as possible replys to some questions posed about the t-1000:

"[email removed]" asked about... in message 2562 & 2563:
- - -       yes, i think the t-100 was made of 'mimetic poly-alloy' or mimetic
        ____ alloy
        (i have one of the 'behind the scenes' things on vid tape somewhere.

- - -       i was wondering myself about how the being as a whole knew how to
        maintain its program as a terminator, so perhaps its functions are
        ingrained in each molecule like human dna is in humans...

- - -       that movie in the deep sea/meet alien/wear diving suit/breathe liquid,
        it wasnt the Abyss right?  there was another movie i remember that
        came out around the same time...pretty bad.. one seen was one guy
        got crushed under a hatch..monster was like a hairy octopus, at one
        point the ppl were trying to hunt down the monster with shiny stainless
        mossberg 500 mariner shotguns, and one of the characters i think was
        Greg McEvigan who played the trucker BJ in the tv show
        "Bj and the bear?" maybe not.i babbble.i dont remember the title either
        ANYWAYS, that oxygenated liquid does exist, i've seen lab rats swimming
        and breathing in that stuff...the only problem about using that in a
        sub is the mass of the liquid vs air..and pressurizing it...and the
        transmission of sound and other waves that could be harmful to ppl.

"[email removed]" asked about... in message 2564
why wont the t-1000 run as fast as a fastmoving car?
well, the cd-100 (arnie) said that it cant simulate moving parts
or machinery...therefore in order to propel itself, you have to imagine
a pirce of metal stretching each leg piece forward with each step, so
maybe there is a limit to how fast it can stretch it self, and how far..
otherwise it would look like that badly drawn cartoon show character
Plasticman (stretch ungodly distances really fast..)...but based on that
description, how does the t-1000 simulate a person? just on outside appearance?
because the human body sure has a lot of moving parts inside...

maybe there should be a terminator newsgroup! 8-)

(pardon the sloppy typing and wording, its late here..i wanted to get this
 out of the way...and back to BEER 8-)
