    WHERE exactly can pigs be trained to play video games? Speaking of pigs and video games, the visual novel Clannad — which includes a boar in the cast — was released today in 2004.

    Jack Ryan dreamed up a woman with a 44 DD bra size and a 10 inch waist size. He was a real pioneer.

    That assembly plant is so big, it has its own weather patterns inside it. It’s one of the only places where it can genuinely rain indoors.

    Also, similar fact to the first: Hedy Lamarr helped develop radio hopping technology for guided torpedos in WW2.

    The Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center is so large that it has its own weather conditions inside

    I presume that the engineer Jack Ryan is no relation to Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst or Jeri’s ex husband

    Well, if you can’t get a date any other way, manufacture one.

    Hopefully, the missiles that Jack Ryan designed were more proportionally correct than the Barbie doll.

    Largest one story building? What, in square footage? Or height? Or, perhaps the building is especially well-endowed in the breast department?

    No wonder she looks like a pencil.

    Take care, may frothing Led Zeppelin groupie Becky “Acid Flush” Sorensonord be with you, and gesundheit.

    And after designing the Barbie Doll, Jack Ryan began working for the CIA and eventually became POTUS.

    Before working on missile systems Jack Ryan was a CIA analyst.

    Except they always hog the controllers.

    But what a story!

    I think I’ve heard that pigs are suppose to be one of the smartest animals ever.

    That NASA assembly building is so big (How big is it?) that it has it’s own weather system. (Rain, fog, etc..)

    Then I guess it’s kinda strange that Jack Ryan didn’t give Ken a ‘guided missile’…

    Did they wind tunnel test Barbie dolls for aerodynamics? There seems to be a lot of lift in some of her surface areas.

    I’ve visited Kennedy Space Center and the building is awesomely huge! It has to be tall enough that the Atlas rockets can stand up and be rolled out to the launch site.

    It doesn’t amaze me that pigs can be taught to play video games. When in their natural surroundings— not on filthy, joyless factory farms— pigs are social, playful, protective animals who bond with each other, make nests, relax in the sun, and cool off in the mud. Pigs are known to dream, recognize their own names, learn “tricks” like sitting for a treat, and lead social lives of a complexity previously observed only in primates

    Let me guess: they purposely let the Chinese hack their “Ken” diagrams to mess with their guidance systems?

    Not only did Jack design missiles and create Barbie, but he also had time to spy for the CIA on the side? Impressive.

    Looks like he designed a guided muscle system first…

    Shouldn’t that be “tallest one story building”? I mean I don’s doubt it covers a lot of ground but…
