China Launches New Stealth Bomber To Protests From U.S. Press

Report: "China's New Stealth Fighter May Use U.S. Tech"

The Chinese government launched its new stealth fighter jet this month, to protest from some in the U.S. press, who have been stating the technology was stolen. To rebut said claim, some pointed out, China has technology of its own in the area of defense and invented gunpowder.

However, my main question is directed at every world government with this technology - if it is stealth, why can we see it. It's just like movies claiming a character is invisible, but you can still see them. Just teasing.

Film Review: Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Title: Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Year Of Release: 1987

Review Date: December 31, 2010

Rating: PG

Running time: 92 minutes

Box Office Gross: $150,823,000

Site Rating: 4 out of 10 stars

"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is the story of executive Neal Page, desperately trying to get home in time to spend the Thanksgiving holidays with his family. Along the way, he encounters a number of obstacles and is given support by a fellow traveler, who is a hapless, but cheerful musician named, Del Griffith.

The well meaning Griffith seems to get Page into one funny and frustrating mishap after another, resulting in slapstick comedy and embarrassment. "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" contains the comedy characteristic of many John Hughes films. However, this film is not particularly meaningful, just a laugh.
