Not necessarily. If the tree was a single tree in a field, then yes. If it was a tree in a forest, then no. Unless it was substantially higher than the rest of the trees. But anyway, the best thing to do when in a lightning storm, is to go away from solitary high things and lie flat on the ground. Or, should you be driving in a car, stay in the car. It'll act as a Faraday cage and won't be dangerous for those inside. However, be warned that when you want to go out, you'll have to find some way to earth it. Otherwise, it'll earth through you, and you'll be zapped anyway.

No, Kitty Needs has more feel. It almost seems as though the band forgot to add the last word(s). It adds to the sphere of mystery. And besides, if Prince can call himself O(+>, why wouldn't they be allowed to name themselves 'Kitty Needs '?

Oh, almost forgot: you could also call it Hedgeclipper.

Chances are, this will happen. However, they'll do it gradually. Most likely by bringing up the legal age to 18, prohibit smoking in public places, prohibiting smoking on the job, in the vicinity of children, decreasing the amount of shops where you can buy fags, making them extremely expensive etc.
Surely, people would still be against it, but if done gradually, the populace will have less objection to each step than if you did it abruptly. That's what they did wrong with the prohibition.

Note: maybe not those, maybe not in that order, I'm no politician/jurist/...

Just 'Kitty Needs '. With a space after 'Needs'. It keeps some air of mystery around it: what exactly does this Kitty need? It's left to the audience to fill in themselves -based on your music- what the thing is that Kitty needs.

We then threw the deodorant can on the fire after we thought there wasn't much left. We waited for a while, and nothing happened, so we decided to leave. As soon as we turned around, we all heard a massive boom and the can had exploded, singeing every leaf in a near perfectly spherical area. We all ran as we thought people in golf course next to us migh have heard.

Ahh, fun times!

Seriously? Starting a fire in a forest? That's just plain retarded. Hasn't Smokey the Bear taught you anything? And throwing an aerosol can into it isn't a very smart thing to do either.

You're not alone. Also, as I was watching, and they revealed the Stig, my first though was: 'How long until someone posts a thread about this?

Q: What is one's Batting Average?

A:Batting Average is average score for an author's Flash submissions. Only users who have submitted at least three Flash movies/games have this statistic. Posts, Experience, Blams/Saves, or popularity do not factor into a user's batting average.

Yaay, FAQ.

Even though discovered in 1781, it's current name wasn't employed until 1850. Before that, it was called 'Georgium Sidus', or 'Herschel'. Respectively after the English king and it's discoverer. In 1850, it was the name that Bode, a German, had earlier suggest that has been made official. And so, it's called Uranus. And even more, in ancient Greek (and most likely new Greek) It's pronounced Ouranos.

How does this work? Do they pull out your pubes one by one and weave a rope from them? By which you are then hanged...

You mean like this? The white edge is VERY easily edited away.
Or mayhaps this one?

Just a simple Google for 'Solar panel'....

The first pic is rather nice. Perhaps move the horizon a bit up or down, so that it's approximately on 1/3 of the photo. Preferably down, so his head isn't cut off by the horizon. It isn't so big a deal if it's 'through' his body. Ideally this should also be the case for the subject. Here it doesn't bother that much. Oh and make sure your horizon's straight, unless you can make it obvious it shouldn't be.

The second is a bit less good. Her pose is a bit bland. A good job on the editing, everything is nicely selected at a first glance. Here it would've been better if she was a bit more to the left. Or on the right, facing the left. Seeing how the background on the left is busier than the one on the right. As for a whole, I think it's a bit cliché, the faux-old look, with the edges blurry and the background black and white. It' might've worked better if you reduced the saturation on her a bit. Not as much, but a bit. And the contrast of B&W-colour works best with really bright colours, such as red and bright yellow.

But yeah, photography thread. Which you already found apparently.

Time travel to the past is possible, but with limitations: you can only go so far back as the 'time machine' is created.

That's right, I read a book.
