I agree @SteveInCo. Earth has comets/meteorids trailing us and preceeding us in its trip around the Sun as well as weaving in and around our orbit. I know that these objects may seem trivial but given that those who coined the term “clearing the neighbourhood) haven’t provided any figures for just what is a dominant object (and reasoning behind…[Read more]

Theism is way too broad for that kind of adjective. Asking if theism is evil is like asking if Americans are tidy…the answer is…some yes…some no…some sort of…some N/A…and so on. A theist believes in a God…nothing more. There are numerous types of theists and even within their various clans they can have wildly different…[Read more]

@SteveInCO A direct launch! It just makes everything even more outrageously shizzle-nizzle! This is one of those…off by a centimetre at the start…off by thousands of kilometers at the target?

I shouldn’t have skimped on reading about the launch. Time to read up on the entire mission…from planning to today. I wish I had a source other than a…[Read more]

Still waiting for that stunning high resolution image of one side of Pluto. In the mean time…here is a nifty little feature…a mountain with a moat around it…though I think they are using some poetic astronomer license on this description. It’s at the top left if you aren’t good at finding Waldo.

They have also discovered some cañons that…[Read more]

Sigh. Smiting was a lot of fun @Erock68la in the first four millenium, but to be honest for the last two I’m just kind of half winging it. Every time I blow the top off a volcano, whip up a hurricane or start some tsunami…it doesn’t wipe out an entire race or obliterate a city full of innocent children as it used to. Ever since my son was flayed…[Read more]

…and he ducks…and he dodges and he puts on his bullet proof vest. It seems absolutely nothing can penetrate his armour. What’s that? He has a cloak of invisibility? It seems like we are getting Harry Potter here now. Is it time to bring out the magic wands? But will that be enough? To be continued…

Well considering I’m God…yes…I get panick attacks all the time Reg. Unless my sheep are praying to me all the time, telling me how amazing and magnificent I am…I suffer from a brutally severe case of insecurity and fear of being forgotten. It’s so extreme I cannot even show my face to anyone. I’m left to take my long walks on the beach on…[Read more]

@everyone

To put all of this fundamentalist talk to rest and nit picking about biblical lines, the horrors of the Church and it’s past, child raping priests, woman hating, fag hating, slavery approving, light thought control, brutal thought policing religion with a God with impossible qualities who never shows up and says hi…

…these are not…[Read more]

A gorgeous shot of Charon.

How is this for incredible beautiful detail? Mountain ranges similar (at least in appearance) to those on Earth.
