Aww. He's back to his dull old plain-glasses. :wink: Except for his non-canonical moment of merriment on "casual day"... (and I see who it was that illustrated this "narrow but intense" bit of exuberance). ;) http://toothandclaw.keenspace.com/d/20020627.html ...The Faceless One does prefer to be in...

I am also in favor of this.

I was just saying that it might be possible, not that it was probable. My main point was that the problem might be on Earth's side of the communications loop, not the probe's. I understood. We keep a surprisingly good eye on our local star -- or at least the said facing the Earth. Here's a real-tim...

Hmm... Light takes 8 minutes to go from the sun to Earth. If I recall rightly, charged particles in solar wind move about 1/3 the speed of light. So you have something like 15 minutes between seeing a flare and "buttoning down for the storm". Since the probe is already almost to Jupiter, which is 5...

It is because you can't Dodge LaserBeams.

(Sorry) If it is He Who Has No Face, then he's a boss and so clearly cannot be a "minion". So, what's the opposite of a faceless minion? A faceless maxion, or so it seemed to me. ;) I guess this is obvious to everyone else, but it took me a while to recognize that the couple that Tristan photographe...

The image that has Barb's attention is a solar prominence, a blast of highly charged sun material that tends to stream along the lines of the Sun's powerful magnetic field. The images on her display are likely much larger than the Earth. It was only learned in the past three decades that the Sun's t...

Ah, well... the 'Noble Female' is as old as literature. Well, I am pretty old, myself. I tried today to explain a bit about my particular view of this topic. Amusingly, I've created a club that would not have me as a member. ;) Noble Webcomic Females: http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal...

Hello everyone! Welcome, Daniel! Glad you could juggle a bit of time for this. But you're good at that sort of thing, no? ;) Mr. Kellogg is quite the storyteller, and as you have seen there is a very compelling realism to the tales, interspersed with musical comic relief to keep us on our toes. The...

Most peculiar, Mama!

It seems that the posting irregularities extend to other boards using the same software, as though an update sent out for PHP boards was, ah, not quite ready for prime time.

It isn't that I'm reading other stuff; I've read some Shakespeare (Decades? Long enough...) It's been a year that "clicked" for me somehow. And it seems easy; no sweat from my brow. Some things I cannot do, or don't do quick! I'd draw a stick-man much more like a stick. ;) Creative writing skills I ...

Good work :) Wish I had as much free time as you do :roll: Thank you, Sheepdog. Regarding your "free time" comment; that's particularly amusing to me, given my schedule. Once you get used to writing that way, it actually doesn't take very long. And as you and I are both new appearances on the Freef...

Very nice work indeed LH, talk about making a fine entry to the forum! Have you noticed that Rob has linked this thread to the AF home page? Coolness

Thank you. Yes, I saw that -- I am honored!

Wow. Impressive and thorough! "I Have A Dream," but not that Yankee bloke's. And would be perfect but for this. MLK Jr. wasn't a Yank. He was from Georgia. Oho! First reaction: From the standpoint of the British, all Americans are Yanks. Second reaction. Yowch! ALEX is NOT British! Thank you for th...

Here's McGonagall's poem . She does indeed strike the match, but unfortunately doesn't get the chance to revenge herself on the society that simultaneously rejected and wrote cloying poems about her. It's still an excellent bit of Victorian melodrama. But a rather tenuous link. Oh well. Being old f...

Is there any significance to the number 200 ASA? I have an idea that half the jokes in AF fly right over my uneducated little middle-schooler head, but that only makes it more interesting, really. 200 ASA is a film speed, appropriate for more or less medium lighting and target speed conditions. Gen...

...And as for confusion, I think not, actually. We've lived with anthropomorphized animals since Steamboat Willy in what, 1932? Indeed. And the Egyptians made their gods as anthropomorphic animals--"therianthropic" is the correct term for this I believe--going back 5k years or so. The concept seems...

(Comment: Greetings! I know several folks here from elsewhere, including the inestimable Mako -- who just reminded me that Albion Fuzz has a forum . Ah, well, yes. So, I threw together a poetic tribute, along the lines of a cast/story recap. Let me know what you think!) ----------------------------...

This from one of the most ruthlessly self-analytical people I've ever known? Tsk! Well, he didn't say it couldn't be done, just that it is harder. Advice to others is cheap enough. I'm full of it, or so I've been told. ;) It is easy to look at another's situation and instantly see (or think you see...

I can't tell the difference between the various models of civilian aircraft. My world was painted grey for too long. P3's I could sort out, and various cargo and fighters too, but not Boings and such... And I was not able to tell the model of the Russian transport in the Mojave airport photo. High ...
