They used to be called Honor Among Thieves.
Now they're SR-71.

Heh, Are they Trek Fans... Honour Among Thieves and then SR-71 - sure it wasn't SR-558

"Honor among theives" is a rather old saying. The SR-71 Blackbird is a no-longer-used reconnaissance (read: spy) plane.

Actually, the X-Men still use it. And they are real.

Actually, the X-Men plane is only vaguely similar to the real Blackbird. It definatly isn't an SR-71.

Though, I thought NASA was still using 1 SR-71 for testing, specifically with the X-33 VentureStar's new engine.

Well, maybe. But it isn't being used as a spy plane anymore. At least, not that the public knows of... :-)

I've been listening to Radiohead's Kid A for several weeks now. Found some program or other on the web that got me the music even before it was released. Odd.

Anyway, it's possibly the most disturbing album I've ever heard. Quite different to OK Computer.

Gotta love "The National Anthem" and "Idioteque"

The funny thing is, they think you hate them back, when in fact, you just couldn't be bothered to care. Now in Ireland, it's a different story. At least we had the common decency to wait until the English invaded before we started hating them. I guess the Canadians are hating you in advance..."

I just bought it last night, and so far I really like it. "Optimistic" is really good.
