Dr. Anomaly Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I want to make one of those Quizilla style quizes. The quiz would be: What NGD Personality Are You? Anyone interested in helping? Sounds like fun. If you'd like my help, you have only to ask.

Cancer Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Memo to self: Anacortes has a major motorcyclist event the last weekend of September. Check this annually, so that you can schedule the trip to that town for your father-in-law's birthday the other day of that weekend. Nothing against motorcyclists in this; it's merely that packing a few thousand extra motor vehicles ... even two-wheel motor vehicles ... into any medium-size town messes up the traffic flow something fierce. On the other hand, a comment about the noise level induced by the 'cycles would be something against motorcyclists. Amen for pseudo-anonymous internet handles.

Dr. Anomaly Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER nd besides' date=' we will disagree as to which ones are classic etc.[/quote'] So true...I wouldn't want to turn it into our version of the Trekkers' infighting: "Longest Running Thread EVER, the original postings, are clearly the best." "No way, dude...LRTE: The Next Postination sticks to topics so much better, and don't ignore the continuity of previous posts!" "You're both wrong; LRTE: Deep Post 99,999 has much better characterization all the way around. You can actually see the posters developing more maturity and depth of character between their first posts to that thread and the latest ones." (In unision) "And no one better even think about bringing up LRTE: Forumager!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Smart-*** things in scientific journals, part 228: Including a citation of Galileo. The direct quote, from Chaname, Pinsonneault, & Terndrup, in the Sept 20 issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters, is: Theoretical models of stellar structure and evolution have traditionally neglected rotation, even though stars have been known to rotate since the 17th century (Galilei et al. 1613). The citation as listed in the references section of the paper is Galilei, G., Welser, M., & de Filiis, A. 1613, Istoria E dimostrazioni intorno alle macchie solari E loro accidenti comprese in tre lettere scritte all'illvstrissimo signor Marco Velseri Linceo, In Roma, MDCXIII The paper also references four papers (it's a huge citation list for an Ap.J.L. paper) where I'm in the author list ... so this must be the only time for all eternity that I'll be listed on a more or less equal basis with Galileo.
