death tribble Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Australia got in because they screen the contest and really love it. End result was after asking nicely they were admitted. With the downfall of what was the Eastern Bloc a lot of new countries got in and that is why we now have two semi finals and then the final. Israel competed in the 70s winning back to back in 78 and 79. Then won in 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 The Mars 2020 mission will include an autonomous helicopter. There is no description of the weaponry to be mounted in the helicopter. I assume it'll be some kind of directed energy weapon, since physical munitions make for excessive weight. tkdguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Male fruit flies take pleasure in having sex Male fruit flies find sex pleasurable, a study published in Current Biology suggests. The study also found that male flies deprived of sex are more likely to choose alcohol as an alternative reward. Profound grasp of obvious here.

Yeah, when the time flies attach themselves to your reality, your timeline gets all black and gooshy your chronoentropic potential is in real jeopardy. Not to mention slimy and disgusting. Kind of like terrestrial politics these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 This sounds like the premise of a Futurama episode-- "Good News, Everyone! I've discovered the oldest oxygen in the universe, in a galaxy far, far away! Thirteen billion light-years to be exact. How's about you expendable idi--I mean essential crew members pop over there and bring it home for me?" "Old oxygen? Wouldn't that smell all dank and musty--like the Professor's slippers?" "Actually, the vintage oxygen market is quite lucrative. Collectors and air connoisseurs pay millions for the really old stuff--the older the better!" "Millions, you say ? This bending unit has definitely got to get some of that action!" "I thought robots didn't use oxygen. It promotes rust!" "Rust ain't a problem for me since I got my new rustproofing upgrade. The next time I tell you to bite my shiny metal ass, you can be assured that it's rust free!" "Good to know!" Old Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
