Good night everyone! Here's a nice night light. It's the Shoemaker-Levy 9 Comet (Fragment A) impacting Jupiter on July 16th, 1994, as seen by the Infrared Facility Telescope (IRTF) in Hawaii.

Now we probably have millions of them.

I wouldn't be surprised. Did you know that an Armadillo has one fertilized egg that splits into two...then those two split into two? Thus you have 4 baby dillos that are exact copies.

'Floida' = 'Florida'. Getting late!

I just had a discussion with JohnRob, who is busy putting all of the archives into a SQL database. He says that FR has had over 500,000 threads, and 'It looks like there have been about 17-18 million comments posted on Free Republic since its inception.'

I guess that we have a way to go before we overload the forum, but based on those numbers, the average thread has about 35 comments. I guess that makes us Hobbits 'above average', but we knew that already!

So you don't wear a lab coat at work, Overtaxed?

Yes, but they're only knee-length. And if you're wearing a lab coat, who's going to notice a fancy shirt?

I hadn't seen a movie in a theater in something like 14 years.

So how on earth did you manage to see TLOTHR: TFOTR? ; ')

Good morning guys.

Speaking of hurricanes, I'm going check the tropical forecast as I notice that, uncharacteristically for August here, it's been blowing the last couple of days. Though I'm sure that if something was brewing here, I'd have heard.

Good Morning!

Hopefully they will take it all there, and let things cool down on the news forum.

I skip over posts from flamers.

Perhaps the El Nino we are supposed to be having can end the drought in the Southeast.

I seem to remember that El Ninos are supposed to cause wetter than normal winters in the South.

Is that El Nino or El Nina that causes rain?...I can't keep them straight...personally, I don't think they make that much difference...just buzzwords for the weatherdudes...
