To the moon, troll, to the moon!

[CHR]

During the cold war, JFK claimed to have gone to the moon. He got congress to spend billions on his moon landing and pretended america landed there, convincing congress to give him billions, the fakeness of the landing is well documented.

It seems to me that this liberal moneybags, that he took these billions for personal use, or maybe gave them to the USSR (we all know he was soft on communism)

Perhaps his death was similarly staged in order to keep his billions or keep congress of his case.

I wonder if under an obama administration we will see more moon landings.

They’ll be threatened with Serious Bodily Harm and Bible Recitation.

Not the Bible Recitation!?! How could you even think such a thing...?

[Tax-chick]

Ghastly, isn’t it? They can call Social Services, “Mom made us sit in chairs and listen to her repeat psalms in English AND Spanish!”

[sionnsar]

Oh. Well that's not so bad then if it's only English and Spanish. It's not as if you gave it to them in Gaelic (Na Sailm Gaidhlaige):

1 Is e Dia fèin a's buachaill dhomh,
cha bhi mi ann an dìth.
2 Bheir e fa'near gu'n luidhinn aios
air cluainibh glas' le sith
Is fòs ri taobh nan aimnichean
thèid seachad sios gu mall,
A ta e ga mo threòchrachadh,
gu min rèidh anns gach ball.

3 Tha 'g aisig m'anam' dhomh aìr ais:
's a' treòrachadh mo cheum
Air slighibh glan' na fireantachd,
air sgàth 'dheadh ainme fèin.
4 Seadh fòs ged ghluaisinn eadhon trìd
ghlinn dorcha sgàil' a' bhàis,
Aon olc no urchuid a theachd orm
ni h-eagal leam 's ni 'n càs;

5 Air son gu bheil thu leam a ghnàth,
do lorg, 's do bhata treun,
Tha iad a' tabhairt comhfhurtachd
is fuasglaidh dhomh a'm' fheum.
6 Dhomh dheasaich, bord air beul mo nàmh:
le h-oladh dh'ung mo cheann;
Cur thairis tha mo chupan fòs,
aig meud an làin a t'ann.

7 Ach leanaidh maith is tròcair rium,
an cian a bhios mi beò:
Is còmhnuicheam an àros Dè,
ri fad mo rè 's mo lò.

[fanfan]

You’ll get it done.

[Tax-chick]

That sure is a glarby-looking language.

"I meant that Wednesday will sit next to me and read Tacitus, if nothing better offers."

See if you can interest her in Beverly Cleary's "The Mouse and the Motorcycle". It's a good read.

[sionnsar]

Yup. Second one done. All but one of these are new versions of documents I’ve been through before, ~80 pages or so.

[fanfan]

There’s got to be a better way...

[sionnsar]

Well, the orthography is quite different from English — it’s quite precise in capturing the phonetics, but the rules are relatively simple.

[sionnsar]

There is: I have marked-up copies but I don't entirely trust them because they haven't given the baseline for markup and some of these have been through several changes since I last reviewed them. It's just best I look at the about-to-be-published versions and compare against my report from the last time I reviewed these.

I'll easily finish all the rest of the re-reviews tomorrow, and probably the review of one just put out for public review too.

[sionnsar]

So do you have snow yet? The weather here has been unusually warm the last few days.

[sionnsar]

Guess that stopped things.

[NicknamedBob]

Maybe they have snew.

[fanfan]

We have grief.

Here

:-(

[sionnsar]

Ugh. I am sorry.

[Monkey Face]

Life is good. And I’m going to bed. Y’all be good, now!
See you tomorrow!

[sionnsar]

G’night.

[NicknamedBob]

Must every world in the Galaxy be infested with termites?

N = N* fp ne fl fi fc fL

This is the Drake Equation. The L term at the end refers to the length of time a civilization remains able to communicate to another possible civilization.

We're running out of time.

[sionnsar]

We're running out of time.

NnBob, could you pick up some more, please, next time you're by the supermarket? Gotta keep the spices replenished.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I grew up in the city, and I still hate socks and shoes...LOL...
