Happy Towel Day everyone!

It was on this day in 2001, that 3 weeks prior, Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy Trilogy, died (not from being read Vogon Poetry, nor from being fed into the Total Perspective Vortex, nor even from an overindulgence of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, but from Simple Heart Failure).

So in his memory, you wear a towel all day to honor the frood(or be devoured by the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal). Do you know Where your towel is???

Share and Enjoy
Pity the Strags
So long and Thanks for all the fish

but adapting to zero gravity could lead to a speciation of the human race. I saw it on a program about terraforming Mars; because of the gravity differnce there, we would develop a whole new circulation and bone system.

Well, these days anything can qualify as an UFO

I guess a lot of sightings occur during a food fight in a dimly lit room

Actually I think you should read up on physics basics. I recommend Brian Greenes eminent book "The beautifull universe".

The Elegant Universe


Sorry, retranslated the title from Swedish:-) Oh my god, I am a bablefish!

Duhhh, now you're going to make me read them both ;)

... If the Sun were to (hypothetically) suddenly cease to exist, it would take the Earth 8 minutes to notice, before everything went dark.

In the same situation, how long would it take for the Earth to notice that the gravitationally pull from the Sun has suddenly ceased?

That would certainly give LIGO, GEO, VIRGO and Einstein@home quite a jolt!

Hope the Vogons stay well clear until we can deal with them...

Keep searchin',

Vogons?
Finally...some HHG2G Fans!

You have to take displacement into consideration. If you put any object into a container of water the volume would increase. So what would be the volume of the ocean if all the sponges were taken out?

On another thought, what would be the depth of the ocean if the whales were taken out? (On yet another thought, they are, by fishermen, water pollution, and global warming)

Warning: This is a rant. For those of a delicate disposition, or are not rant-resistant please turn away and read other threads like "How do you 'go' in space?" and the like. Apologies in advance

Alright, here goes: I think astrology is the most stupidest "science" that was ever to be even considered by human minds.

It's like alchemy, a sham science, it doesn't work.

But still, people believe it
I quote from this article:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,252781,00.html

"In one European study about 25 percent of people said they thought astrology was very scientific. But when the question was rephrased to horoscopes that fell to about 7 percent."

Outrageous.

And according to Astrology-online.com, I'm a pisces. It says that I'm supposed to "posess a gentle, patient, malleable nature". But considering what I'm doing now (and what I did to the ants in the living room), do I seem to "posess a gentle, patient ,malleable nature"?!?! noooooo.

And I don't understand how those cluttered clusters of constellations [if you can see through air and light pollution] look like fish, a bull, twins or whatever, seems like a connect the dots numbered wrong. (The only exception I make is Orion, but it's not an astrological sign)

Complete Balderdash.

And now to go off-rant:
Stonehenge(don't know how to paste photos)

[Insert photo here]

what is it? neolithic calendar? monument? Alien Landing pad? always wondered, but never really found out

Apologies again

oh yes, the satire

I'm glad you like Terry Pratchett, even though I find the idea of a flat world[that's carried on the back of four elephants and a sea turtle] a bit odd

then again, it's Terry Pratchett, anything he writes is a bit odd

They should start in the oceans

As I've always heard it, we've sent more expeditions to other planets in outer space, than to our own oceans

Which reminds me, how deep would the sea be if there were no sponges?
