Polands's Worst Air Disaster occurred today when a small two-seater Cessna 152 plane crashed into a cemetery early this afternoon in central Poland.

Polish search and rescue workers have recovered 300 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the evening.

You know you haven't played enough SE4 when...

You find yourself saying, "Select racial traits?!? What is this, some kind of evil Nazi eugenics program?!? "

You don't understand the subtle reasoning behind the "attack base" design type... "how can a base attack? it just SITS there! "

You think that SM is something kinky that goths do in their free time

---

You know you've played TOO MUCH SE4 when...

you wonder why the people of Iraq are so angry - there are so many troops over there!

You think that gold costs $40 a copy, not $400 an ounce

You believe that when Germany took over Poland in WWII, the Poles still looked like Poles, still breathed their own atmosphere, but otherwise took on all outward resemblance of Germans.

Want to hear something funny? Nasa is actually doing serious research on personal flying vehicles. They are a car/plane combo that needs very little runway to take off and land. the idea is to have many tiny airports near work centers and have people fly to and land nearby then drive the few miles to work.

This is supposed to help relieve the congestion on the highways. Gee, now we'll have to worry about falling cars. I wonder what that will do to car insurance?

LoL Cheers!

Sorry. No mention of car/plane combos. Considering how many Canadian communities are totally dependent on air taxis services, I would think that you would welcome the concept. In the past, especially before WW2, the USA had a lot more local small (potentially commuter) airports. They have been in even a steeper decline recently as traffic at the hubs exceeds capacity.
