(1999) is the nineteenth spy film in the James Bond film series, and the third to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film was directed by Michael Apted, with the original story and screenplay written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Bruce Feirstein.[1] It was produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

The film's plot revolves around the assassination of billionaire Sir Robert King by the terrorist Renard and Bond's subsequent assignment to protect King's daughter, Elektra, who had previously been held for ransom by Renard. During his assignment, Bond unravels a scheme to increase petroleum prices by triggering a nuclear meltdown in the waters of Istanbul.

Despite the film's mixed critical reception, it earned $361,832,400 worldwide…(click)

Police are currently searching for a black 1959 Cadillac heavily-customized convertible with red pinstriping and a red winged logo on the hood and doors. The occupants of the hit-and-run vehicle were said to be dressed in odd costumes--the driver in shades of black and violet-blue with a pointy-eared hood, the passenger in a red tunic with a yellow cape.

because isn't it true that Darwin preserved a piece of vermicelli in a glass case until, by some extraordinary means, it actually began to move with voluntary motion?

Are you speaking of the worm or the spaghetti?[the class laughs]

Why, the worm, sir.

Yes, I did read something of that incident when I was a student, but you have to remember that a worm… with very few exceptions… is not a human being.

But wasn't that the whole basis of your grandfather's work? The reanimation of dead tissue?

My grandfather was a very sick man.

But as a Fronkensteen, aren't you the least bit curious about it? Doesn't the bringing back to life what was once dead hold any intrigue to you?

as the aircar rocketed them at speeds in excess of R17 through the steel tunnels that lead out onto the appalling surface of the planet which was now in the grip of yet another drear morning twilight. Ghastly grey lights congealed on the land.

R is a velocity measure, defined as a reasonable speed of travel that is consistent with health, mental well being and not being more than say five minutes late. It is therefore clearly an almost infinitely variable figure according to circumstances, since the first two factors vary not only with speed taken as an absolute, but also with awareness of the third factor. Unless handled with tranquility this equation can result in considerable stress, ulcers and even death.

R17 is not a fixed velocity, but it is clearly far too fast…(click)

Mr. Potato Head, an American toy consisting of a plastic model of a potato which can be decorated with a variety of plastic parts that can attach to the main body.

These parts usually include ears, eyes, shoes, a hat, a nose, and a mouth. The toy was invented and developed by George Lerner in 1949, and first manufactured and distributed by Hasbro in 1952.

Mr. Potato Head was the first toy advertised on television and has remained in production since its debut. The toy was originally produced as separate plastic parts that could be stuck into a real potato or other vegetable. Government regulations forced Hasbro into including a plastic potato body within the toy set.

Over the years, the original toy was joined by Mrs. Potato Head and supplemented with accessories such as a car and a boat trailer. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head may be best known for their appearances in the Toy Story franchise, but Mr. Potato Head was featured on TV as early as 1987 in Amazon Women on the Moon. Additionally, in 1998 The Mr. Potato Head Show aired, but was short lived with only one season being produced.

As one of the prominent marks of Hasbro, a Mr. Potato Head Balloon has also joined others in the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Today, Mr. Potato Head can still be seen adorning hats, shirts, and ties.

Toy Story Midway Mania at California Adventure Park in Disneyland California also features a large talking Mr. Potato Head…(click)
