Geography

[shaista]

Even though the sun is there why do the universe seems to be dark i.e. why there is no light in universe. After having asked this question how come the earth gets the light.

Sweetbreads are neither sweet nor breads.

Especially if they're yours.

[Slings and Arrows]

Why didn't you post that in haiku?

[dirtboy]

I dunno, but every day at work I put the "anal" into analyst...

[Shryke]

Well, they don't look the least bit like chickens either. Maybe dust emus, but not dust chickens...

ENOUGH of your ad hominem attacks! WHY do these threads ALWAYS plunge into the depths of emotional hell???

Just adding some drama.

Trust me, you wouldn't want mine.

Oh, quit erecting dust strawmen.

[Shryke]

Hah! We're discussing geography, and it's ourageous that you continually bring up chicken-flavored dust-bunnies, when I, in fact, originally brought them up.

[Bella_Bru]

Trust me, you wouldn't want mine.

I suddenly feel very disturbed.

Yeah, but you're the one trying to blame Bush for the fact that there is dust under the loveseat in the first place.

Hey, let's lighten up!
Shaista is probably
a kid. As I said,

this is a famous
question. Lots of adults have
a hard time with it.

Anyone can search
on Olbers' Paradox for
the full discussion.

This short answer is
clipped from the end of my long
post up in the thread:

"At last we have a solution to Olbers' Paradox. If the Universe has a finite age, it does not go on forever: we only see the light which has had time to reach us! Even if there were something physical "outside the universe", we couldn't see it because the light from it has not had enough time to reach us! If the universe is a finite age, it isn't "infinite in extent", and the first assumption of Olbers' Paradox fails."

Not oysters, sweetbreads.

Series answer: because you can't see the light until it smacks you in the face.

To do this, light either travels directly to your face from the sun, or bounces off of something, then smacks you. Out in the "universe", there is nothing for the light to bounce back from, and then smack you in the face, so it keeps going and you can't see it.

Because, the Earth sucks.

Oho! You brought up chicken-flavored dust-bunnies, huh? Well so did HITLER!!!!!

Godwin's Law? What's Godwin's Law?

[Bella_Bru]

I know the difference, but I am still disturbed.

[Shryke]

Bush for the fact that there is dust under the loveseat in the first place.

Quagmirish! Boondoggled! I only blamed Bush for chicken flavored dust, NOT the bunnies.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Moreover, who put the "Ram" in the "Ram-a lama ding-dong?"

Oh oh oh oh
I got a girl named Rama Lama, Rama Lama Ding Dong
She's everything to me
Rama Lama, Rama Lama Ding Dong
I'll never set her free
For she's mine, all mine
Oh oh oh oh
I got a girl named Rama Lama, Rama Lama Ding Dong,
She's fine to me,
Rama Lama, Rama Lama Ding Dong
You don't believe that she's mine, all mine
I love her,
Love her, love her so.
That I'll never, never let her go.
You may be certain she's mine, all mine,
She's mine all of the time.
Oh I got a girl named Rama Lama, Rama Lama Ding Dong
She's everything to me
Rama Lama, Rama Lama Ding Dong
I'll never set her free
For she's mine, all mine



I don't know but this is a very disturbed relationship

[Slings and Arrows]

IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!

Yeah, but PETA's mad at you either way.
