My random thought:
Glad today is my Friday!! Gonna head down/over to Laredo, Tx (actually 40 miles east of Laredo) to Falcon International Reservoir to do some bass fishing. Leaving tomorrow afternoon and coming back on Sunday night
I joined a bass club a few months ago and this is my first chance to go to a club tourny.

 

HELL YEAH ! ! !

Good luck. Hey, take a camera, you never know what ya might land. If it's a record BASS, get some good pics.

 

Will do, just hope I don't land on the wrong side of the lake.........Do they mark the U.S./Mexico boundary on the water with a big black line, like they do on the maps?

 

The intense light and X-rays don't emminate from the black hole, they are expelled by the particles that are being drawn into the black hole. The particles emit all wavelengths along the EM spectrum, but only the highest are able to escape the pull of gravity. When the particles get even closer, nothing escapes. MUHHAAAAHAHAHA!

 

Ahhh we would know what he had for lunch...

 

I posted that three days ago.
How did you get wind of it?

 

evidently there isn't much breeze there...

 

Shooo-wee! That smell would gag a maggot.

 

It is like cheese, better when old...

 

Really you have to define touching. If you believe in calculus, then there are these neat things called limits that predict where things are essentially touching if you apply them to that type of system. However, calculus is essentially a method of approximation. So it is the one time in math that there is such a thing as close enough.

On the other hand, if we are discussing the touching of two objects then again we must define touching. For example machinest have a tool known as lap blocks that are machined to near atomic smoothness (forgive me if I got the name wrong). There is no magnetic attraction between two of the blocks but if you place the smooth surfaces against each other you have to slide them apart as if they were magnets because the atomically smooth surfaces come in contact and for all intensive purposes make a psuedo chemical bond as if the two blocks were actually a single block of metal with no joint between them. This happens because the atomic attractive forces (Van der Waals forces for those chemists and physisists) are extremely powerful, especially considering that there are so many atoms per square inch.

Well, that was probably way more than anyone wanted to know. Surface science is really cool but to quote a pretty famous professor on the subject of the surfaces of semiconductors. " Sufaces are a 8itch! "


God I am such a nerd.

Why is it that when traveling on a 2 lane highway everyone plods along at 5 mph under the speed limit but when you hit the 4 lane they all speed up? Makes me have to go twice as fast to pass all the idiots, someday my luck will run out and I'll get a speeding ticket I can't sweet talk my way out of

 

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

 

Why do hypercondriac's (sp?) never feel like they are hypercondriatic (sp?).

If a hypercondriac did feel like they were hypercondriatic, then would that mean that they healed them selfs of all other inflictions?

 

Why does my spell checker try to change kobiashi to homophobias?

(Seriously)

 

Interesting. My spell checker suggests "kibosh".

For Vader it suggests "Verdure" and "Wader". Thankfully it doesn't suggest . . . oh, never mind.
