Too bad. I saw video's on how it would have been pronounced but no one actually pronouncing AFAIK. I will give credit where credit is due in that movie (Prometheus). In the extended scene we do hear the Engineer talk and it did remind me of some proto-Semitic language which has quite a bit of TH sounds (as in THree)…

this is a beautiful find! I wish there was online courses to learn ancient Egyptian (Read/Write/Pronounce/Syntax).

I had to comment on his Youtube:

I want to know more about the poor subject. Did he have a condition that needed operating on and they decided to do experiments at the same time? Or did he subject himself to these intra-cranial electro rods?

I endorse this message.

You raise good points indeed. And I do realize that mass remains the same just more compact and dense when a star collapses on itself. Having said that, I literally look at objects with gravity as a drop of ink in a large water tank (the water tank being the universe except this tank is constantly flowing and growing…

It's a great spot for vacationing. Cheap, lots of sight seeing to do and exciting to say the least.

Oui Monsieur, c'est correct

Ben Whishaw is a great actor. I hope he gets good exposure. Also a trivia factoid/Q: this is not the first time these two work together. Without using the internets, name the movie (which was also a great movie).

I am not a astrophysicist, but it seems to me that the origin of the Big Bang(s) is rather simple to explain without having deep knowledge of numbers based on basic scientific observation and seeing how (say) water whirlpools form and then vanish down the drain: all galaxies coalesce due to gravity and eventually a…

Spoiler Alert: It is in my pants. One at a time Ladies, one at a time.

Image what you will see in your life time. I cannot wait for you guys. The next technological breakthrough that will change your lives as we know is around the corner.

The boom shook our house. I thought it was another PG&E disaster. It occurred at 7:49 pm PST as I was making shrimp tacos. Then another boom happened around 11 ish.

Those are fucking space insect eggs, and we are about to unleash some flying critters on Earth. Someone put Johnny Rico on alert.

All I want to know is: WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO REVIVE THE 850! When I was a young lad in the late 80's early 90's, the 850 was such a sexy beast. They need to bring it back.

Jesus, I do. What a surreal moment that was and still is. A statue's boobs is going to give him a woody? As if is COULD get a woody.

This is an actual email I sent to our network engineer. It was hasty. He tried to be a smart ass, and I gave it to him. Keep in mind that he was part of the team that designed our admin panel mentioned below.

This made me chuckle. + 0.5

What is also amazing is that: given the distance of the Sun to Mars making the sun appear 2/3 the size we see here, and the fact that the atmosphere there is only 7% as dense as Earth's that the days look THAT bright. Based on that raw data, one would assume that Mars would have more like a permanent 6AM crepuscular…
