Just curious, but could anyone enlighten me as to whether the white tips of the noses of the planes in #44 actually serve a function requiring them to be a different colour than the rest of the aircraft, or is it just for aesthetics?

Brutal. Do you normally correspond in gibberish?

How did they miss out on exploding a Ford Pinto?

Being completely serious here, but I can't not look at this and laugh. I honestly can't.

apology for poor english

Ah, good call. Few people are aware of the International Small Claims Tribunal in The Hague.

Sometimes you gotta take it to the next level. I'm gonna send some to these people, for example:

I think that your pedantry, time-frame, and irony meters are all broken. Could you give me a time-check, please, to set my cosmic watch? Would that be 6,000 years +/- 59 minutes, for example?

No, it's not, and no worries. There's a whole raft of scientist memes out there, and they are well worth exploring, as some them are funny as hell. Cheers. :-)

Sorry, kinja fail. I tried to get the right clip, but was denied. Seriously, though, circumcise that shit. Like, fuuuuu...

Absolutely. I swear that during that whole "biiillions and biiillions of stars" stage he was munching acid like candy, but I have no problem with that at all. Dude got the job done, and godspeed. Plus, he prob'ly got de mad pussy, an' nothin' wrong with that. Dem scientists. :-)

Shut up, pedant. Also, please submit a sample of your math that led to "6,000 years ago".

"... even though there's no being to be grateful to."

But what if they were perpendicular to our line of sight? No problem then, no?

I can't think about Mr. Sagan without thinking that every single time he was recorded, he was blazed as fuck. Not even joking. I just can't do it.

This, and to politely refute the other commenter, I think the metric can safely be reversed for the time it takes as well. The two cannot be unbound, and flipping the 2 factors involved does not change the end result of the equation. And now I need to go wash the smarm off my hands. :-)

And sorry for the double-post, but this right here is as good an example for circumcision as I've ever seen. Bloody hell,and thank you, god person, for issuing that instruction.

Nice job, man. Thank you for this. Sometimes we wee humans need a reminder that bigger things are going on around us to take our minds off the everyday bleh. Cheers to you, sir.

We should have a device like that to drop certain politicians into, and then film the drop as well as them while they're trying to walk out. Mine the stairs with mousetraps, too. :-)

That's probably just because it doesn't have enough energy, or, let's face it, will to live, after trying to tunnel through the fat-laden cavities. It's a pretty thankless job, after all.
