  1. What? Are you scared too about the statement we know less about our oceans right next to us than a frozen methane ocean a zillion miles away? And here we thought infinity was scary when people are scared with sh... right next to us! 😏
  2. You're missing the point. K.I.S.S. The cosmos are rather simple to observe. "...Compared to the difficulties with studying the ocean, learning about space is a walk in the park. Humans have been able to study the cosmos since essentially the beginning of time by simply looking up at the stars. The telescope, a quintessential part of astronomy, has been used for studying the night sky since Galileo first pointed it upwards in 1609 (via the Library of Congress). ..."

  3. This is what I meant. https://www.thenakedscientists.com/articles/questions/do-we-know-space-better-our-oceans "Question: Do we know more about space or about our oceans? Answer: Sam got in touch to ask if it's true that we know more about space than we do about our oceans. Chris Smith put this question to ecologist Danni Green from Anglia Ruskin University... Danni - In short I'd say yes it is. Particularly if you're talking about... understanding the topography and the shape of the oceans. So for example technically we have got 100 percent of the oceans mapped but the resolution is to 5000 metres whereas we've mapped 98 percent of Venus to 100 metres resolution. Chris - So we do know quite a bit about quite a few places but not necessarily the bottom of the sea. ..."
  4. Reuben sammiches today, fish fry yesterday. Wasn't checking, did the Pope give special dispensation to eat meat yesterday? He usually does when St.Patrick's Day (which is always during Lent) falls on a Friday.
  5. You know what the scary part is? We know more about the universe than our oceans that are right next to us.
  6. "If he brings you happiness Then I wish you all the best It's your happiness that matters most of all But if he ever breaks your heart If the teardrops ever start I'll be there before the next teardrop falls..."
  7. Nice! With red sauce splatter. 😉

  10. They can answer you, but you'd have get popped. 😏
  11. It's all fun and games until someone blows out a leg...
  12. Early nod to St.Patrick's Day: "In Banbridge Town in the County Down One morning last July, From a boreen green came a sweet colleen And she smiled as she passed me by. She looked so sweet from her two bare feet To the sheen of her nut brown hair. Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself For to see I was really there. ..."
  13. SEGA! I still love playing "Kid Chameleon"... On my kid's old console... I skip right to the Boss Level... Used to be on the arcade console at a rest stop on the Ohio Turnpike... What demented soul places this game there. Nothing says: "Let's take a short break from the road and play "Kid Chameleon" for a few hours. 😆
  14. Why does it have to be high-speed? Suspense is under-appreciated nowadays.
  15. The kid that needed the wheelchair wasn't in it thank God! But... The wheelchair was probably damaged and you know how expensive those things are. Hope they got home okay.
  16. And here we are reading about it. What does that say about us? 😏
  17. If everything is observed, explain erosion. Something is happening when nobody is watching. 😏
  18. My grandfather warmed his beer in the oven. I guess he didn't get it. 😏
  19. Your paradise doesn't exist without you! Hawaii "The Rainbow State" doesn't exist. 😆 😉
  20. "...Always strivin', always climbing way beyond my will Same old sensation, isolation at the top of the bill Always seeming, like I'm moving but I'm really going slow What do you do when you get to the top and there's nowhere to go Just how I get there will be anybody's guess With all the so called trappings of success Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill Too busy raisin' Cain I'm back on the street again I'm back on the top again..."
  21. "...Roll, roll me away, won't you roll me away tonight? I too am lost, I feel double-crossed and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right..."
  22. "...Dakota on the wall is a white-robed woman, broad yet maidenly. Such power in her hand as she hails the wagon man's family. I see indians that crawl through this mural that recalls our history. Who were the homestead wives? Who were the gold rush brides? Does anybody know? Do their works survive? Their yellow fever lives in the pages they wrote? The land was free, yet it cost their lives. ..."
