The Biggest Star Known to Man

Planet and Star Sizes Compared (with music)

Important Wisdom Everyone Must Ponder

raverman says...

ummm seriously... i could also say:

We all eat plants so we all share the same compost.

We are all part of the same fertilizer residues.

We shared steak from the same cow....we are all part of that mystical cow.

Our solar system all comes from the same dust.
We are all part of the asteroids around Uranus.


I think it's more interesting to point out our body is made of millions and millions of cells, bacteria and other symbiotic organisms that grow and function together. We are not one creature....but a host of millions of creatures with a single consiousness.

Or if you prefer - we are all wet blobs of cosmic crap.

Inside The Sun - A Closer Look At Our Star

Ornthoron says...

>> ^GeeSussFreeK:
It seems there is a gap in the causal chain a bit. The sun is a good place for fusion because it is so hot, but it is so hot because of fusion. What is that extra component needed to start the thing?


Crach course in the origin of the solar system:

The whole solar system started off as just a huge gas cloud, which slowly collapsed in on itself due to gravity. When you compress a gas, the temperature rises as explained by the first law of thermodynamics. Thus, when the gas cloud was compressed enough due to gravity, it became hot and dense enough in the center to start off fusion. The immense radiation caused by the nuclear reactions then blew all the matter around the center outwards in the solar system, revealing the Sun in the center. Lighter elements like hydrogen and helium were blown farther away than heavier stuff like metal and rocks. This is why the small rock planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars orbit quite close to the Sun, while the big gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune orbit further away.

Gustav Holst's Uranus, the Magician

Sarah Palin says Pipeline is "God's will, so pray for that"

NordlichReiter says...

Fuck, god doesn't give a shit about this planet.

He is like that contractor you hired to make your database, every time you ask for maintenance he says "I created it... now you deal with it."

He is probably trying to fix that recursion loop that is broken over in the rings of Uranus.

If we keep sending him emails (prayers) to his help desk.. he may as well just wipe the earths C: Drive.

What do you do after number two? (Howto Talk Post)

>> ^MarineGunrock:
They both circle Uranus in search of Klingons.


...to wipe out. (Had to add that last part. )

What did Spock see in Kirk's bathroom?
Captain's Log.

Why did Capt. Kirk piss on the cieling?
Because he wanted to go where no man had gone before.

...I think that's all the Star Trek potty humor I know.

The Mystery of the Hexagon on Saturn

shuac says...

Oh, also.

Before the discovery of Uranus, Saturn was universally regarded as the ruling planet of Aquarius, which many believe is the age we are currently in. In Roman mythology, Saturn was the god of agriculture and his symbol is a scythe.

Saturn was associated with the 1st and 8th houses (1st house = incarnation, 8th house = death; Saturn being the planet of mortality, and hence, why the Grim Reaper carries a scythe).

Saturn was also said to 'joy' in the 12th house of self-undoing.

well everyone knows there is tons of methane in the atmosphere of Uranus, so i bet this was more of a "hey, them too!" discovery, not so much a "cant believe it!" one.

.... also spare me the puns

The grand scheme of things

Wow watching this actually made me feel sick and another thing where is Uranus? All jokes aside they had every planet but one, the people of that planet are going to file a petition. Also I thought blue stars were the biggest, or was that the hottest? Hmmm

The Official Roast of karaidl! (Parody Talk Post)

kronosposeidon says...

You know, choggie, I think I appreciate karaidl’s wit just as much as you, because I’m a bit of a clown myself and therefore I take notice of the finer points of Mr. K’s intricate humorous stylings. And you know what else? YOU can be a funny bastard too at times. I think I understand many of your tangential, virtually indecipherable remarks, but even if I don’t I still recognize the talent that lies behind them.

Now that I’m done with the blowjobs I’ll say this: Kindly shut your fucking piehole. This is a ROAST, and at ROASTS people often say the most obscene, shocking, and tasteless things to shame the roastee, and through this process we humiliate ourselves too because we’ve all said such debased things. In other words we all wallow in the muck, and have a good laugh in the process. You know, because it’s a FUCKING ROAST. Sorry if this isn’t your cup of tea, love; I guess we can’t all live up to your lofty standards of skewering.

Rottenseed: This karaidl bloke is up for proper roasting today.
Me: By Jove, we’ll give him what for. A sound thrashing, indeed.
Rottenseed: It will be a jolly good time. I might even make a scandalous reference to the Prime Minister!
Me: Gadzooks! That will be a sticky wicket! An oblique reference to the buskers at Piccadilly Circus would be a toff more shandy, savvy?


Yes, that is what a proper roast should be like. On Uranus.

Spare us the ongoing critiques. We all like karaidl, and have all turned out to show him our appreciation. We’re doing our best to make this enjoyable, while you seem to be doing your best to piss on all of us for trying. If I wanted ceaseless criticism I’d have never left Catholic school. Enough already. I ain’t in the mood for this shit right now, and most likely I won’t be in the mood for it later either.

Enemies of Reason - Part Two

Memorare says...

From early in the video - the reason superstition is gaining ground is because:

A) It's easy to understand and therefore to believe in. Things like "I Know that I Know that I Know" and stuff about angels and supernatural realms are easy to grasp.

and

B) Science is becoming Damn Hard to grasp even for educated laymen who bother to make the effort.

I mean who the phuk actually understands carbon nanotubes, or electron/hole flow, or genetics, or quantum physics, or the rings of Uranus or damn near anything that crosses the Science News wire these days. Even Applied Science has advanced so far beyond the =capability= of the ordinary guy to understand that many people have simply given up trying.

edit: oh and i recall seeing a tv special on Hawking years ago where he was asked "do you believe in god", after a bit of cosmological hemming and hawing he finally said no.
