LSD and UNIX? I'm sorry that was funny as hell. Maybe you are right though.
Nice little S&W too!
Two Heinlein quotes and one from They Live, and I think my favorite is the one about hitting a frog with a sledgehammer.
Can't think of one I wouldn't agree with, nor not try like hell to implement.
"Because they don't make a .46".
Personally, I think the picture between #10 & #11 is quite dashing...

#15 is from Barry Goldwater.
I may be wrong, (rarely,) but I believe #15 can be attributed to the late Senator Barry Goldwater, and it is one of my favorite quotes of all time.

Borepatch - good one!
Keads - I shouldn't laugh, 10 years ago I still had one program I used professionally that was MS DOS :-)
gret - not too many people would remember "they live". :-)
Irontomflint - that was taken up at Bills guns up in the Minneapolis area. I used to shoot there when business had me in the area. I'd asked if I could take some photos of the store for a blog post for some free advertising and the clerk said no, concerned that customers might be in the shots (I make sure that doesn't happen but I understand their consideration of that). Great store.
armedlaughing and Murphy - thanks. I had that one as unknown, will change.
"They Live" quotes! Excellent! Gotta get me some of those sunglasses.
"They Live" was just on cable the other night! Gotta love Hot Rod Rowdy Roddy Piper! Funny... my wife was not impressed at all when I tried to explain that he was wrestler not an actor... something about he shouldn't quite his day job.
Unix and crap, they both start with C.
hehe hehe
You said "Fortified rear"
hehe hehe
Og, as well, if the "fixed fortifications don't move, they're silicon.
I know Mrs. Og would agree with me, everything may not be perfect, but original is always better.
Tell the oglette I'm going to try and get up and see one of fencing matches if I can get a couple days off after I get back from Dad's.

Now that one got me going this morning..

"17. What happens if a big asteroid hits the Earth? Judging from realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, I can assume it will be pretty bad. "
I read about this once. You get either Bad or Worse. If a big asteroid hits on land, you get Bad: Big flash and shock wave and devastation while much of the heat radiates out into space, bye-bye very large area. If it hits in the water, you get Worse: The heat gets trapped in steam and the nuclear-winter scenario ensues.
Moral: blast the sucker while it's still out in space.
