Rommel you magnificent bastard.

Surely in this case you mean "Munificent".  
Also, Image Tax (that's me, at work, doing the Atlas thing, although my job is usually more Sysiphean):

err... Would you mind terribly un-biggifying that pic? Some of us don't have 42" monitors with 6400x4800 resolution.

That image is indeed a bit on the huge side, but fortunately I can exercise my gadfly godly mod powers and shrink the size it takes in the post.

Whoops... thanks, Bob. Yeah, that did not scale the way I thought it would.

It strikes me that Rommel was often magnificent (and especially in the case cited) but, Patton to the contrary, seldom a bastard.
Edit to add pictures.  The bit about Admiral Togo's attack on Port Arthur reminded me of the following image (at half size to fit this page):


From the same book comes a version of Admiral Nimitz.  I don't know if the real Nimitz was a Togo fanboy, but this bosomy blonde is certainly fangirling:


I found these here.  So far, I haven't tracked down a site without "hentai" in its title that carries this book.  Some of the military leaders portrayed are, like Togo, depicted as little girls and I've no idea why; most of the adults are decidedly "talented," although it's usually covered by a very snug-fitting uniform such as Nimitz wears above, and a few are downright NSFW due to wearing skimpy bikinis that might as well be painted on (Marshal Zhukov, for instance ... wow!).  I don't, by the way, notice any resemblance between the facial features of the ladies and the men they're representing.  

Once again, we have proof that today's Japanese artists are certifiably insane.

If you access this, you'll probably need to look at the comments below the gallery for identification of some of the characters, unless of course you read Japanese.

Don't think of them as 'left over'.  Think of them as reloads.

It looks deep enough you could probably fit 18 in there.  It's available from ThinkGeek, btw.

The cat reacting to the fake spider attack brings backs memories...

To this day forty years later there is a certain mother of a couple of childhood friends who greets me with a high pitched yell "SPIDER!" followed by hitting me with what ever comes to hand.

Just last June I encountered her unexpectedly in Walmart...

So far no videos have turned up...

We are still friends and once the flashback is over it's safe to talk to her and catch up on her children as long as I stay out of easy reach.

pretty sure this whole series has been about the wrong wizard guys

Plot Twist: He is able to do wandless magic because his comprehensive
understanding of quantum physics means that he is the only wizard/witch
to actually understand how magic works.

I did a little looking up and discovered that people have been commenting on the wandless wizard -- and what he's reading -- for at least a year.  I'd missed it completely until you put it here.  (Well, actually, I think I remember noticing that he wasn't using a wand back when I first saw the movie.  But his reading material?  Didn't spot it at all.)
According to some of the comments, by the way, he's played by Ian Brown of the Stone Roses.

"Steel wand, aluminum core, spoon end. This is a wand for a practical wizard. This strange American wizard said I ought to make a red case for it that holds a knife, fork, and tweezers, and call it a Swiss Army Wand. I can never quite understand those American wizards."

Fucking love that last line there.  And seriously, that would be one helluva hard-core marathon.  It would be an epic geek fest.  Make sure to bring your most comfy stuff, have plenty of bean bag chairs, awesome food (fun thought: start something in the crock pot at the start, enjoy slow-cooked goodness 1/3rd of the way through.  You can do three solid meals like this!), and enough energy drinks and coffee to power a destroyer's crew for a whole day.
