How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

We had something like that here. The clouds were almost touching the ground. There were even sections in the clouds that were spinning while the bulk of the clouds they were part of remained still. VERY COOL!

If lightning hits the ground in one place several times... run.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I'm always amused when scientists adopt the position. "Well we already know everything so this is just bullshit."

100% agreed. Talk about hubris.

Obviously, the things which we see don't really exist, or we'd have known about them already. Like the extinction of the coelocanth...

What do you guys think we should call them? Alien Invasion clouds?

Really cool clouds works for me.

I think I'll call them... "clouds." It just sounds right.
