		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Player must have at least one foot in contact with the floor at the moment the cue tip contacts the cue ball, or the shot is a foul.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well in that case, I was lied to about the rules. -(</description>

		<description>Hmmm,,,bipedal hominids, with large brain cases,,,is this meant to imply that monsters are merely variations on humans?

I remember the Blob,,,now, THAT was one scary monster.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
the alien should totally call the predator out for not having both feet flat on the ground.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What in the world whyfor? When gentlemen plays one foot contact, say a toe tip, suffice. The world rules states:

&quot;3.13 FOOT ON FLOOR

Player must have at least one foot in contact with the floor at the moment the cue tip contacts the cue ball, or the shot is a foul. Foot attire must be normal in regard to size, shape and manner in which it is worn.&quot;

Oh, maybe you are pointing out that these are no gentlemen.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know... AvP:R was the better of the two &amp; was actually fairly bold in killing off a lot of &quot;demographics that you usually don&#039;t kill off&quot; in a horror film. At least for a mainstream film.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t tell if the Predator is using his laser sighting.  Then again, the xenomorph gets an advantage in not needing to see at all.  Hm.</description>
