I only just figured out what it is Leia says to Han in episode IV when they get back from blowing up the death star. I must have seen that film well into the double figures, and only tonight have I finally figured out what the hell that screech was in words, perhaps it was the enhanced sound quality of the DVD version that allowed me to pick it out. Anyone that hasn't figured it out, I'll not spoil it for you.

In case anyone mistook my earlier short entry to be about the Virginia Tech massacre, I thought I'd point out that it was in no way related and was general cynacism. I don't think much can be said about what happened in Virginia, it's a tragic waste of life but an almost predictable consequence of depression (especially in an enviroment such as a university which similarly to cities can be extremely lonely places) and a country where it is easy to legally obtain firearms.
Watching how the news stories about something so serious were made as almost always made me angry at the Media. The BBC trying to put fear into the country suggesting it could somehow happen here, like he ease of obtaining handguns is even comparble between our countries, and ITN trying to suggest it was the police and law enforcement agencies fault that this happened because there was over a two hour delay between the inital double murder and the massacre. So apparently the vast majority of murders are followed by a killing spree, so obviously the police should have shut down the whole university. Fucking Media...

It's funny how so many guys find so many ways to try and prove they are a man, when all they are really doing is demonstrating they are still a boy.
