If Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was on that chart, that chart would be 9.4605284×10^21 pixels long, since 1 pixel = 10 meters.

I don't think that counts.

Quote:It has been confirmed in the data books that the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is 10 million light years in height. This makes it roughly one hundred times the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy, and also makes it the largest mecha seen in anime to date.

I don't speak french does anyone know how this works?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism

Many materials exhibit a diamagnetic effect when supercooled (a la liquid nitrogen like he's using). It looks like he's got a track made out of nickel rare earth magnets in some sort of alternating pole configuration, then a cup with what looks like a pyrolitic carbon baseplate. The carbon, when cooled, generates a repelling magnetic field in the presence of an external field, causing the thing to float.

you go Senators. Damn the government for interfering in the free market.

(description of the bill in question - "an amendment to a Defense Appropriations bill that would prevent the Pentagon from doing business with contractors who force employees into binding arbitration over rape and sexual assault charges.")
I seriously hope you're not serious. There shouldn't be any way for a company - through any sort of contract with an employee - to prevent something as heinously criminal as rape to go completely unpunished. It's a crime, as in police should be involved. Did you even read what was done to the woman whose particular story caused this legistation to go forward?

Double post, I don't know if posting this in the lulz thread would be right, so...

Interesting, but they really rag on the show in the article. Perhaps if the author were to browse to the Official Fansite instead of taking cheap shots at a tiny Canadian animation firm, there would be more meat then cotton in the post.

You're locked in a dark room with a computer terminal, and not much else. It's connected to the Internet

I can't read. I posted a lulz thing in the wrong topic. I'll look for something cool in the meantime.
