Hehe! 9 years of Latin - can still spool them declinations & conjugations off...

Nope - it's part of the -tas/tatis declination: velocitas (nominative), velocitatis (genitive), velocitati (dative), velocitatem (accusative). Nominative plural would be 'velocitates'.

It's not something that can easily be seen on an anatomical/structural level - it's more that it's neural networks that are distributed in certain areas of tissue.

...and, of course, how that converts to the speed of sheep in vacuum!

Always amazed how stitched-together the lunar module looks (and probably was due to weight limits): a few aluminum panels held together by brackets and tape, and wrapped with tin foil. That thing must have creaked and squeaked like an old chevy...

There are no re-arrangements. These are new features of the world!

It's all those manicured dark green lawns that swallow the light.

...and here's the perfect antithesis to that.

Good thinking! I assume that expressions like 'newly renovated' rub you the wrong way, too.

we don't have gold stars any longer - THAT'S WHY we complain...

Old technique - the ancient Greeks actually used mortar made like this for their stone buildings.

Interesting, very interesting..., but they won't fool me...
