Ouch... a sore subject! That’s great, except I’m now wondering, if we will see a satellite image of the remains of Beagle 2 having crash landed on Mars.

Does anyone realise that when the martian invade they have a ready made plan the form of Google Earth? It highlights all the places they have to attack first, and even has Area 51 on it for Bobs sake! We are doooomed! Ooo-laa! Even the Tom Cruise film was good…yes it was!

Wonderful!). The radio play is complete genius also. Strangely I never liked the original book all that much!

I let it go til it's made at least a full rotation, then I do it again in a different random direction. I repeat a couple times until I definitely have no idea what part of the world it is, and I stop it somewhere on land. Then I look around a bit and try to figure out where I am without having to zoom out or turn on labels. Yeah, it's a pretty full life I lead.

War of the Worlds is awesome -- the concept of the book, the panic sparked by the audioplay, the musical version. Everything but the movie, which reduced the events of the book to the background for some standard emotional drama... I love that song.
