  1. (snip)

     

    The sun is dense - its specific gravity averages 1.4. It also contains 99.9% of the solar system's mass.

     

    But it's not all that big, relatively speaking. VY Canis Majoris would engulf the solar system far beyond the orbit of Jupiter - well over a 100 foot radius (relative to 1 inch) on my scale.

  2. If you two were kewl enough you'd KNOW what I'm talkin' 'bout.

     

    I'd give you a one word hint, but there isn't one that wouldn't give it away, so here's a 3 word hint:

     

    "Iraqi war bill"

  3. I assign my 8th graders the task of creating a Solar System scale model on campus with a 10cm diameter sun. Every year they are blown away by both the size of the planets relative to the sun, and how far away each of them is. Last year a student said, "The Sun must be really dense if its gravity can influence something that small, that far away.

  4. sounds a bit robin trowerish, NO?

     

    Maybe, at times, with the wah and reverb.

     

    Other times, not so much..

    I hope we're not going to get fined for ignoring these signs, are these turning up all over?

    You talkin ta Me? Or the general CCCommie?

    Yes.

     

    The sign with the Statue of Liberty has a tea-bagger-manifesto look to it.

    Any idea what it's purporting?

     

    BTW, Drederek, 4/22/01. We're almost, like, CCCommie twins, or something.

     

  6. Right in there with Donna Summer and Randy Newman.

     

    Albert King must be rollin' in his grave for getting stuck with that lot.

  7. Kevbone. May I call you Kevin?

    I don't want to put a crimp in your style here, but...

    the conspiracy theory story of 9/11 is a lie. Take 5 minutes out of your regularly schedule conspiracy theorist-controlled mind and get a dose of the truth. And then do your own homework on all the information presented, put your critical thinking cap on and decide for yourself what you believe.

     

    So if it is all a lie....then what is the truth? That OBL was behind it all? Even with no proof? come on man.....wake up slave.

    One step at a time:

    -Go to the link you posted

    -Read the comment by the OP of the video

    -Come back here

    -Read what I posted, for understanding this time.
