And out in the rest of the world . . .
Permalink Closed

While we were having our own excitement on the board, out in the scientific world this truly was an exciting weekend.

-- Cassini thinks it found water on a moon of Saturn, water pretty close to the surface

-- Mars orbiter makes a perfect orbit insertion. (Y'all speed it up, I want to live to see the manned landing.)

-- An incredible new species of white lobster, and a mammal thought to be extinct for millions of years are found.

As someone who started reading Robert A. Heinlein in the fourth grade, I find the two space events particularly exciting. We may not yet realize how important these two items are.

There's a big world out there.

Is this a joke that I don't get? The man died this weekend...no trial for him.

LVN, my favorite quote attributed to Robert Heinlein is "The plural of spouse is spice." Do you know if that attribution is accurate?

Oh, he's on trial all right. At least that's what his own belief system teaches. (Eastern Orthodox Christianity believes in divine judgement, heaven and hell.)

Sic semper tyrannis = thus always to tyrants

I suspect Milosevic's case has now been transferred to the Supreme "Being" Court...This may be one judge he doesn't want to go before...

Gosh, I don't know, but it sounds like something he would say. I haven't read him in years. I loved the juvenile novels, and as a teen and young adult I read the adult novels, but in later years I haven't had as much patience for him as I used to.
