Cypher

A UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) developed by Sikorsky. It basically consists of a donut-shaped engine (with rotary blades) with a little camera attached a few feet above it. The Cypher project has really been a black project and will probably continue to be for a while, but its tests have gone quite well. The Cypher can be remote-controlled, or even automated. The images captured by Cypher's camera are relayed to a computer that is managed by a distant specialist, and perhaps various options can be accessed from that laptop, such as NV or IR vision.

Although there are many other UAV drones that have already been deployed into the legitimate battlefield, the Cypher should still be an excellent tool for reconaissance.

"The Cypher was popularized in Metal Gear Solid 2. But let's see how much more popular it becomes in real-life."

Lake Superior

The world's largest lake, located inbetween Canada and the USA. States linked to Lake Superior are Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

On an important note, the reason for the hypocritical weather (IOW : constant weather changes here & there) in these states is because of Lake Superior. Apparently, from a non-scientific perspective, the lake is so large that the atmosphere around it is changed rapidly, so you may never know what the weather may be like, regardless of what weather reporters tell you.

"Lake Superior is also shaped like a monster's head."

It's what a small baby spits up. Milk- and saliva-based goo.

Sweet Pea just splarfed on Olive's shoulder again!

opidiot

Stupid people who talk too long and too hard about subjects that they clearly have no knowledge of, usually whilst trying to be ironic and humourous into the bargain.

Anyone who appears on shows such BBCs 'I love 19xx' or Channel4s '100 greatest ...' .
