I have often wondered if anyone that has a loft layout and has a heater up there to warm the place up during the winter has been mistaken for a weed farmer.

I'm told that an night, or when there's no snow, helicopters or drones with infra-red cameras make such detection work much easier. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had Jean Reno in it, took very valid pot shots at Americans who thought themselves superior, and had a more realistic Godzilla in that it didn't look like a man in a suit. Yes, it's a guilty pleasure, but I do enjoy it. Also the surround sound was very good. Something that a lot of movies neglect because the director prefers to concentrate on visual effects. That was the problem I had with The Matrix. A collection of cute visual effects but when the opportunity arose for some stunning surround sound - the lobby scene - he totally fumbled it. If you want to hear decent surround sound for a gun battle try the beach scene of Saving Private Ryan. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's blatantly obvious that post is mocking that accident. Why do you think it's trending on Facebook..... No idea. Having never opened a Facebook account I have no idea what goes on on that platform. Your response here only serves to confirm the validity of my decision. 1 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds flocking on the roof and never any frost or snow. Oh, and metal grills over the windows. No surprise when it was surrounded by Police vehicles early one morning. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
