That one is color changed so that the three eclipses can be seen on the planet.

Kinda figured that one, it is just beautiful with the changes. Reminds me of a similar image of Saturn, that I have on my computer

OMG!!!!!! B) I love this one! B)

LOTR, no question. Awesome books, awesome movies. B) B)

Though this would be a poll that could make my brother's brain explode, LOL, he adores both.

This is the time of year where Schools Out gets played almost non-stop...lol

True.. I think I heard it played on one of the stations available at my old job today.

I do not know too much in the way of Alice's music.. or if I do, I just never knew who was singing it.

But one I do like, and it is a song that my mother likes a lot is "Only Women Bleed"

Oh, and then of course there is "School's Out"

I am not sure.. but I went ahead and voted on the Poseidon Adventure. I kinda liked the original film of it.

Is it true satellite signals can be lost in bad weather?

Yes I can understand severe thunderstorms, tropical storms or hurricanes... but sometimes it will go out for a short time or at least pixellate briefly during small showers.

Got rid of cable with Time Warner, and went with DishNetwork for the tv service. Then switched internet service... got rid of DSL and went to cable with.... you guessed it Time Warner/Road Runner.

First Contact/Insurrection/Nemesis uniforms were the best. Definately the dress uniforms seen in Insurrection & Nemesis.

With the lapse in missions after the Columbia disaster all the shuttle programs are VERY much behind schedule. I read at NASA the main reason they wanted to abandon it is missions to complete building the ISS need to take precedent now.

Good point. And with the upcoming mission pushed back to May 22nd now, it is even further behind than before.

*wanders into the thread* Hello..

*wanders off.....*

Rainy. But at least it is not cold here anymore.

Definately noticed a slump here. I posted once really early before I went to work(so around 4:30am) on one day and came back online around 2pm and it was still there as one of the most recent posts.

I wonder if its cheaper to maintain it or is it more effective to send another one up?

Good question. I guess it all depends on what is needed to maintain it.

I am trying to remember, but I think during the show Pompeii: The Last Day...they had mentioned that the volcano had had more than one major eruption prior to the one in 79AD. I am wondering if the volcano erupted with the same pyroclastic blast that occurred in the 79AD eruption...same or at least similar degree.

Interesting article

Like I mentioned in the other thread, my sister would probably LOVE to see this article!

Me too, I always wanted to be an Egyptologist.

For me, this was very interesting.. thanks for posting it!!!!!

and on it's 17th year it burns up in the Atmosphere  :)

That truly stinks. Reading the article on, I think, AOL yesterday they had a poll on what we thought should be done...meaning should they send a shuttle so an upgrade and repairs to be done to the Hubble, or just leave it alone. I voted it should be maintained... I really wish they would not abandon the telescope.

And thanks for posting the pics.. the Hubble has produced such beautiful images over the years

This one is one of my favorites.

I like the fact as well, that there was basically a crossover as well.. on the grounds that Scotty, McCoy, Spock and Sarek all appeared during the series (so a nod and continuation of TOS), as well as the fact that Bashir appeared(so a tie in to DS9, not to mention the fact that Worf went to the station). Then Janeway's brief appearance in Nemesis.. tying in VOY into the whole thing.

12. My neighbor was bitten by a stray rabid dog. I went to see how he was and found him writing frantically on a piece of paper. I told him rabies could be cured and he didn't have to worry about a will. He said, "Will? What will? I'm making a list of the people I want to bite!"

They are all amusing, but this one is one of my favorites.

"The Reason" by hoobastank

The old one (1913 and 1938).

That would be awesome to find one of these!!

In my case, the guy I like is funny, kind, gentle(at least he always is around me), protective, intellegent, strong, incredibly caring. He is very attractive, a wonderful listener, he is very easy to talk to. We could easily get talking, and next thing you know two, three or four hours have passed.

My best friend is pretty much the first guy to accept me for who I am, and did not try to change me in any way. It is another reason I like him so much. He'd joke about stuff.. like when I was being really silly, but never in a way that was concidered mean. It was all in good humor.

I know this is really far behind the posts, but the reason why they change the paper bills so often compared to the coins is that the average lifespan of a paper bill is only several months, compared to years and years for coins.  Also, with the current trend of scanners and copiers being so good, the old bills were getting copied too easily. If you think the money is fake, feel it.  Money is printed on cloth, not paper.  Also, check the serial numbers, if they are the same, or too long or short, don't accept it.  When in doubt, you could always hit it with an indelible marker, also called a counterfeit pen.  They can be found at a local office supply store for cheap.l

Yeah, we used those pens at work.. I do not doubt that when I start my new job on May 2nd that we may use those pens again.

We ended up having to get new pens a few times before going to other means to check for whether or not the bill was real.. On the grounds that they kept being used as regular pens by everyone , managers included.

IMO it's a very unique expedition that deserves to be recognized with this coinage honor.

I basically do trivia for fun.

I have only one question to go before I am a Q! cool!
