1. This has always been my favorite animation of his

Excellent choice of soundtrack, and very powerful images. God, what have we done to Iraq?

[Rumba]

2. Citations?

This is... horrible.

I want to forward this to an acquaintance, who I'm sure will ask for references to back up the numbers cited. Anyone have a link?

[Downtown Hound]

3. Blumrich used to have a citation posted on his site

but took it down awhile ago. Try this.

www.iacenter.org/depleted/mettoc.htm

Or just do a google on Depleted Uranium. There's all kinds of sites dedicated to it.

4. Synchronicity

Someone on a mailing list at work, in a completely different context, just made trhis assertion:

>Depleted Uranium (DU) is by definition not radioactive. That what the
>depleted means. It's just got a huge density. Iron is about 4.5,
>Uranium is about 13.5, Iridium (not native to earth, read: meteor
>craters or go to the asteroid belt) had about 23.5 (or something like
>that)

Refutations or other factual data?

5. Depleted Uranium is only partially depleted

It's name is yet another Pentagon euphemism, kind of like "collateral damage." See they're not actually lying when they say depleted, because it is partially, but not all the way. Try my link above for more information.

Totmacher

sie ahnten nichts von mir
von meiner wilden gier
doch als du kamst zu mir
da wurde ich ein tier
kein gedanke an danach
als ich dir die knochen brach

tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot

tot

fuer mein naechstes leben
schoepfe ich neue kraft
ich bin dem toeten ergeben
in der einzelhaft

tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot
tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot

ein dahinsichen
von gottes hand
ich kann dich riechen
und das denken verschwand

tot tot tot tot tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot tot tot tot tot

ich mache dich tot ich mache dich tot
ich mache dich tot ich mache dich tot

sag mir was du willst
dass du meine sehnsucht stillst
ich mache dich tot fuer immerdar
von blut alles rot auf gottes altar

tot tot tot ich mache dich tot
tot tot tot von blut alles rot

ich mache dich tot fuer immerdar
ich mache dich tot glaub mir es ist wahr
ich mache dich tot fuer immerdar
ich mache dich tot auf gottes altar

Wumpscut - Deadmaker

They didn't expect me
never expected my wild lust
I turned into an animal
No thought about afterwards
When I broke your bones

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red

Dead

For my next life (life after death in the religious sense)
I get the power I need
I’m a slave to the killing
In solitary confinement

("einzelhaft" (solitary confinment) has become part of the german vocabulary after the terrorist attacks of the Red Army Fraction during the 70's. It's used for people in prison, who are put into complete isolation not just from other people, but from all kinds of information. It's what might be known in the US as "sensual deprivation", a kind of torture-technique to destroy people's self.)

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red
Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red

Wasting away
By God’s hand
I can smell you
And my thought disappeared

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red
Dead, dead, dead, dead

I make you dead I make you dead
I make you dead I make you dead

Tell me what you want
That you fill my longing (that you satisfy my desire)
I make you dead for evermore
God’s altar stained from blood so red

Dead, dead, dead I make you dead
Dead, dead, dead stained from blood so red

I make you dead for evermore
I make you dead believe me its true
I make you dead for evermore
I make you dead on God’s altar
