When you get hammered, all you get is nailed And a hangover.

So since any part of the universe could be considered "local" by it's inhabitants, none of the Universe is expanding? More like: The Laws of Physics are valid anywhere in the Universe, and the only "point" with "zero expansion" is a single point. The space between any two points is increasing, and the rate of expansion increases as the distance between the two points increases. So the "Space" between the Earth and the sun is in fact expanding. Or: You don't know shit. The universe does not have many inhabitants, or matter, or anything else but space. So, yes for the inhabitants, their local space is not expanding, but it is the distance between these local spaces that is increasing. To make your argument true, matter would also need to expand. Since the space just above earth would also be expanding, which would cause an increase in circumference just above earth, but the earth itself is not increasing (unless mater expands as well). Somewhere in there the expansion of space has to take into account matter, which what is considered 'local'. If I remember right, physicist consider 'local' to be the milky way galaxy, not just the solar system. I also know shit, he is a good friend of mine. Matter is, indeed, expanding. Or rather, the space between each teeny tiny particle is growing b/c each is moving away from the other.

When you are a hammer, all you see is what gets nailed.

If everything is expanding, then what we use to measure our speed of expansion is also expanding. So how do we know if things are really expanding?

If your shoes are already getting stinky, you can kill the bacterial growth in them and get a fresh start. Sounds yucky, but you can put them in a ZipLoc bag and put them in the freezer for a couple of days. Take them out, spray them with antibacterial spray (Lysol, foot spray, whatever) and put them out in the sun. UV rays kill off lots of bad stuff, so open the tongue of the shoes if possible and let the light shine in. Maintain with regular spray and occasional freeze treatments. Advice from your local OCD climber!

get yer ducks in a row, dammit.

You just read Big Bang from the dude who wrote The Code Book, didn't you? I have a degree in Physics, one in Math and I am a member of the American Astronomical Society. I don't read those quacky books other than for pure entertainment. You mean Quarky, right?

Of course upon I. Stratford upon Avon.

What's for Lunch?

after my own heart

Predictable Not the same as predicate

The super-string theory is nothing compared to the TOE

I'll be sure to wave to you while you are in the emergency room being treated for a head trauma.

Are you sure it's unchanged? You are only a potential until measured, so you'd better check.

ala carte ? ala tarte. Glass: please, for the love of gawd, come up with a new perversion of my name. This one is stale.

Prepositions: express relationships between other words, including relationships of time or space. Helpful trick--place the word before "the mountain" (over the mtn, by the mtn, to granny's house we go). Dangling participle (not modifier): participle placed in wrong part of sentence so it modifies wrong noun Predicate adjective: are often the same thing. The predicate is the part of the sentence that is not the subject (which usually includes adjectives). Now picture me as an evil teacher: whipping staff in hand and librarian glasses on nose. Get it right, young seeker of knowledge.

PMs (as I annoyingly mentioned above a couple of times)

Don't they know she works in "Receiving"?

His plan is to act like everything is OK, have many press conferences, enjoy travelling via Air Force 1, and then have a good retirement paid for by you and I. Yeah, and have education paid for by you and me.

Personally, I have never heard of a man actually pulling out when he promised he was going to. have you?

And then they charged her!

I think we can combine this with the "whats for lunch" thread...

thanx

I want to see more storage capability. Please.
