Voltron Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Good thing that hamburger/mcnugget pizza comes with a gun to shoot yourself for being so stupid as to eat one.
Voltron Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 California is apparently high all the time, they start drinking real early in Florida, and Maine is angry all the time except when deeply asleep.
Grahame Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 One of my pet peeves is the almost constant use of cell phones by people while driving, shopping, dining, in line at the store and most especially at the beach. Who the hell wants to have a conversation at the beach? Between the music and the sound of the surf, how could anyone hear to have a conversation? Does no one know how to say, ‘I’ll call you back?’ Well, it has gone beyond that now with phones being used in supposedly relaxing getaway places such as the beach. This is beyond inconsiderate. While on the beach recently, I had to sit there and listen to this woman chatter on for at least an hour as she pranced back and forth in front of me. I couldn’t concentrate on my book. I really wanted to relax, work on my tan and read this great novel but noooo, this chick had to yammer on and on. Take a look at these images and you’ll see what I’m talking about. How could anyone get a chance to read a book when this woman was spending all of this time talking on the phone right in front of me. Cell Phone Rudeness | MoonDog Sports

Grahame Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 Ah, the Soviet system Pitkyaranta Journal - She's in the Kitchen, and She's Not Making Blinis - NYTimes.com People drank cologne and even brake fluid in search of refreshment. Air force pilots took to drinking the exceptionally pure alcohol used as a de-icer in MIG-25 jets, Mr. White noted, a practice so popular that the MIG-25 acquired the nickname ''the flying restaurant.'' Mig-25 Pilot to control tower: "encountering ice, deploying de-icer" Some covered up their tippling by replacing the de-icer alcohol with water. This worked until their jets iced up in flight.
Knuckledragger Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 Click for sauce. "I assume most of us know that Mass is just relative to the amount of Matter the object consists off, but Mass is not representative of the amount of Volume it takes up. However, there are some that do not, so let's not be misleading and clarify a few things. For example, some of the most Massive Objects in the Universe are Black Holes, which have theoretically 0 volume. R136a1 impresses with 265 Solar Masses? The Supermassive Black Hole OJ 287 is 18,000,000,000 Solar Masses. R136a1, for Mass of a Star sets a new standard. As for Volume though, even though it's 1,000,000 times brighter than our Sun, it's Volume is shadowed by that of VY Canis Majoris, STILL. R136a1 is 265 Solar Masses and 35 times the diameter of our Sun. In terms of Mass vs. VY Canis Majoris, R136a1 wins. However, in terms of Volume, R136a1 is ONLY 35 times the Diameter of our Sun. Our Sun is approximately 865,000 Miles in Diameter. Being 35 times the Diameter, R136a1 is approximately 30,275,000 miles in Diameter, pretty large. If it were to replace our Sun, it would be touching the boundaries of Mercury's Orbit, which is approximately 35,000,000 miles. Earth is approximately 93,000,000 miles away from the Sun. To give you an idea of our Voluminous VY Canis Majoris is, it is 1,800,000,000 miles across. 1,800,000,000 miles (VY Canis Majoris) > 30,275,000 miles (R136a1) by a long shot. To give you an idea of how much space that would take up, Saturn's Orbit is 1,350,000,000 away from the Sun. So, if R136a1's outer edges would singe Mercury if it were in the place of our sun, VY Canis Majoris in it's place would be hiding Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, The Asteroid Belt, Jupiter and Saturn within itself, with room to spare. Hoever, R136a1 is just starting it's main sequence, whereas VY Canis Majoris is near the end of it's life. R136a1 may become even larger later on in it's life."
