I used to take the lid off the bottle of Carbon Tet my dad had, and sniff it. It made everything go black for a while.

But... Dr. Ralph Kennedy sees them for what they are.

I think a percentage of folks think of me as some crazed, goofy, addled, obsessed, flakey, psychotic, cult engulfed, demoized idiot about such things.

Ridiculous.

Nobody ever said "cult engulfed".

;-)

Luv ya bro!

Keep up the excellent work.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[Quix]

LOL.

THX. I think.

For months after his discovery Dr Bhathal scanned the skies for a second signal to see whether it was just a glitch in his instrumentation but his search came to nothing.

Which somehow leads to the conclusion that it was not a glitch? Sheesh.

uh...I think you are off by a number of orders of magnitude. It says this star is 20 not 20 million light years away. The nearest spiral galaxy to our own is only 2.5 million light years away. 20 light years in terms of interstellar distances is quite local.

[IWONDR]

it didn’t involve saltpeter, charcoal and sulphur, did it?

I doubt they would want him home.

Might have to start a ping list just for this topic.

“500 messages from the public in the form of radiowaves - to Gliese 581.”

Just great...now they’re coming to eat us up yum yum.

[KoRn]

"Documentary-maker RDF and social-networking site Bebo used a radio telescope in Ukraine to send a powerful focused beam of information - 500 messages from the public in the form of radiowaves - to Gliese 581."

Awesome! They'll be receiving his message.... In about 20 years. lol

I hate to make fun of the guy. 20 Light years relative to the Universe really is just 'across the street' from us. Still yet.... Using the best propulsion system we have right now, it would take hundreds of thousands of years before any probe we would send could get there....

Our inability to send things from one place to another in a timely mayyer is our biggest weakness to space exploration.

[Ransomed]

We need a few thousand watchmakers, they can’t be worse than the dems...

Freegards, salute from the gripping hand

[ApplegateRanch]

BS! No way. It was a request for 5,000 tons of Earl Grey, in return for 100 bars of gold-pressed latinum.

[ApplegateRanch]

On the gripping hand...

Earthlings seem to prefer all hands griping. ;-)

Or, for a second opinion, we have the immortal words of Pharaoh, "so mote it be!"

[ApplegateRanch]

If I remember correctly it had something to do with carbon tetrachloride....

Used to buy that at the chemist's apothecary's drug store and/or hardware store, along with other essential---ugh, cleaning supplies.

Though, even when I was a freshman in high school in 1960, my dad had to buy me the pint of fuming nitric acid I needed....
