Someone else will probably want to do the photography training and go up with gear. Before Mike went up Paolo was extremely prolific, so it's becoming a bit of a tradition to go up with good photography gear and the training and interest to use it.

ly000001 has it.

The Mayan calendar is pretty crazy — they were extremely interested in the stars, sun, and moon, and were already very mathematically inclined, and used a base-20 counting system (as opposed to our base-10).

The study was actually performed to examine how viruses make cross species jumps. Dr. Fouchier was reported in the media as "experimenting with Avian Flu to try and make it more virulent" ( Gizmodo, Nov 28 [gizmodo.com] ) but this was a dramatization of the study's actual goal.

A Korean invasion of the continental US is logistically impossible.

Tony the fish!

Actually BVO is really the worst thing in Mountain Dew. While the statement that it's used in flame retardant isn't necessarily indicative of that, Bromine really is not the sort of thing that you want to ingest.

"Scientists are still struggling to understand deadly fungus."

That could be handled by designing the system to initiate the self destruct following a certain period of unexpected loss of communication.

This is interesting because, while this is still a small fraction of c, the fact that something with the mass of a neutron star moving that fast _relative to everything else around it_ is very very strange. Average neutron star ranges from 1.3 to 2 solar masses. Imagine the force that would be necessary in order to…

Kudos on the perfect F.U.D. article title. Especially since NONE of these objects represent an impact risk in the any projected orbital calculations.

Talented, maybe, but you have to admit that having only produced 2 games, both of which were critically acclaimed but only moderate sales performers, and a third game way over budget and repeatedly delayed, ultimately Sony might not be sweating this too much.

Just for reference, 6 1/2" circumference is 2" diameter. I think the use of circumference in the chart instead of diameter is throwing people off since you're expecting diameter.

Christians believe that the only thing that keeps people from acting like crazed maniacs and doing things that violate human decency is the threat of what God will do to you if you don't behave after you die.

In his own personal consideration, he only feels like now he is approaching the ability to craft swords as they were made in the Heian era.

I think at some point either a) becomes easier to just tell people you like porn and have some eclectic tastes so they aren't shocked if/when they find it, or b) spend so much time obfuscating your porn that by the time you finally get to checking it out, you aren't in the mood.

Unfortunately most of the review read like Mr. Walker went to the store to buy Fruity Pebbles but when he got home realized he bought Raisin Bran instead.

Directed Force. That's the difference.

The analogize for understanding: A kinetic warhead imparts its destructive force in a way similar to a meteor strike. A large amount of mass, moving at high speed comes to a sudden stop — all that energy is transmitted to the object that it hits.

The music in that video left me feeling like I just watched the strangest porno I had ever seen.
