Subscribed! :D

Egypt... always the first domino in the middle east ala arab spring. Yeah i think you are right Tanner in having a arab rebellion in the middle east. It will, at the very least, make things much more interesting. And in case you misread my previous post i was agreeing with you about the...

There is only one word to describe this update... badass! total badass! About the immunity thing which a few people might raise an issue with. Well back in the 40s medicine was based upon a few assumptions with regards to race, like the differences in the physiology and hence immunity of the...
