    I, Robot , I Soldier.

    Humans have always been good at finding ways to kill each other more effectively. Theres an emotional disconnect when it comes to killing in game, millions of people do it, it wouldn't be hard to have robots in war with a human controlling it, you could probably make them think it was a...

    Could you live in this?

    I live mainly on my own so i could live in it no problem, my environmental responsibilities say i should get a smaller house. It's good that Britains have the smallest homes in Europe, it's pretty safe to assume that American or possibly Canadians have the largest average houses. It's better...

    Bear Grylls and Scouting

    Typo on the third paragraph, i was referring to mears being very annoyed about being asked to do the remake of survival as this seems odd given his interests and profession, Though judging by his programs he probably won't mind being on a cooking show. Also if we look at youtube you'll see a...

    Bear Grylls and Scouting

    Sub Zero Crew (Fahrenheit not Centigrade)

    Hope you guys have fun. Have to agree with grey owl if you've not spent at least a few weeks in those temperatures you may find it very very diificult to just set up camp, you can't really get away with making a less than perfect job and firewood demands are unbelievably high compared to...
