The navy isn’t big on production pieces. Even their fond farewells leave a lot to the imagination, but I’ll admit, this one did get to me.
The images I would guess are of actual planes I worked on prior to moving from the Air Wing to my eventual job. This is VF-31, the Fighting Tomcatters (no, not very original), but it’s where I spent what were horrible years at the time, but ended up being pretty amazing memories. Watching a plane, in particular, the F-14, take off from the flight deck of a carrier is pretty impressive. Watching it for the last time was probably pretty amazing indeed.
Good bye F-14, you were a shitty plane (always broken), but you will be missed.

This is pretty cool. Someone took footage from the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance from the first and second Back to the Future movies and overlapped them so you can see everything in sequence. The movie producers/directors/editors did quite a good job with continuity!

Here’s a followup story for the guys at Steorn who think they’ve created a way to make unlimited, clean energy we linked to previously. It doesn’t really add any new information except that this thing works of magnets, but it’s still a good read.

We’ve all (probably) heard of Wiccans, a neo-pagan religion in which people worship a primary, feminine Goddess and is generally considered matriarchal in structure and whose adherents refer to themselves as witches. Now welcome the Biccan religion, in which people worship a primary feminine Goddess (themselves) and whose adherents refer to themselves as bitches. Link via the excellent Population Statistic.
