  1. That inreadable graph is sure going to help the original poster here. :rolleyes:

     

    The graph is % of light reflected versus reflection angle for pure s polarized light (the green line) and pure p polarized light (the red line). S polarized light is the surface reflection or "glare" that you would get from ice ("information" if you well). Polarized sunglasses are designed to reduce transmisison of s polarized light (unless you wear them at 90 degrees) giving you more (relative to before) p light transmission so you can do things like see rocks in the water. But you are losing some of the surface reflection information.

     

    "surface reflection information"...?

     

    I'm gonna barf.

  2. What you should say here is that YOU think they suck...

     

    People need to quit this nonsense. Of course it's what he thinks. He wrote it. Not everything needs a disclaimer.

     

    People need to quit this nonsense. Not every comment on a comment needs to be commented on so that people don't comment on comments.

     

     

    Heh heh.

     

    No comment.

  3. I can't help thinking that, 30 years from now, we'll be a nation of faded, frowning skulls, mer-manatees, and supernovaed stars.

     

    It already is. I remember someone saying that a 15-year or so old girl was on Alki Beach last summer, saying of women in their 30's & 40's "I can't believe how many of these old skanks have tattoos!"

     

    About 25% of Americans under 50 have tattoos, 40% of Americans under 40. (2006 numbers.)

     

    An article in U.S. News & World Report ranked tattooing as the sixth fastest growing retail business of the 1990's, right behind the internet, paging services, bagels, computers, and cellular phone services. I'm just wondering what the next fad will be, and if or for how long tattooing will remain popular, and if it doesn't, well, goodbye to the jobs for the folks in the 20,000+ tattoo parlors in America right now.

     

    Not a criticism of tattooing, mind you. Just that it's been REAL popular in the U.S. for the last 20 years or so.

    farts precede shit, and you exist. there's your proof.

     

    :confused: I'm confused. Are you saying that Lizard_Brain was, in fact, shat from Jesus?

     

    Does that mean I'm Holy Shit?

     

    :lmao:

     

     

  5. This question came up on a running forum I was on recently, but was nixed by the uptight mods. But I thought it was valid and intriguing.

     

    The mods were okay with the topic of farting until the subject of Our Savior came up along with it (I think someone said "Oh, Holy Jesus", and it went from there), and some PC tightass (no pun intended) got offended.

     

    The world wants to know.

     

    Did Jesus fart?

     

    :confused:

  6. Got me thinking about my vintage harnesses. Although they have been stored indoors, inside heavy dark plastic/rubbermaid tubs, they are pushing 20 years old. We all remember what happened to Todd Skinner not to long ago. I suppose I should step up to a harness at least from this century. None of them are even faded though. Any thoughts or data on this?

     

    Yeah - Is your life worth 40 bucks?

     

    Can I be in your will?
