A poem

'I'm bringing $20, and my Visa."

Where-when would you use the Visa?

Much better to start with some nondescript gold coins, and a stack of parchment forms.

Pick a nice bank and make a deposit, then come back in fifty years saying, "My grandparent wants to close out the account. Here is the authorization. You can see that the signatures match."

After you've done this a few dozen times, you can buy anything you want.

You don't need money where I'll be in 50 years.

stupid women suffer from that, not smart ones - but maybe some lads mistakenly think that!

I do know some smart women who are high maintenance.

[tuliptree76]

Thanks.

[tuliptree76]

I missed you again. Good night, IT.

[tuliptree76]

Thanks, fanfan.

[tuliptree76]

Well, it did move for a while when I was gone.

That kitty doesn't look too happy.

That kitty doesn't look too happy.

Would you be if your pothead owner said to all of his friends, "Hey, dude...What if we put a tin foil helmet on my cat and take a picture of it? That would be SWEET!"

[tuliptree76]

I wouldn't be.

"You don't need money where I'll be in 50 years."

I thought we were speaking of time-travel.

"You're not thinking four-dimensionally, Marty!"

You be careful out there!

Been reading here.

No astronaut wants to encounter a swarm of high-energy solar protons. Severe storms are literally sickening; exposure causes vomiting, fatigue and low blood counts. Without medical attention, an astronaut suffering from radiation sickness could die. Now for the good news: few solar protons are able to penetrate the hulls of NASA spaceships. As long as astronauts stay inside, they're safe.

Cosmic rays are different—and worse. Cosmic rays are super-charged subatomic particles coming mainly from outside our solar system. Sources include exploding stars, black holes and other characters that dwarf the sun in violence. Unlike solar protons, which are relatively easy to stop with materials such as aluminum or plastic, cosmic rays cannot be completely stopped by any known shielding technology.

Even inside their ships, astronauts are exposed to a slow drizzle of cosmic rays coming right through the hull. The particles penetrate flesh, damaging tissue at the microscopic level. One possible side-effect is broken DNA, which can, over the course of time, cause cancer, cataracts and other maladies.

[Das Outsider]

I wouldn't be.

Well then let me get you some foil.

[tuliptree76]

Thanks. But I think I'll take my chances without it.

Ok....But if you become a slave to the alien-government-industrial-military complex, don't say that I didn't warn you.

My thoughts are pretty boring. They'll fall asleep listening to me.

Note my tagline.

[fanfan]

You are right, doc, but I have 4 ripe bananas for the suped up Delorean.

Oh, and some clumped kitty litter.

Replace "tax" with "plant" and you'll see why I have so much creative energy on FR.

The aliens tried; they failed, they went elsewhere.

[tuliptree76]

You read books about plants?

00?
