How huge? It ate dinosaurs, for one thing. Paleontologists have turned up a fairly complete fossil of a crocodile 40 feet long, over 15 feet in girth, weighing 18,000 pounds, with 4-foot jaws. After examining the croc's meat-shredding teeth and calculating its nutrition requirements, one scientist pronounced the species, Sarcosuchus imperator , ''amazingly nasty animals.'' ....The fossilized skeletons were found in a remote, unusually arid region of the Sahara Desert. But 110 million years ago, in an era of global warming, the area was a swampy jungle laced with broad and deep rivers. And here the paleontologists may have given ammunition to those who fret about the greenhouse effect: Not only could we lose Florida and Louisiana to global warming, but we could be overrun with crocodiles the size of city buses. Life-size models of megacroc will go on display next month at the National Geographic in Washington and the Los Angeles Natural History Museum and then tour the country.

The Echo box set didn't come with an "extras" CD - you might be thinking of the recent New Order release. That said, there is plenty of hard-to-find and previously unavailable material on the Echo 4-disc set, including a variety of b-sides, alternate versions, single versions, remixes, unreleased songs (even a few recorded with the drummer from New Order in between their 4th and 5th albums), and of course a healthy sampling of album tracks. The collection is well worth getting, even if you have all their other records. - --Jason "did anyone mention NIN's 'fistfuck'?"

Since it ran from like 1963 to the mid-'80's, they would usually redesign and reconceptualize the baddies every time they showed up. Hence all you really need to know is that Cybermen are bad, mmmkay, and they're allergic to gold, mmmmkay? And Daleks remained threatening despite the fact that they couldn't clear a speedbump or grasp simple tools with that toilet plunger hand. Oh, but it was a series of serials. So if you saw the whole serial edited together, as it was when the fine PBS station in Morgantown showed it, it would make sense.

BTW this all reminds me of a piece I read in the 80s during the height of my comicbookgeekdom in the '80s, about a guy who inadvertenly broke one of the unspoken rules of comic book writing by naming a character "The Flicker"... that being against the rules because comic book text is printed in all caps and the word FLICK was strictly verboten because of the inevitable drop of stray printer's ink joining the bottom of the L to the I.

I recently resubbed after a year or two away (hi everyone!) with the full intention of being a perma-lurker, but I can't help myself: The song you're talking about here is actually just called "Fucker." There's another song in the Eels catalog called "It's a Motherfucker," which is arguably even prettier. Once I saw E play them back-to-back live... it doesn't get any better than that, people.
