Sunspots Return
We're emerging from the longest, deepest sunspot drought since 1913 (we discussed its depths here) with the appearance of a robust group of sunspots over the weekend. Recently we discussed a possible explanation for the prolonged minimum. The Fox News article quotes observer Michael Buxton of Ocean Beach, Calif.: "This is the best sunspot I've seen in two years." jamie found a NASA site where you can generate a movie of the recent sunspot's movement — try selecting the first image type and bumping the resolution to 1024. The magnetic field lines are clearly visible.
I bet you were pretty happy to hear this.
The marks on your skin that looked like sunspots...
turned out to be rings around Uranus!

Speak for yourself. I may not have learned life's most important lessons, but one thing I did learn is the multiple hours of foreplay and cuddling surrounding the sex isn't worth the two second blast of hormones.

Depends on how broken it is. If it's just slow or fast, it will be right much, much less than twice a day. Only analog 12 hour clocks that are actually stopped are right twice a day, and that assumes the hands are still intact and point unambiguously. Digital clocks that are blinking 12:00 could be interpreted also as being correct twice a day (providing they lack an AM/PM indicator - if not, then they're right once a day). Some digital clocks blink until set, but continue to count time, which would make them perpetually incorrect unless they just happened to be started at 12:00.
That's an indication that you haven't had really good sex.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
Don't you mean "frosting on the face" ?
