So that's why there were so many weird pictures in FarCry then...?

Lots of the mercenary camps have magazines scattered around with 
scantily-clad ladies in them. At least, I *think* that's what those 12 
pixels are supposed to represent... kinda hard to tell.

Oh.. yep. thats why :) Those mags were very available on the base, but 
you couldn't find them off base in the city I lived in, where I lived 
was known as part of the "bible belt". But the base had all of the 
hustler and playboy you could ever want.

As I said, "supposed to".  Yeah, it's pretty f'ing shameful around here

Someone told me that the reason people used soapboxes to make speeches was
that there was a law that you couldn't speak against the government if you
were standing on the country's territory, or some similar wording. So they
stood on soapboxes to avoid touching the country's soil with their feet :)

I should probably check snopes.com about it right now.
