So if I refuse to listen to a Holocaust denier, or turn off a Tom Cruise interview to avoid hearing a rant on the rejection of psychoactive drugs, or pass a bum on the street with no regard for his THE END IS NIGH sign, or refuse to take "sympathetic water" from a homeopathis doctor, I'm a zealot?
That's fucking rish. Especially given the etymology of the word "zealot".
That's not diffraction. The irregular surface of the moon partially blocks the sunlight during a solar eclipse, producing an effect called Bailey's beads. The drama of this effect is helped considerably by the rough equivalence of the sun and moon's angular size as seen from Earth.
By comparison, on the moon the Earth is approximately three times the angular size of the Sun, so the illumination of the rim only occurs because of atmospheric diffraction. This diffraction of sunlight is also responsible for the reddish light one sees during a lunar eclipse.
Who will win the battle: the pro-troleum anti-AGW crowd, the creationists who believe that man cannot corrupt the Earth since it was created by a loving God, or the Flat-Earthers who think all satellites are a conspiracy from Big Spheroid?
"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
This is exactly what someone would say if he were a disgruntled ex-employee fired for insubordination.
This is exactly what someone would say if he were flogging a book.
This is exactly what someone would say if he were a partisan hack who did not like the previous administration.
and
This is exactly what someone would say if it were true and he were loyal to America rather than the party in power at the time.
Either a lot of Bushies need to go to jail, or Tice does.
I look forward to the authorities finding your body in your collapsed house, the morning paper sitting on your stoop, bearing the headline "The National Weather Service announced a tornado warning in the local area last night..."
To beam or not to beam; that is the question:
Whether 'tis Dagger of the Mind to suffer
The photon torpedoes of Outrageous Okona,
Or to take arms against a sea of Tribbles,
And by transporting, send them?
For those who defended Bush seizing these powers and attacked those of us who opposed such as "supporting the terrorists", enjoy those selfsame powers in the hands of him who many of you seemed to fear most.
On the plus side, at least now you may take actions in your self-interest that mesh with those in the principled opposition.
Banding is a natural consequence of planet formation. The comparatively stronger gravity of a protoplanet attracts nearby material, which accretes onto the protoplanet and makes it larger; or it changes the orbital energy of nearby material, driving it into a smaller orbit if the material is interior to the protoplanet's orbit, or into a larger one if it is exterior to the p-planet.
The comparison to the rings of Saturn is useful, but not completely germane. The banding of Saturn's rings is more akin to the Kirkwood gaps seen in the orbits of the asteroids, as driven by orbital resonance with Jupiter's orbit around the Sun.
The Japanese had two full days to surrender after Hiroshima and opted not to. It is possible to assume that a demonstration bomb might have spared Nagasaki, but not both cities.

And one of the early papers on cloud-seeding was written by Kurt Vonnegut's brother Bernard. But perhaps that's just a granfalloon...

Flat-earthers for the win.

Whoever wins, we lose.
Right on! Oh, and the iPhone too. I mean, how did Apple ever survive the fact that no one ever bought either one of those products?
Maybe they negotiated a share of that avalanche of Zune sales.

Actually it sounds more like Disney before the Pixar acquisition.
Hell, I just hope no one tells Richard Gere.

Clearly you have forgotten the brilliance that was BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 1980.
And I would be a lot better off if you tell me how you managed it.

You may have no idea if this is true, but apparently the NSA does.
Does it really take that many calories to reinflate her?
