It is what Scientology teaches as well. Pay $20,000 and find the "truth".

[hattend]

I was waiting for that...LOL!!!

[Strategerist]

Sort of proves my point from the big thread this morning, too.

It really saddens me that people find images like this disappointing.

[FReepaholic]

LOL!! OMG That's freaking hilarious!

[weegee]

YOW!

[Capitalism2003]

that probe better look out for this guy...

If you rotate this one 90 degrees counter clockwise I think it's Darth Vader's cousin.

No color photos? Just 10 hours of battery life? 3.3 billion ?

But 2.3 billion of that was for the extended warranty.

You can't get a boatwreck on another planet from a simple 3 hour tour.

That requires mistaking a "Launch" button for LUNCH.

So many of you have written in asking about "Far Out Space Nuts", it amazes me. After all, we only filmed 16 episodes in 1975. The show starred Chuck McCann and myself and was meant to be a Saturday morning show with live actors rather than a cartoon. Sometimes it was a little hard to tell the difference.

We had monsters from outer space on almost every show, and these monsters were played by some VERY good actors. One in particular stands out in my mind - John Carradine, an actor whose career spanned generations, a classic actor in every sense of the word. In our first scene together, he had a long speech and when he was finished, I just stood there, mesmerized. His pronunciation, his distinctive voice, his presence, the way the words came tripping off his tongue, left me speechless. On take two, I finally got my lines out and realized I was just a beginner, had a long way to go. I guess the old adage, "There are no small parts" is true.

John Carradine showed me that.

[ZULU]

You made my day!

[demlosers]

Again??....Rocks!

[Rudder]

NASA refers to them as "ice blocks."

[Bella_Bru]

LOL! That always cracks me up.

[brooklin]

It's because of the "solar system warming" caused by humans. The glaciers are retreating across the entire system. Oh, It's Bush's fault.

[plain talk]

I was thinking same thing. Rounded rocks mean liquid erosion to me but what do I know?

[mdittmar]

Ah ha!

That's where my theory comes in!

The Huygens probe did not land on Titan,but,by programing errors, on a uncharted desert isle!

To Art Bell,AP,Rooters,this is a FR exclusive.

[weegee]

There's an old storm trooper on that planet who never heard that the Star War was over and the Ewoks won.

If there was some footage of the rocks rolling downhill, I could ping the rock and roll list.
