The 'illustration' accompanying this article has to be one of the worst such artist's 'concepts' I've ever seen. The depiction of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 is completely unrealistic, and the illustration of the supposed accompanying 'planet' is drawn as if that planet is being illuminated by white light! How could that possibly be? The so-called 'artist' is therefore either mistaken, ignorant, or simply stupid.

The white light is from the camera flash silly. |

ArthurPaliden: Well, if man were to have that power their lives would be cut short by woman, who are traditionally less than happy when one has sex with multiple partners, let alone in short order. That would then be limiting their potential for breeding and making it unnecessary to have giant balls, which would be a burden to carry around anyway.

I can deal with the increased traffic and I respect that its his private property but the reality is that I just don't like my neighbour and I thought that if I brought this up here, maybe someone will come and remove the gnomes.

The third surgeon, from Dallas, says, "No,I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order"
The fourth surgeon, from Los Angeles chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers... Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over."
But the fifth surgeon, from Washington DC, shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine. Plus, the head and the ass are interchangeable. |

They always give the same answer to every discussion, "because that is what God wanted". It gets really tying and monotonous while the rest of us discus how it works based on observation of available data coupled with know Facts form other areas of study.
In addition they fail to realize that 1) Evolution does not preclude the existence of God, 2) Evolution does not consider the initiation of life only what cames after, 3) The Theory of Evolution is based not just on the fossil record but by a host of other Facts from many other sciences.
In short, they “fail to use the brains God gave them” which must be an awful disapointment to her. |

It is odd, though, that no one has identified the deer by name. Do the authorities have this information, or does she just remain a Jane Doe? |

Posted at New element to be added to periodic table
|
|
jackace52 wrote:Posted 2009/06/11 at 1:28 PM ET
|
The heaviest element yet known to science is Governmentium (symbol=Gv). It has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected by its retarded (even completely absent under some conditions) ability to react. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalyzed with large injections of fiscal elements, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

3000 L /sec (assume 3 months) = 3x30x24x60x60 = 23 billion litres of spray.
NASA better hope the space-shuttle windshield-wipers are working, otherwise they'll need to duct-tape an ice-scraper onto the Canadarm .
Then it'll be the Red-Green Comet

"The comet is a ball of ice and other frozen compounds that partially vapourize into a tail of gas and dust as the comet approaches the sun."...
is what government scientists would like you to believe.
The truth is that the comet is a failed military project from the cold war. I should know because I helped design the rocket that propelled this green radioactive mass into outerspace. I was working for NASA when president Eisenhower asked Dr. Campell, our commanding rocket scientist, to build a system that could redestroy the Russians 200 years after an all out nuclear war. The system was ingenious and fail safe, except that the guy who was supposed to have pushed the button to put the system in standby mode rather than active mode forgot to do so (!). What this means that in about 150 years this radioactive mass will rain down on Russia and poison all its inhabitants.
60 minutes tried to do a story about it, but government regulators thought it was too sensitive to talk about.
Don't worry, though. The current generation of NASA scientists are aware of this looming disaster and have come up with a rescue plan to change earth's orbit ever so slightly so that over 150 years the mass will miss earth's upper atmosphere by 5 km. They are doing so by simply moving one large mountain in Colorado to the east cost, one truck at a time, and by filling in the massive abandoned copper mines in Nebraska with salt.
