Expansion, contraction... there is a mechanic indeed to the Universe and this mechanic, if it is ultimate, would see the life of a scientist in its way to its "proper" "evolution". Global Universal warming? Are we causing the Universe to crunch and stay stuck? Anyone?

The Night Before Christmas 1776

Every time I see that depiction of Washington crossing the Delaware, I imagine the rest of the guys in the boat as the chorus, singing "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" from the musical "Guy's 'n' Dolls"....

Sorry; had to share that with somebody.....

If only the walls of that control room could talk!

"Control Room"..... hmmmmmm.

Isn't that were all the Dominatrixes hang out until their next sex slave arrives?

And RA claims he does what there... "orbital mechanics"? Yeah, right! He's probably greasing the pulleys and cleaning the whips and chains, while dancing to the "Masochism Tango"!

what the heck was that for? it wasnt even addressed to you. i dont need your pitty, but i also dont need you turning on me. i guess it just goes to show ya, the only person you can trust or confide in is yourself. thanks for nothing, and i hope your backstabbing gets you beat. merry christmas, you punk. i didn't ask for you to be on a side, but i thought maybe, just maybe, you'd have enough smarts to figure "hey, he isnt bad, he just doesnt see it the way we do" but no, you gotta go with the crowd and figure im wrong based on that. go ahead jerk. have fun.

Well, a clean-up job like that could get kinda messy:

There once was a man from Maclean,
Who invented a sex-toy machine.
Concave, or convex
it would service either sex,
but oh, what a b*stard to clean!

From 116 to Dr. Stochastic: "pie times the raidus.... squared i think...."

I can envision Andy Griffith shaking his head. "No, son! Pie are round. Corn bread are square!"
