Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

There is a transit of Mercury later this year (November 8). The closer you are to the middle of the Pacific, the better view you have.

 

Observing this event requires a telescope. Mercury appears only about 10 arc seconds across as seen from Earth under the circumstances, which is too small for the unaided eye to perceive. So you will need a telescope to see it.

 

Obligatory:

Do not look through a telescope, even a small one, at the Sun.

Use a projection screen and look at the image projected on that.

Take me to the Kaptain - Prism

 

The Planet Dies and no one cries

so hard to believe

If there was somewhere else to go

you know I'd be the first to leave

I don't mean to sound ungrateful

but I'm afraid that I just can't stay

 

I had a dream the other night

and as the dream unfurled

I took a trip in a rocket ship

and I found another world

they told me about thier Kaptain

that I could ask him could I stay

 

I said Take me to the Kaptian

and tell him why I'm here

I want to stay in your world

while my world disappears

and tell him why I'm here

Oh won't you take me to the Kaptian

Ohhh Take me to the Kaptian

I think someone at my Cable TV provider has pulled a fast one. I think they went to their bosses and proposed having a Monty Python Movie Marathon on Good Friday, but without going into any more detail on their idea....

 

.... because I can't think of any other way they could've justified showing "Life of Brian" on Good Friday to management.

"Indeed, as a rough guide, the more anti-social the celebrity, the more vapidly inoffensive his biographer. In another decade or so, they'll be working their leaden charms on the golden age of gangsta rap: "Tupac recalled working on 'I F--ked Your *****, You Fat Muthaf--ka' as one of his most rewarding experiences in show business . . ."
