The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Not to be a killjoy or anything, but is it SUPPOSED to completely screw with my browser?
It just killed a few tabs I'd been needing open. Not chuffed.

Worked fine here in Firefox 3.

Looking at the source of the page there doesn't seem to be anything that'd Bjork a browser.

Fair enough... Firefox went mental and opened tab after tab, and it took me ages to get it to close!

It's not popups, as it's actually done it on occasion before, on totally random sites.
Time to simply upgrade FF I think :)

I think these are artificially done (smoke rockets) to judge the size of the mushroom cloud. It's not a "natural" effect of the nuke going off...

Cheers,
