Get the **** in!!!!

Nailed it. Now don't blow up!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

The legs worked but it's gonna blow up

If only the Roman empire had developed the stream engine, we'd have had the industrial Revolution in 200ad and man on the moon in 300ad.

We would now be at the technology year 3670ad. Bagsy the holodeck.

We could have Minds running everything while we live a hedonistic lifestyle experimenting with our drug glands and trying to get in Contact and Special Circumstances.
