One-way airfare is expensive -- it can be up to
five times as expensive as a normal round-trip flight during certain times of the year. What I'd like to know is this: can I skip the return flight on one of these cheaper round-trip tickets, or would that be asking for a visit from the friendly folks of the TSA?

I'm moving to Germany from the U.S. in six weeks, and I'm looking for advice from anyone who has done something similar.
This thread has been somewhat helpful, but a little too focused on immigration issues (I don't expect a problem with this). [more inside]

Why does North Korea hate America?
Warning: Quicktime video, and NSFW to boot. Anti-American propaganda video made by North Koreans, for North Koreans. Unintentionally funny, or sheer genius? You be the judge.

A new Pew Research poll
confirms the obvious. In 2002 world opinion of the US
was slipping but still fairly high (as discussed in
this thread). Pew now reports that favorable opinion of the US abroad has taken a nose dive. Of course, correllation does not indicate causation, but certainly this is driven by current events. It remains to be seen if this is indicative of a long-term trend.

Modeling the Roman Army.
The author of this site uses CAD software to examine the mechanics and problems of manuevering large masses of men in ancient warfare. Good stuff for people interested in the subject.

Shooting Holes in Wounding Theories.
A long, technical, in-depth essay on how bullets injure and kill living creatures. The
political part of the essay seems to be clearly labled, and is largely confined to a discussion on the infighting that goes on in the field of firearms ballistics. It is not a light read, but might be of interest to the morbidly curious.
