  Oh, my. For a second there I misread that as "Sir Roger Moore dies". Fortunately it's just a bit of fluff about Roger Moore being his infinitely classy self.

  @WillyGalore, those were priceless. If those are fun facts I can't imagine the serious ones @-)

  Thanks, @forgotmyusername. I'm posting a bit from that article:
  
  Cars used in the James Bond films are to go on display at a London museum.
  
  The vehicles, including the white Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me which famously doubled as a submarine, will be featured at the London Film Museum, in Covent Garden.
  
  The Bond in Motion exhibition will also feature props, miniature models and action sequence boards from all 007's films.
  
  The exhibition will open on 21 March.
  
  ++++
  
  I wish I could go! :D

  For all the American users, Ralph Fiennes will be on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, today. Perhaps he'll ask him about Bond.

  I think it's very clear from a diagram on BBC News today that the Northern Lights are, in fact, caused by the SPECTRE octopus ;-)

  Thanks for that article, @Sandy. It was really nice to read about him. I had not read anything on him before. He seems to have a gentle, spiritual side.

  Yes, I also found him very interesting @4EverBonded, and very down to earth although not physically :D

  Yes, he has an amazing physicality that most of us can only dream of.
  Not that I want to look like a muscular guy ... but, well, you know what I mean!

  A British garlic mafia has smuggled 1300 tons of garlic from China by boat to Rotterdam, and from there used 59 cars to smuggle it further to Norway. They are now on trial in Sweden. Could be a good plot for a more realistic Bond film?

  The police must have realized there was something smelly going on /:)

  Hehe, yes. Garlic is expensive here, so that is probably the reason.No vampires here as far as I know... They were busted when a Belgian truck driver tried to smuggle some of it from Norway to Sweden.

  Well, now I am trying to picture Martin Freeman as an American insurance salesman in the new TV version of Fargo. Airing in April in the US and shortly afterwards in the UK ...

  So does anyone have any thoughts/ideas on the missing Malaysian plane?

  There's the obvious theories:

  http://ca.news.yahoo.com/too-early-why-malaysia-airlines-plane-vanished-probable-153345496.html
  
  And then, another fear is that the plane is hidden somewhere in one piece, to be used for a future terrorist act.

  @QBranch, my mind fell to the 'hidden somewhere' idea thanks to Bond films. Personally, if the plane suddenly disappeared and it had to be a drastic, sudden event that made it so, I can only assume that it instantly detonated in mid-air due to a terrorist attack, as two of the passengers were using stolen passports. That, or it could be one of the pilots committed suicide and simply crashed the plane. It's happened before. But, at this point, it's all theory, so who truly knows.

  I'll admit that the MR opening sequence popped in my head.
  
  Kind of scary. A plane disappears without a trace, doesn't show up anywhere and no one can even find any sort of damage.
  
  Way too many wild theories to speculate on, but the (American) media is focusing on the two stolen passports in Thailand.

  Seems pretty off to me, the stolen passports bit. Then they talked about the fuel spillage and the debris in the water, ran tests, and realized that neither were from the plane, so who knows at this point. How a massive plane carrying hundreds of people can simply disappear is unbeknownst to me.

  There was an India flight, I think, a while back that had 10 stolen passports on the manifest and it was not terrorism.
  
  If the plane was hidden away, surely someone with their cell phone would have at least texted a message.
  
  I am very saddened by this. I think it disintegrated, which means from what? I do hope enough bits of something are found soon to help resolve this. At the very least where the plane went down.

  Supposedly family members are able to connect calls to the passengers cell phones. It rings a few times and then disconnects. That shouldn't happen if the plane crashed. The Malaysian government is taken down all of the numbers this is happening with in an effort to possibly track where they could be.
