i've been watching the yankees/rays series over the past few days and i have a question about tropicana field.

why is is that whenever something hits the grass at the trop there ia ALWAYS a splash of some kind? it's like the ball hits water and there is always a splash of something that shoots up. i find this odd since the rays play in a fully enclosed dome and it's not possible for any rain to get in. does anyone know what the "splash" is and why it happens? if you dont believe me, you can look it up online. seriously, it happens every time.

why is the 3rd game in a baseball series called the RUBBER GAME? what does that even mean or signify? it makes no sense.

does anyone out there know why they altered the cover for iron maiden's 'no prayer for the dying' album? the cover used to have a man with a lantern on it. now it just has eddie coming out of the grave. anyone know why they changed it? it looks stupid now.

i'm curious to know why the space shuttle (or any space vehicle) isn't nuclear powered? instead of wasting billions of gallons of fuel to send the shuttle into space, why dont they just make them nuclear? the navy has tons of battleships and aircraft carriers that are nuclear, so why not just take that same idea and apply it to the space shuttle??

discuss.

does anyone here know how to make pictures on facebook bigger when you click on them? every time i, or anyone else, clicks on them, they dont get bigger so you can see them more clearly. they just stay small. i dont understand this and dont know how to fix it. i have all these same pics on my myspace page and it works fine on there, just not on facebook.

so if anyone here knows how to fix this, please answer and give as much of a step-by-step description as you can.

i'd really like to get this fixed a.s.a.p.

ok i have a few questions about mobsters on myspace. just some things that have been irking me lately. so if you have an answer for any of these, please explain below. and by explain, i mean a detailed answer please.

1. is there ANY WAY to get more favor points FOR FREE that does not involve me paying money that i dont have, or having to 'take a survey' that never works or 'complete an offer' that requiers me to pay money and enter my CC number?? please dont answer if anything you're going to say will make me have to do any of those things.

2. are there any codes or cheats for the game?? if so, how do you use them.

3. is there any way to make energy regeneration speed up? waiting 3 hrs for it to give me a measley 30 points is really irritating and i need a way for it to regenerate faster. yes, i know you can get it from the godfather, but again, that requires money, so NO.

4. why do some missions keep requiring me to get more mob members, and then still wont let me complete the mission?? there is one in particular, the one where you get the police badge as a reward, that does this. it always tells me, 'you need 2 (or however many) more mobsters to complete this mission', but then after i get the required amount of new mobbies, it still wont let me do the mission. it just keeps telling me that i need to get more and more mobbies. WTF??! any clue why it is doing this, or maybe is it something i'm missing?? any help is appreciated.

5. why cant i kill anybody?? everytime i go to the hit list and try to kill someone, it wont let me. i always lose! no matter how big their mob is. even if it's significantly smaller than mine. so how do you kill someone and collect the bounty? i know i'm missing something here, i just dont know what it is. please give a very detailed explanation for this so i can learn how to do it.

6. how the hell do people get so much money???!! i've seen people at like, level 5, have billions of dollars and tons of equipment, and henchmen (even the high favor point ones), and propertys, and cars...... really??!! at level 5??!!! how is that possible?? and how can i do it?? again, a detailed answer would be appreciated.

ok i think thats it for now. any and all help on these issues will be greatly appreciated by me. (dont forget the details!)

thank you for trying to help!

anyone who plays mobsters on myspace, feel free to add me to your mobs!!! myspace.com/jimthar

you can also add me for OVERDRIVE at that same addy.

MOB UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok can someone please explain to me why when the v.i.p.'s come to your park and you meet all their expectations, you STILL FAIL TO IMPRESS THEM!!! i dont understand it. i meet all of their expectations of everything they want to see and be in the park and their tolerances, yet everytime they leave i get the dreaded 'you have failed to impress the v.i.p.' crap. and i dont understand why. this has happened in several scenarios. a lot of times they wont even go to the ride or attraction that they're meant to go to. wtf???

so does anyone reading this know why this happens?? could you please tell me? and also tell me what mistake i may be making or what i can do to fix this problem. it's really irritating because this issue is preventing me from advancing through the game. i get stuck on scenario objectives because of this problem.

any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

btw i have the version of the game that has all of the expansion packs. (wild and soaked)

....of this list

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/...

it's a list of the top 100 metal albums of all time. it was compiled by METAL HAMMER magazine in greece.

your thoughts? opinions?

i thought it was a good list. a lot of classic and legendary albums on here.

i did however have a few problems here and there....

1. 'puppets' should not be number one. i'd have that one at maybe 3 or 4. maiden and priest should be one and two.

2. too many metallica albums on there. yeah they've made some great albums but seriously, not all of them should be on the list.

3. 'rust in peace' is WAAAYYYY too low on this list. it deserves to be much higher.

4. nirvana, pink floyd, led zep, tool, deep purple, rainbow....are NOT metal bands. they shouldnt be on this list. PF....metal? really?

5. where the hell are testament? anthrax? primal fear?

6. few too many iron maiden albums as well. love maiden but anyone who thinks that 'fear of the dark' was one of the best metal albums ever is a bit on the slow side.

7. where is quiet riot?? they had the first metal album to EVER hit number one but they are glaringly omitted form this list. metal health is a classic.

8. no poison or ratt? wow. other 80's metal titans are on there but these 2 were left off?

9. no king diamond or merciful fate?? glaring omissions.

overall i'd say it was a really good list, despite it's flaws. i like that they mixed all the genres (yet they left off nu metal for some reason) like 80's, thrash, prog, death, power, etc and came up with a great list of music.

also happy to see that bands like helloween, savatage, kreator, accept, etc.. have finally made on to one of these lists. if this had been a list made in america, none of these bands would have been on it. (most likely)
