That’s very important.

Sorry, but I’ve seen so many rants like this it’s hard to pass up an opportunity to make fun of them. I would do the whole thing in caps, but then nobody would read it.

Nothing like this could ever happen in the real world, not ever. Cat’s dont stand in windows (mine doesn’t) okay maybe it does.

Phil just got some card and cut a cat shape out, painted it black then placed it upon ‘a’ window frame – that’s of course, if it is<- actually a window frame because it might be a real optical illusion. The roof, oh dear, the roof, well, that background is a super emposed photograph with a hidden face in it. The chimney is made of cake.

Yes, it’s just been confirmed by NASA just now from their Twitter page, that the chimney is definately made of cake, and because it’s been verified loads of times on Twitter, it’s just a bit of cake (the whole of this paragraph).

Damn spambot keeps swallowing my posts. Take 3.

* If you don’t think you’re freakish, just think of the looks you get when you try to explain to “normal” people why homeopathic remedies are at best placebos, and that the Earth is demonstrably a) round and b) more than 6000 years old and that there is no way to “reach a compromise” with people who claim otherwise.

The part of the story about something going “boom!” in the sky is very interesting, but the story’s ruined a bit by the repetitive references to Jupiter as the brightest star in the sky …

So it could be translated another way, “All your OS belong to us.” But, I’m just speculating. I actually did not see it, and only learned about it a short time ago. I love a good mystery though!

(He’s talking about Googles Doodle that featured a UFO abducting the second ‘O’)

My cat’s name is “Phong”, like the character on “Reboot”. He’s an orange tabby… and one cranky old crud.

Speaking of which, I’m kinda surprised we didn’t see a “Happy Birthday to the Intertoobs” post here.

My Facebook post: On September 2nd 1969, in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, two computers passed test data through a 15-foot gray cable. Stanford Research Institute joined the fledgling ARPANET network a month later; UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah joined by years end, and the internet was born. ~cribbed from Wired (I think)

Its cloudy-ish but fairly high in sky – looks like its nearly or equally as bright as Sirius and is very vividly red. Can anyone confirm or check this please?

Conditions here are not ideal with strong moonlight & clouds.

Its probably nothing, of course, but still … if something is happening I’d love ppl tobe checking ASAP! Its got me excited.

I know its possibly, probably even a false alarm & that Betelguese is a variable star, perhaps just having an unusally bright maxima but still ..

Just clouded over o/s but Betelguese is just punching through the clouds -very bright and red making a distinct first & negative mag triangle with Sirius & Rigel. I would estimate its much brighter than Rigel and approaching Sirius in apparent mag. I could be wrong but .. please check this out anyway if you can…

(Okay there’s the chimmley & roof for some sort of scale but then .. how big are *they* really?)

Schrodinger’s cat? Nice.

Is it really a black cat or a white cat in shadow? Or is it half black, half white in quantum flux and will only settle on an out-of-shadow colour once an observer collapses the wave-function?
