SOHO Strikes Back

Nick Lightfoot writes "As seen on /. several days ago, Euroseti is holding a conference to show off it's collection of pictures of 'UFOs' taken by SOHO cameras. SOHO has released a response page to show how a cosmic ray or other similar ccd artifact could be mistaken for a UFO, especially after the image has been enhanced. After watching Euroseti's video featuring some of the images, I was able to identify one of the 'UFO' images as a comet, and several others looked like they were just planets. Hopefully they will release some images on the web soon so I taking take a closer look at them without having to buy their £15 cd."

    Family Ties Tv Show Theme Song Lyrics
    Title: "Without Us"
    By: "Jeff Barry And Tom Scott"

    I bet we been together for a million years,
    And I bet we'll be together for a million more.

    Oh, It's like I started breathing on the night we kissed,
    And I can't remember what I ever did before.

    What would we do baby, Without Us?
    What would we do baby, Without Us?

    And there ain't no nothing we can't love each other through.

    What would we do baby, Without Us?

    Sha la la la.

  5. Re:I don't understand the post. by packeteer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    As english is my native languadge i think i can explain. Although i live in America I am being put through public schools so many would argue i know nothing about the languadge but anyway.

    "its" is a possessive pronoun
    "it's" is a contraction for "it" and "is"

    it's just another one of those exceptions to the rules.
