Where there's a will, there's a way.

Thanks for that.

What's the brass scrap value of the boy? [Abused]

Where does one start designing something like that? Makes my head hurt.

I watched the first moon walk, in an elementary school auditorium, on a black and white TV.

Missed the boy writing his first words by a few days. [Bang]

Never saw either vids, thanks for posting, even if "again". Cool stuff.

That's very impressive. It's still difficult today with computers, but not nearly as difficult, so to see it having been done 200+ years ago is mindblowing.

Well, when NASA's focus is "muslim outreach", I'm fine with not throwing more money at them.

that's cool and all, but did anyone find that creepy? I have this fear of dolls coming to life and this totally reminded me of it, especially porcelain dolls. *shivers*

There was a movie made in the early 1990s called Dolls. I think you should check it out.

Did you ever see the Puppet Master Series? Freaked me out big time.
