You should really do a little bit of research before declaring as "strawman" a position that someone on this board actually holds. Strawman implies that I made up that position, which is not true. Had you been a real investigative engineer, you'd have known that.

I'm giving up on David Andrews. Haven't the slightest idea who that is.

ahem six syllables six syllables ahemahemahem!

Did I ask how it sounds? ;)-->

Well, you got me there. It's not. I'm now firmly back in my place. I am duly corrected.

A very beneficial amount. If you're a fish.

Very good. For those who didn't capice, read the haiku backwards (starting from the last word in the last line).

Here, I'll swipe this one from the other message board: actually, this is one of the best clues I've ever seen. began all it where is this that, see will you and end the from this Start

I cheated after my guess, so I can say with confidence, Pirate, you are correct.

Full Metal Jacket?

Manhunter. It was made in the late 1980s, before Silence of the Lambs. Brian Cox was Hannibal. Michael Mann directed. Good flick. Red Dragon was basically a remake of Manhunter. In some ways the later film was more faithful, but I've always liked Manhunter better.

The first one scared the bejeezus our of me, and to this day I can't tell you why. This one is just silly beyond words.

Excellent. Frankie's the only one to appear in all four Hannibal Lecter movies.

I'd have gotten To Have and Have Not. In general, you should wait at least one full day before throwing in the towel. P.S. Your movies are not too obscure. I think it's great.

Ah, now there's one I reckinize. Butterfield 8 And since I'm sure I'm right: "Never stop fighting till the fight is done."

Forgive the error. engineers masquerading as biochemists. Happy?

Why am I not surprised? :)-->

Aw, come on, Dave, I'm not impugning your motives at all! :)-->

You can always type "Actual Errors" into the search box. But then, if you knew how to search the internet, I doubt you'd be peddling burp water.

Need hints? Links can bring you to Pleasantville, The Ring, X-Men 2 or, if you're really good, the Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and/or Red Dragon.

On a more serious note: Dave, I really don't care if you read the thread or not. Once again, my self-worth is not dependent on whether you or anyone else reads threads that I start. I am not impressed with the number of posts or the number of views, as you appear to be. I don't make a point of taking a dying thread and prolonging it unnecessarily by pointing out its statistics. Do you know what I do when one of my threads is dying? Let it die. I see you and I differ on that point. I see also that Penta water is bunk, not from failing to look at the evidence, but from looking at: a. the evidence b. the lack of evidence c. the absurdity of some of your claims. d. all of the above. Correct answer: D. P.S. More people believe in UFOs than ever heard of PFAL.

Yo mama. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were namecalling now. I didn't realize we were now engaging in a far more sophisticated form of namecalling: engineers masquerading as nutritionists edition. My mistake.

I believe that is the correct spelling. Groundhog Day Chris Elliot Manhunter

Yup.

Hiya. Incorrect.
