D'OH!

Well this is about the third-fourth time I've been head-faked... sheesh. I'll update the title and let the comments stand as yet more proof of IotD's inability to fact-check and ability of its readers to correct it.

Chasing down AI-controlled rogue FA-37's? Shit 'Toad, send in Firefox. It's over a Edward's being tested, poked, and prodded. Just remember to think in Russian.

'Toad, I don't care if it is faked, it's still a cool IOTD.

From Break the Chain; Often, in cases where photos from a movie set are leaked to the public, the pics were either taken by a member of the film's crew and shared with movie buffs via e-mail or blog or the filmmaker intentionally released the photos and the bit of back story to build buzz for their picture (anybody remember a little phenomenon called The Blair Witch Project?). However, in this case, the Navy is the source. The photos were taken by U.S. Navy Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Tyler J. Clements on board the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and released by the Navy's PR department. The Navy is not, however, the source of the misleading back story most often accompanying the photos.
