Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

There's hole in the window sill. A squirrel has moved into this hole. I can hear him scratching away inside the wall. Obviously, I can't let that go on. I need to move him out and repair all the damage. I went outside to scare him away, and he stuck his cute little squirrel head out and stared at me. Awww. I couldn't do it. Dammit, now what?

This is a message to whichever one of you snuck into my apartment and took ]Monsters of Templeton. Ha ha. Hilarious.

 

Now give it back. Joke's over. You may have looked around this book-strewn mess and decided that I didn't really need it. I do. I'm going to hold my breath. I'm turning blue....

I was thinking about Gilligan's Island (for some strange reason), and a couple of things ocurred to me.

 

1. If The Professor hadn't been on the boat, the others would likely have been *toast*.

 

2. Why didn' they build a seperate hut for *all* of the single people? The Professor is the only one two rates having some privacy? And it makes sense to make a 2-person hut for the married Howells, but making the other 4 share two huts? It's not like they were running out of room or natural building materials.

Sometimes I have flashbacks of things. It's only momentary, maybe just a feeling of recognition. But many of them are set off by things I never experienced, like images of events before I was born.

 

Is it nostalgia? Past life regression? Or have I just been watching too much Highlander?

Rock the Vote!

 

Please come by and cast your votes in the Justice League, Inc. Superdraft finale. There are a lot of great ideas being formed there. Even you weren't directly involved, everyone is invited to cast votes.

 

As always, the draft itself is open to everyone to participate, and another will start in May.

 

Thanks!

To accurately state the speed of sound, various environmental factors must be included, including (but not limited to) things like the density of the medium and temperature.

 

When stating the speed of light, shouldn't there be similar considerations, like the strength of the surrounding gravitational field, since that affects both linear distances and time?

Chromosome 2 in humans is a result of an end-to-end fusion of two ancestral chromosomes, leaving telomeres in the 'middle', and a second (inactive) centromere.

As far as we know, is this arrangement unique to humans, or has this occurred to any other animal (or plant) on Earth as well?
