There's a reason they call it the BUFF. Big Ugly Fat Fucker.

Funny you say that. I inherited an I pod a couple of days ago from my young nephew who now has an I phone instead.
As I was putting in new tracks I noticed he had named the phone, 'Fat Fucker'.
I just can't work out how he knew back then that it would end up in my hands. :-)

Ah, for some reason I read vorlon's post saying B-52, not B2.
The B-52 Stratofortress is called BUFF, not the B2 Spirit.
Here they are together:

My mistake.

@ SteelCurtain
Did they simply launch the Trident upwards and let it fall down a few miles down (as opposed to across the globe)? Why does one see "lightning bolts", do they glow from reentry or do they have a motor running?

I am not sure if the re-entry vehicles were actually part of the same Trident missile or if they were staged just for show. I hadn't thought too hard about that till now. They appeared like rockets but moving alarmingly fast, like a meteor shower but with massive water columns on impact. It was dusk, so the sun was behind us and there was cloud cover, so the 10 RVs rained down crazy fast through the clouds. It seemed they had motors, but it could have been a glow. I am now thinking they were flare like for show---like the "bombs" on the beach. Although I don't know how they got the ballistics to look right. I am confused now.

You thought the breaking glass video was fast?

Quote: The researchers made a camera sensitive enough to pick up the few photons of laser light that scatter in air. The camera is made of a grid of detectors measuring 32 x 32 able to take images with precision and extreme speed. The team says that the camera is snapping the equivalent of 20 billion frames per second.

I believe that's a B-52, not a B-2.
Edit: Oops, late to the party.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Laser etched nano patterns create a super-hydrophobic surface on metal:
There's also a bit about super-hydrophilic metal. That capillary action tho!

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
