Geminid Meteor Shower
Target Practice writes "Is it an asteroid? Is it a comet? Who cares? According to Sky and Telescope's website, 3200 Phaethon has been spewing chunks into our atmosphere for the past 150 years, and tonight, after the lan party, you can step outside at two or three A.M. and see the best light show yet - topping off at 75 meteors per hour! Be there..." Space.com has another story.
As an experienced troll,. I am fed up of stupid moderators modding things a
'troll' when they are not! Trolls are expertly crafted, works of art and should
only be used when they truly are a troll!
The following things are NOT trolls but offtopic rancid wannabe pablum.
* links to sites like goatse.cx and tubgirl (offtopic)
* FP (offtopic)
* Crapfloods like gay sex howtos (that shit is offtopic)
* Insults (flamebait)
* Sucks posts (flamebait)
Mods who moderate stuff like that should be bitchslapped and be forced to use
GNU/hurd
Real trolls post legitmate looking posts, and they capture many responses, and
before people released that they have been trolled they have gone nuts! Usually
the moderator that catches them out are trolls themselves and they KNOW what a
finley crafted troll looks like.
Please respect the hard work of trolls by moderating them properly, and mod
crap down to offtopic or flamebait! Good trolls are only posted once. Crap like
'In soviet russia', ??? & profit and "BSD is dying" are -1 redundant!
Please help make the -1, troll moderation the most valueble and hardest to get
moderation there is! (Posts at 5 are usually karma whores, and therefore not
worthy!)
I guess this is as close to a "shower" as some nerd will get.
SONY. Because caucasians are just too damn tall.
I woke up for the Leonids this year. First time I've EVER woken up in the middle of the night to see a meteor shower. Supposedly the BEST of this century. I saw stars. Didn't see a single falling one. I stood out there in the freezing $@#%ing cold, and couldn't get back to sleep for two hours, making me a mess at work the next day.
So, I think it's fair to say I'll pass on this one.
.... this metor shower is going to be a ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME[or close to it] event!
-vagina-
Nine vagina's were eating a burger. One vagina says to the other: "Nice shoes, you wanna go get a coffee somewhere?". The second vagina replies: "hell yeah. I'm thirsty after eating all these burgers."
-- the end?
>> I have no idea why they all use orange ones now, I guess they are cheaper? I think the orange ones are called "sodium vapor."
It's a big government plot so that you miss out on shit like this.
Oh, that and lasting forever and using half the power... I bet if you think hard, you'd remember seeing every 5th street light burned out. Something you hardly ever see.
If you dont like it, you could always get your ass into the car, drive for a half hour in any given direction, and watch your stars.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
