Space Opera

A cool science fiction that generally takes place in outer space. Generally, space opera places more emphasis on the characters, the plot and the adventures rather than on the technology. The space adventures are also normally romanticized, melodramatic, "swash-buckling" and epic.

Examples of space opera:

-The "Green Lantern" comics by Geoff Johns (before his writing turned into crap)

-Jim Starlin's tales involving Thanos and Adam Warlock for Marvel Comics

-Jeff Lemire's "Trilium" series for Vertigo comics

-Rick Remender's "Fear Agent" series

-Various Image Comics series such as "Descender", "Saga", and others

-Star Wars

-Star Trek

-The anime Cowboy Bebop

-The anime Heroic Age

Space opera is a pretty cool science fiction genre that has epic, melodramatic adventures in outer space.

operation iraqi liberation

a deceptive and official sounding word created by George W. Bush to cover up the fact that he just wants to finish what daddy started. YEEEEHAWWW, CALL DADDY, WE'RE GOIN' BACK TO THE DESERT just didn't sound as good. i wonder if the president would be as excited about the project if his daughters were over there waiting to get killed.

we can't tell the people the truth about this war, let'smake up something that sounds official...hmmmmmmmm, how'bout operation iraqi liberation.

Opera

Opera is a web browser that is superior to FireFox and Internet Explorer in many ways. Its a lot more secure and feature-filled than both and unlike FireFox is small and quick, not a horrible resource hog that requires every extention imaginable to be functional and/or useful.

I'm browsing Urban Dictionary using the keyboard and voice recognition found in Opera.
