I'm now watching Gladiator. My decision was made for me this day. It's an awesome flick, it's just that I've seen it about 10 times already.

Great, now I'm off into random land.

I think this thread went into random land on the first post

I agree, Gladiator is awesome. One of those movies I could watch weekly and never tire of

I can't watch any movie weekly and never tire of. Though, the starwars family guy episode makes me want to watch those again. It's been years.

My brother owns the whole original trillogy in a very nice set. We're working on getting I, II and III. 'Nothing like Star Wars.

I could have done without I, II, and III, but that's just me. I actually never saw III. I don't know if it's because they really weren't as good as the originals, or if it's just that my taste in movies has changed. But it's got me nervous about the next Indy film, because that's my all-time favorite movie series.

Same here. Really love that Movie . And I can watch it over and over again.

One of my favorite quotes from Russel Crowe :

"What we do in life , Echoes to Eternity"

Episode One was eerily similar to the annexation of Hawai'i in the real world.

Mars Revealer has actually been helpful and provided a moderator at Mars...A Red Planet Roundtable Discussion with a requested Viking image number.

My guess is that the dark object in his processed image of f466a15 is Phobos. Small .gif images of this and two others with this dark object, f466a16 and f466a18, can be viewed here. Larger .imq files of this series can be found here.

The only similar image of this type that I am aware of is the one the Viking 2 orbiter took in 1977.

And as usual, the "MAD MARTIAN" delivers more abuse than any real knowledge.

Looks like Phobos to me. The concentric crater system (Voltaire?) is fairly unmistakable.

This looks an awful lot like the cave on Mars image recently discussed...

The edges of the dark shape aren't as evenly rounded as in the cave pics.

There IS a conspiracy here, a conspiracy by conspiracy theriosts to only post their conspiracy theories as soon as I go offshore for a month. This is PROOF that they are MONITORING my every move AND will stop at NOTHING TO SPOIL MY FUN.

The moderators are in on this un-holy alliance too. Banning them before I get a chance to even think of an answer.

Could any future conspiracy theorists please take my 28 days on 28 days off rotation into consideration prior to posting.

Casus_belli is right. I'm in on the conspiracy, and am constantly monitoring Cesus_belli's internet activity. Consider me to be a whistle blower.

This definetly will have some negative results on my paycheck.

Don't mind BertL.
When I look at my traffic monitor, this month the sum on your paycheck is negligible anyway. They cannot cut it that much.
