip of people shooting AKs in the air.. <br /><br />Eck!Eck!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890237094647111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-67190447822677457452010-09-03T07:02:10.634-04:002010-09-03T07:02:10.634-04:00Your father was a good instructor.

I was thinking .22 L.R. when they said "possibly from a .22." <br /><br />My great uncle Charley was killed by an errant .22 bullet, which had been fired from so far away, it struck him almost base-on in the chest (it was tumbling), and cut a large vessel. He sat down and died on the side of the road, near the car that he had stopped to check the engine of. We never found out who fired the shot, but it was certainly unintentional. This did not make us feel better about losing a lively character in our family.Matt Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500429239798601210noreply@blogger.com
