ASTRONOMERS: HOT MARTIAN CHICKS OBVIOUSLY ON OTHER SIDE OF BORING ROCK FORMATION Pasadena, CA - Despite setbacks to the Mars Spirit rover resulting in a sudden loss of communication, scientists and astronomers are still excited about the possibility of discovering water, signs of life and hot Martian chicks on the other side of the planet. "We are not worried," said deputy project manager Richard Cook speaking from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Thursday. "Spirit's twin, Opportunity, is set to arrive on Mars this weekend and we are confident we will have pictures of aliens working and playing in their [mostly female] Garden of Eden within weeks if not days." After 18 days on Mar's surface, Spirit has snapped the highest resolution photos ever taken of the red planet, including never before seen color images of rocks and craters. "Rocks and craters are great. Really exciting stuff," said UCLA-based astrophysicist Donald Mayer. "It was certainly worth 14 years of post graduate study and $100,000 in student loans. Gotta love those rocks." Doctoral student Brent Solomon agreed that the excitement of finding all those interesting rocks is much more important then finding attractive Martian women. "Despite what my colleagues in the Internet Extra Terrestrial Consortium say, we were never looking for that 'lost ark' of beautiful, voluptuous, uncorrupted space women who have never seen a man or could identify who might be nerdy and unattractive by Earth standards. Now, if we just happened to stumble across them by chance, and they would teach us how to use a wormhole to take three or four of my buddies there, then fine. But it's not really a big deal." Mayer stressed that despite the major anomalies involved with the current mission, he still plans on holding off on any marriage plans until the Mars Odyssey checks out what's past a large mound of dirt a few meters away from the rover. "I'm sure they're there. I mean it doesn't really matter. But if that damn camera would just turn about 45 degrees I'm sure it would find some primitive tools or perhaps a discarded loincloth. It's there, I just know it." source: bobfromaccounting

lay some transatlantic cable

and why don't people with small tv's just buy a big parabolic mirror and project it?
-
I guess if you were hovering at the focus of one mirror and were looking at the other you would see yourself upside down? It's like that silly optical illusion toy of two mirrors, one with a hole cut out to project the focus up.

Here's something funny. "personal injury"? did someone choke on a chip or something?

It seems like white lies are frequently used to distill down complicated political situations to explain them to and gain general support from the public. Perhaps this is a reality of being the president. This particular one was less white than past ones, in my opinion. PP, no matter what article you post here, I don't think you can deny the Bush administration painted a portait of panic when it comes to WMD development in Iraq. Since I am an American, and I was swayed to be concerned about a real threat in Iraq, I'd say the damage was done no matter the tedious syntax you try to explain exaggerations away with now.

tele bindings, at least the older ones, seem generally easier to repair in the field. "repair kits" for AT bindings usually involve hauling in replacement plastic toe pieces, etc.

I want to know how someone managed to roll at subaru outback on the 405 bridge yesterday afternoon.

you call steely dan soulless and crappy and then proceed with morphine recommendations? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Though I like a few morphine tunes. The Dan rocks once you look past the radio hits
-
heh, well that explains that I guess
-
I love this thread already. If you do go for the D.O. be sure to yell out proudly "dutch oven!" when deployed.
-
above all else, if you do pitch over (and you will at some point) do not let the skin fall in the snow
-
first pitch of gendarme on stuart could be .8 but the second is definitely .9 in my book little wing (beacon rock) .8 classic crack (broughton's) .9 developing forearms (tieton) .9 orange sunshine (tieton) .10a license to bolt (smith) .11b

rest, ice, compresion, and elevation ( ) Dru and you should be okay in a few days.

nobody messes with cbs' abacus. nobody.

yeah but it doesn't have the abrasion resistance that honkin belay loop has. Some people extend their belay devices that way when rappeling to get increased manuverability and a bit of extra friction, esp. when doing a pickoff or something similar.

I prefer a wall clock with some chain link attached to it. I make the face backwards like flavor flav so I can just look down and see what time it is. around 1:00pm I like to chill, 2ish? I go right into keeping it real.
-
I kindof like putting the biner through leg loop and waist loop when big lead whippers are a possibility since there is often slack in the rope when belaying a lead so the biner kindof flops around on the belay loop and could be loaded across the gate. your mileage may vary. maybe my concern is unfounded.

if it is a cold night perhaps a dutch oven could represent your ability and desire to provide warmth and shelter to her. that might be your in.

ah found it, 25.1. time to get me some bunless whoppers!
