A well-kwnon scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: “What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.” The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, “What is the tortoise standing on?” “You’re very clever, young man, very clever,” said the old lady. “But it’s turtles all the way down!”

All of those guys are chumps. Seriously, every one of them.
Surely not Casey?
Most certainly him.
vanderbeek was pretty buff at one point for that god-awful highschool football movie he did, could snap little biebers twig arms then!
I seriously doubt that he could take him. http://www.rick.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bieber-19th-birthday-01.jpg
He might be smaller but he has the heart of a champion and would easily kick the Varsity Blue out of Vandercreep.
Bieber would smash their faces in, he is a tough lad.
he can be fierce when you take away his # 7 bibber

Gah that song, it makes the ears to bleeeeeed, such sacharine-sweeeeetness, Agh! I feel the diabetic-shock coming on must-call-ambulance!
This is neat: http://news.yahoo.com/did-humans-really-eat-neanderthals-161418745.html
See ya tomorrow. I’ll wave as I pass by.
were u here? i hope you bring good space news—good night.
G’nite!
I hope to catch you tomorrow.
It’s an interesting topic— i think that there was some warring going on but that’s not what did them in ultimately they just Gentrified to death
I agree, that would be a good setting for a story. I’ve written some speculative poems about how that played out.
that is awesome! part of the mystery of the human legacy—we can speculate but all we ever really know?
We could even be a lot older than we really think we are as a species! It opens the door to some many what-ifs. But it is fun imagining,
I believe we all have some Neandertal DNA in us.
Stop talking about my uncle Philippe.
I think they were hunted down and killed by the homo-sapiens.
Bass, who was the Canadian guy who kept going after Lance and turned out to be right? I can’t remember his name.
Not sure of any Canadian (I’ll have to look that up), but I know two Irish journalists – Paul Kimmage & David Walsh – went after Lance, got their names slung thru the dirt, and in Paul’s case was even sued by the UCI, only to be proven right about L.A.
Downthread… you guessed correctly!
A little something for Orcas!

Bass. DICK POUND!
Am I right?
😯
I’m serious, Google “Dick Pound”
😯 😯 😯 😯
Yes – he’s the former head of WADA (World Anti-Doping Association).
Lance unsuccessfully tried to have Pound removed from the IOC (International Olympic Committee) for accusations that riders were using EPO during the 2004 TdF and that evidence existed that it could’ve been used as early as 1999, when Lance “won” his first yellow-jersey. Pound didn’t specifically named Lance in his report, but Lance took it very personal and he (with collusion from the UCI thru their Dutch lawyer Emile Vrijman, himself later known as a defense-attorney for doping riders such as Michael Rasmussen) tried to have Pound dismissed from both WADA and IOC.
Bad news. Son can’t keep Rocky. I don’t want to talk about it right now. Just wanted to let you guys know. TTYS.
😦
I’m sorry. 😦
😦
Oh, no! 😥
sorry barb
Shit!!!

I think you’ll like the last two.
Huray for the Hula and to the deer—-you never poop where you sleep/eat.
Definitely time for change in the UCI… especially given that two riders (Danilo di Luca and Mauro Santambrogio) were just recently caught using EPO at this year’s Giro d’Italia – and both have histories of doping and have been previously suspended for such – and both on the same team.
I remember di Luca getting caught before.
agree if they can’t clean house what’s the point.
Fuck the NRA and break it off in Darrell Assa.
*******BEST POST OF THE WEEK***********
Ahhhhhhhh, you say that to all the girls………..
Shouldn’t Assa be in prison for insurance fraud?
I’m sue they can find something with more meat to charge him with.
His assa will get a workout there…
He’s a vile, self promoting prick. He skating on some thin ice.

A-Roid is No. 2 at HP right now.
how’s his brother hem doing?
So, George Clooney, huh? hubba hubba?
YES!
MsB, sorry about Rocky’s situation. Good luck to you both.
I’m so sad over this. 😦
Nobody can take him in? We can’t, our kitties wouldn’t cotton to another feline.
We would … but I guess Rocky doesn’t get along with other cats. 😦
that’s what got him in trouble—i never seem him but he sounds like a jack kinda Kat. Alas i cannot take him.
Cobalt, you can relate to this.
Pepe dreamed his hip was in pain and he woke up. His hip pain woke him up.
OA is a bitch.
I can. At this point with my condition I don’t know what is OA and what’s PMR. But, I know the pain and the inability to get comfortable. Tell him I’m with him.
You know he sleeps with six or seven pillows? He has to put a bunch of pillows under a leg to lessen the pain.
The Marc Maron show is my favorite new thing. He’s a funny mofo, but he’s got a good heart. The opossum in the crawl space episode displays him at his best. Funny and thoughtful.
just watched the preview —i’ll give a shot looks good.
See you soon. Sweet Dreams
sorry bother was snacking—sleep well and don’t be like pepe, dreaming of pain, think Sandy beaches, Mrs CBD and tiny umbrella drinks.
G’nite!
Good night, CBD!
Sorry I missed you, Cobalt – sweet dreams, be well.
Peace.
Your next words all decide everything.
Star Trek is better than Battlestar Gallactica?
Depends which versions of each you’re talking about…
yes!
What’s “Issa” spelled backwards?
My turn to crash & burn… nite, folx!
G’nite, Bass.
Good night, Bass – sleep well.
Peace.
Does anyone have a spare I can borrow?
Fluff!!
Evening, Neb. 🙂
I went with “Tire”
Hai, Fluff! Hawks screwed the pooch tonight.
Hai, Haru. Yes, that’s what I hear. 😉
well no one came up with anything good.
To what?

Wa-wa pedal!
Tire
Man did not create the wheel
Nevertheless
It’s been told that now
Down through the ages
But that wasn’t man,
T’was was lesser man
The domesticated man
Who watched over the herds
Cared for the crops
And spoke to the trees
That man, deformed man
Enchanted by shadows on the wall
That man, who hid
Was the man who made the wheel
Down in his cave
Down further still
As the Golden Age
Came to a close
He labored for a means
So that man would never hunt him
The tire treads, the bleach on the back wheels
Locking them breaks and turning
Racing, Colliding
Under spinning lugs
The hunted down
Chased, pursued
The missing link forever lost
Back in another age
Where paintings on the wall
Are the only thing of them remaining
You are amazing! But look at your post..you asked for “a spare”. I would never give you a word like ‘tire’ LOL! But look, you’ve managed to write a spiffy poem about it anyway.
Thanks you! Your wit is always in top form, Fluff.
He is.
Great one, neb! It’s quite the image.
Thanks, CG! How are you doing tonight?
Good (yawn) morning!
Q’Plah! Most Honourable, Fi!
Q’Plah my warrior friend, how goes the war?
We have the momentum, several Vorcha Class Battle cruisers attacked a Cylon colony. Inflicting serious damage. The outer defenses were no threat to the attack fleet. Over 70 Cylon Raiders were destroyed. It was a glorious victory.
We will celebrate tonight with blood wine my friend!
Hello, Realm.
I have been obsessed with working on my family tree,
but when I got to “Gerberga Von Kinziggau of Swabia, b. 982,” I decided to call it a night.
Hope you are all doing well.
Morning TG, Ahh the Kinziggau’s of Swabia, I knew them well!
How’s you?
fi!!!!
What a treat to see you.
Good to see you too TG.
I woke up about an hour ago, and could not get back off to sleep!
I know the feeling, and I hate when that happens.
I’ve decided it’s better to just get up, and have a nice hot cup of coffee or tea.
Holy cats, that’s like a million years ago!
Hai, TG.
Hey, HH.
If I keep going, I may get that far.
How are ya?
Hai, we’re fine today. A little sad about Rocky.
What happened to Rocky?
Oh, he can’t find a home 😦
I am so sorry to hear this. I was hoping things would work out.
Hi, tg! You have been busy to go back that far!
I figure I’ll hit the proverbial brick wall eventually, then I’ll go back and make corrections. This project could last awhile.
How have you been?
I think it’s fantastic that you’ve taken on this project. I think it would make a great Christmas pressie for your family when you’re done.
I’m pretty good. I’ve had a sinus infection which resulted in an abscessed tooth – excruciating pain, but all better now. I’d rather give birth ten times over!
So sorry, RL.
You know it…. a toothache is the worst.
I’d forgotten how bad they can be. The next headache is the dentist’s bill!
Greetings, Termgirl!
Hello, neb.
I see you’ve written a few gems for us to enjoy.
Thank you.
Thanks! It is great to see you! How are things on your slice of life?
Hello to All!
Morning Rick.
Hiya, RL.
Hai, Ricki
Hey!
My little lizard pal says hello, too. He’s sitting on the window sill. He’s so cute!
I like lizards.
I do, too. And the teeny, weenie baby ones are so adorable. I have to watch the kittehs because they love to catch them and torture them. We have a few still running around with hardly any tail.
I had a pet chameleon when I was a kid,
Is he an iguana?
No, he’s just a little green garden lizard. It’s just funny that he comes to visit me most nights. And doesn’t run away if I make any sudden movements or anything. I feel like I need to put out a plate of food and water. 🙂
LOL. A nice bug might be appreciated.
Neat article: http://news.stanford.edu/news/2013/june/quake-acoustics-tsunami-060413.html
Hey, Neb! Good article and thanks for posting. It fascinates me that they are able to make these correlations. Also, I didn’t realize so many people were killed – horrible tragedy. 😦
I think it was a smart move to study the acoustic, if animals are created with that ability, as it seems because the know when to flee an area, then we should try to pick up that sound also.
