Interesting; any astronomers out there in FReeperland?

I don't know about you, but I intend to become a world-famous Couch Astronomer.

I’m no expert in astronomy but I can tell you God’s Plan of Salvation is out of this world.

As a huge fan of Red Dwarf I'm reminded of one of its great lines...Holly,while giving a summary of Red Dwarf's recent exploits,observed that “We encountered a planet shaped very much like Felicity Kendall's bottom”.With a grin he then said “we flew around *that* one a few times!”

Someone should explain this public “data sharing” concept to the Climate Change scientists.

It usually takes years, and FOIA lawsuits, before the Climate Scoundrels can be coerced into releasing their data and their calculations.

I really like those screw saver type program that allow your computer to crunch data in the down time.

Unfortunately right now the “cutting-edge consol” download is not loading/timed out - maybe server overload ... you need this download to install the thingy and begin the hunt - from reading the directions on the first page it is not for the faint of heart technologically speaking.
