There Has Been A Slight Technical Hitch

Don't Panic
 - and, no, this has nothing to do with "The Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy", although let me tell you I did catch it on the radio when it was first broadcast and it was plainly something very different, even if it was faintly bizarre.

An Okapi, which is also faintly bizarre

     Anyway, I'm sure there are people (for want of a better word) - actually no, let's call them what they are, conspiranoid loonwaffles - who might read that title, recall what I wrote earlier about the Cassini probe and instantly leap to conclusions.
     "OMG NASA IS GOING TO BLOW UP JUPITER WITH ATOM BOMBS!!!*"

"OMG LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE SHEEPLE!!!"

     Conrad (acting as the Voice Of Reason): No, they aren't.  Firstly, the probe is in orbit around Saturn -
     "OMG NASA ARE GOING TO BLOW UP SATURN AS WELL!!! WITH ATOM BOMBS!!!"
     Conrad:  There is no nuclear fission involved.  The probe is run by a Radioactive Thermoelectric Generator.
     "Stop trying to confuse us with big words.  WAKE UP SHEEPLE EARTH IS NEXT!!!"
     Conrad:  Even if Cassini were a thermonuclear weapon, it's minute compared to the mass of Saturn.  It wouldn't even be noticed if it went off in a 100 megaton blast.
     "NASA confesses!  Sorry, NASA CONFESSES!!!  Jupiter, then Saturn, then Earth.  WAKE UP SHEEP-"
     Conrad (getting very shirty):  Why would NASA blow themselves up?  
     "OMG Conrad is part of the conspiracy!"
     Conrad:  Conspiracy?  WHAT conspiracy?
     "There's the smoking gun!!!  Anyone who denies the conspiracy is part of it!!!"

     - and so it would continue.  Then they would post photographs of Schoemaker-Levy 9 hitting Jupiter and claim this was proof that NASA had blown up Saturn.  If it was pointed out to them that Saturn - and Jupiter - were still there, then the response would be that it was a hologram or that an international conspiracy of astronomers were keeping the truth from you -

Jupiter gets kissed by SL9

     Don't snigger, this is what conspiranoid loonwaffles believe, which of course is nothing whatsoever to do with the blog title.
     What I meant is that I had photos to load up, and Blogger wasn't reading the phone, despite plugging the lead back in at least three times.  Nor did refreshing Blogger, nor quitting out of it, nor killing the internet.  I had to power off the laptop, then turn it on again because I wanted those photos.
     Er - although I've written so much of this Intro that I may not need them all now.
     Oh well, the show must go on.

Conrad, demonstrating - er - demonstrating something.

Some People Have Entirely Too Much Time On Their Hands
Yes, yes, I am being ironic, seeing as how I've been creating the magic that is BOOJUM! on a daily basis for <thinks> nearly 4 years now.  
     Okay, Art, let them have it.

Behold

     I don't know if you can see the caption, which states: 100 US Marines vs 60,000 zombies.  That small dark square in the middle of the screen is the marines, and that amorphous grey mass is the zombies.
     This appears to have been created by the "Epic Battle Simulator", and the person behind it - has too much time on their hands created something rather hilarious.
     Of course it's not realistic - come on, how can 60,000 zombies be assessed in the cold hard light of 'realistic'? - because the zombies drop wherever they get hit, the marines never run out of ammo or reload, and there are no casualties from friendly fire.  A lot of the tracers seem to be fired over the heads of the revenant horde, too.  Well, I suppose that these are symptoms of the Epic Battle Simulator's engine.
     

This is here because you can never have too many pens

Finally
Because we need a short final article, allow me to present you with this beauty.  Art?

That chap at the front is on borrowed time

     This is not some terrifying trench-warfare weapon invented by Perfidious Albion to eat unfortunate Teutons alive, it's actually a French trench-digging machine.  Judging from the trench already dug it's in reverse, or those interested spectators are going to get a gore shower.


*  I agree that 3 exclamation marks is a bit over the top but that's these people conspiranoid loonwaffles for you.
