The expansion of suburbia hasn't helped, either.

People who moved into my town within the last few years keep trying to supress the expansion of/close down an airport that has been there since 1930, and has historic importance (The AOPA was formed there), not to mention local public safety importance (the medevac helicopter is based there).

They've successfully killed the building of a hospital, which probably means that flushed with their success, they'll take another try at Wings.

Just for the record (although I have easily been bested)

So glad I printed this - I can't screen print, this is a photo of a printout. Was just experimenting at the time, but 7 games later have realised how flukey my fluke was...

I've since found if you don't move (having a trackerball mouse helps) you will get a fence ricochet almost every time.

Just got this score:
Bounces: 2395
Accidents: 4
Final Score: 7414449 (as this resets it's pretty damn useless)

Good fun until I learned the trick though

It's a Christmas version of 20 questions. Eerily intelligent.

How did I do it?! Photoshop!

Did you guys know you can pump the rifle more than once? You can also cheat by changing the score in an image editing software.

Oh. My. God.

You have to see these.

Check these worst-dressed pictures. What the hell is up with Natalie Portman looking like a malnourished Star Trek reject. Or Lindsay Lohan and her "heroin not-so-chic" look? Trust me, you WILL feel better about yourself. All the money in the world doesn't buy style or class!
