Some PC took the advantage, "Luck," that's for dam' sure. :) It does raise the question, though. What cargo did that twin-engine puddle-jumper have aboard that made it so imperative to bring it down? And what do you mean, "nobody knows" who actually owns the small craft that hit it?

Less weird than just cool -- how Victorian era factories and prevailing wind patterns effected and still effect English cities.

18-elephants-killed-in-lightning-strikes-in-assams-nagaonSounds like poachers with electrolasers to me.

So I learned today that "zombie" was British slang for a policewoman in the 1950s (and likely earlier). Anyone know why?

Best I can find is a contemporaneous usage of "zombie" to mean an extremely dour and joyless prison guard; possibly it derives from a perception of female coppers as likewise dour and joyless

I think this is an unfair stereotype. I know many zombies and they are party people. Who do you think does the Dance of the Dead?

Man, "British Invasion" becomes a totally new meaning.

I am not sure, but Canada had a Zombie Army during WW II (= conscripts who could not be ordered to overseas service).
