maybe you should ask Bruce Willis directly :P , it's a long time since i sae "die hard", but iirc there's a scene where Bruce Willis stuffs the first dead terrorist in an elevator with note "now i've got a machine pistol - ho, ho, ho!" (and a santa hat ?!)... imho the christmas episode of the...

calabash trees are common around my present location (costa rican caribbean coast), too -- the indigenous people used them quite extensively in the past but i didn't know about the shampoo and coughing syrup: do you have by chance and infos on how to make them?! and there's even a nearby place...

reminds me of a pic i once saw: a NASA robot lands on some alien planet with two of the aliens watching and one asking the other: "do we have any oil?!"

it was a long time ago i heard this statement, so thanks for correcting me :-) generally spoken wars will continue for as long as some scumbags make money from it.... (and 'strangely' the countries/ governments who are complaining the loudest about others are those who aren't any better than...

in 2010 i worked for a few months on a farm in the Top End (of the NT), which had permission to shoot them (agile wallabies to be exactly) sue to their incredible high number -- ssoo i found myself in the position of being temporarily a semi-professional hunter and decimating their numbers with...
