    eh?

    Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors. :)

      The closing line from a short story I read, long ago.

      Unfortunately, no. The story was one of those nuclear armageddon aftermath bits that were popular during the Cold War. I don't remember the story itself, just the closing line.

        Funny how single lines will stick in your memory for years to come. Memory is a strange thing. As I get older I have a hard time remembering what I had for lunch yesterday, but I can remember in fine detail things that happened a half century ago.

          If you think the US will go from close to $700B to less than $50B this year ... you have another thing coming.

          My thoughts exactly.

            Interesting use of the word defense though.

            Fairly standard, the USA has had the largest "defence" budget for many years, and been involved in more "defences" than every other country - either directly, or by funding terrorist organisations to do their dirty work. From the rest of the world's perspective, this is aggression and terrorism (the definition of which is using violence as a form of coercion to achieve political ends). It should be no surprise that the US has itself become a target of terrorism.

              Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

                That would have gone better with the Wolverine comment above.
