A sadder fact, still,
that accepting that wholesale

Pluto's planethood
doesn't bother it at all
'cuz it has Charon.

Charon must have good taste in cold dwarfs.

From Jet's "sad facts" link I learned that a blue whale can blow up 2000 balloons with one breath!

Inviting it to a birthday party would make it a whale of a party.

You gave me a funny pun for breakfast. Yum.

Some kielbasa to break fast,

my appetites mislead me.

My breakfast taste leans more for kielbasi with scrambled eggs than any sweet stuff...except a kiss.

Since it's nearly Spring, I would prefer to call it a Full Worm Moon to celebrate the reappearance of worms and the return of the robins Full Moon Names and Their Meanings | Farmers Almanac

But Full Sap Moon is another name:

Sap Moon to present largest Full Moon of 2011, says Norwood astronomer

Wednesday, March 9, 2011 - 2:15 pm
By BRUCE McCLURE

The Full Moon falling on March 19 ushers in the third Full Moon after the December 21 solstice, and it will be a big one.

In North America, we commonly call this Full Moon the Sap Moon, Crow Moon or Worm Moon. This year, the March Full Moon gives us the closest and largest Full Moon of 2011.

This upcoming Full Moon will coincide with lunar perigee, the Moon's closest approach to Earth for the month. At perigee on March 19, the Moon will be a little more than 222,000 miles away. Contrast this to lunar apogee, the Moon's farthest distance, on March 6, when it was over 252,000 miles distant.

As a rule of thumb, the year's closest perigee takes place on the one day of the year that the Full Moon and perigee align. March 19 won't only feature the closest Full Moon of the year, but the Moon at its nearest for all of 2011.

Closest Full Moons recur in cycles of 14 lunar months. That's because 14 returns to Full Moon almost exactly equal 15 returns to perigee. The lunar month refers to the period of time between successive Full Moons: 29.53059 days. The anomalistic month is the period between successive perigees: 27.55455 days. Hence:

14 x 29.53059 = 413.428 days 15 x 27.55455 = 413.318 days

This period of time is about equal to 1 year 1 month and 18 days. In 2012, the closest Full Moon will occur on May 5.

Enjoy the Sap Moon, the closest and largest Full Moon of 2011, as it lights up the nighttime from dusk till dawn.

The light of the moon,
seeming manna from heaven,
can make us like birds.

When the implants become free,
I guess requirements to possess them
we'll have long since not questioned.

the longest operation in the world?

From February 04 - 08 1951 Gertrude Levandowski underwent surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. The world's longest operation lasted 96 hours.

Gertrude Levandowski went from a scale tipping 616 pounds to manageable 308 pounds, losing 1/2 her body weight after the cyst was removed.

(I find it hard to believe it was exactly half her weight. It was 308 and not 309 or 307?)

Well, finally back home, after 2 weeks volly relief work in NZ.


Meh, no one missed me any ways....

We missed you Zooks. You're such a helpful, thoughtful, creative guy.... Please help while uncle phil and auntie phil are away - click here

You see how numbers suffered.
I take it the volly relief work
was on the South Island?

(2x4.5)-1=8 or, by the complex interrelationships of tlte/tfz/tfp = (-358)

I'm only coming up with nine rhymes with wine and vine and mine and fine and dine as well as line and pine. A "zine" has that "eeee" sound, so not the longest "i" sound.

That would be correct, OCM.

I was in Christchurch,
1977.
A beautiful place.

(2x4)-5-2=1

I was an altar boy for over 5 years if that counts for anything. Fortunately for the church, I never developed a taste for altar wine though I got a liking for incense. And fortunately for me, I never ran into an abusive priest.

Wouldn't you run away from a one?

Religious humor ran past
& laid me out laughing on the floor,
like over-incensed of-the-cloths.

On the other hand, there was another older altar boy who was a real nasty bully. Luckily, a couple years later he was pulling his shit again but failed to notice I was now as big as he was and I commenced to kick his ass with great satisfaction. I never pick a fight but he deserved it.

((2x4)-5)x2=6

We all deserve it,
temptations of faith aside,
& assholery.

//A rabbi & a priest are in a car accident. Both escape without a scratch, though the cars are totalled. They agree it's miraculous. "Even more miraculous," says the rabbi, "is this unbroken bottle of kosher wine in my boot." He opens the wine & passes it to the priest, who takes a few swigs. The rabbi then throws the bottle away. "You're not having any?" the priest asks. "Nah, I'll wait until the police come," the rabbi answers.//

I have a friend in NZ, but haven't been able to find her in years. :(

You drive a hard bargain, OCM.

That's only eight rhymes. To come up with nine, You must add in "tine." Add a tine, forktunately, half of a tuning fork, if you know the forking tune.

This thread reminds me of the sermon in church last Sunday. Like the peace of God, it passes all understanding.:confused: And like His mercy, it seems to go on forever.

Lindy

Referring to sermons, too,
needs to be as well considered as.
You can read between the lines.

& seriously,
we're having many bits of trouble
maintaining many numbers.

((2x(4+5))/2=9

245 and then that "30" is my lucky number!

My lucky number's
come in over & over.
I never had it...

(2x4)/(5+3)=1

...except for five times
already this dismal year
& way related.

Hard bargain, indeed,
that can leave the thread hanging
for almost a day!

2+4-5-3=-2

2.4x5/3=4

Graphic evidence
my faith isn't too misplaced
since it's the species'.

thanks, BadNick!

In spite of how mine behave sometimes, I think they have good hearts. Maybe the wires from the heart to the brain get adversely effected by external radiation sources, like solar flares.

The heart & the brain
had some lunch through the stomach
& agreed on things.

((2x4)-5)+3=6

For lunch today I'm having an Italian chicken cutlet sandwich with sharp provolone, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers, from Altomonte's Italian Market. Of course I have a picture:

Nice presentation
of the colors & textures
& flavors that sing.

a couple very cute, friendly Italian girls work there, too

Bonus eye candy
adds to the experience,
& it's tastier.

2x4x.5=4+0

The Italian mythological Sirens are a symphony to my ears, too, since they speak with a cute Italian accent.

Multi-sensory
experiences provide
more stimulation

Spring is sprung. Happy Spring!

Hi all. I love you.
(Yes. This, too, means I hate them.)

- - -

(Peace, love, and whenever you can find the time, vengeance.)

Sorry, I don't have time for bad feelings. I bet this will be a great Spring and Summer, in spite of the predicted snow flurry tomorrow.

Vengeance is mine, says the Lord,
& the peace surpassing understanding,
sometimes using the weather.

...Happy Birthday to my daughter!

Happy Birthday to one of your dearest!!!

I shall have several toasts to her health and happiness.

Btw, love you, too! :hearts:

Happiness is contentedness with what you have, at peace with what you cannot possess, and kind in mind with the things worth waiting for... (/my compiled starting thoughts from overlooking at the picture above.)

You're a wise man, Jetée.

I just ate a bag of an interesting new junk food I found. I liked the taste, sort of like Cheetos made from peas (credit for that description goes to Katie Carpenter) and the nutritional facts make it seem not as bad as a lot of other stuff I eat. In in few minutes I'm also posting it in the "what you're eating now" thread.

So this stuff is Snapea Crisps made by Calbee Calbee America They are baked, and the ingredients don't sound bad for a lightly salted snack: green peas, corn oil, rice, salt, calcium carbonate, ascorbic acid. As mentioned on the packaging, I bet they could taste good in a salad or with some kind of dip. They also make Veggie Mix Crunches which I'll try soon. Here's the Snapea Crisps:

I just got done eating (meaning: about ~4 hours ago) baby carrot sticks as my after-dinner cleanser. Yes.

You may not notice the similarities, but I just can't help in seeing everything is inter-connected (even the ominous things).

I also may have just watched my first ever episode of Wings (I thought it was a sitcom about about the Air Force?).

Very errie at how very similar Tony Shalhoub's bleak outlook on life is to the point, exactly concurrent with my own (despite my knowing that near every character he's ever portrayed is over-the-top foreign, false, and disbelieving -- not unlike myself, too).

her pointy tits ...errr I mean she's pointing out clock tips for daylight savings time?

I was longing for something so I came back here.

(24x.5)-5=7

Pretend the wrong ears,
they will come back & screw you;
the joy comes within.

My ears are about normal, but my nose, while not the longest, is above average.

2x4.5x.5=9

A distinctive nose
I like above a few things
including armpits.

my brain enjoys processing smells so I'm thankful for my schnowzer


While not the longest, how about the coldest?:

Since the coldest stars
shine to negative degrees
bigger's still better.

closer to home, turtles are some of the longest living creatures but sadly, their feeding instincts are being poisoned by human trash ...fucking litter bugs!!!

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...le_plastic.jpg

Joining the Laysan albatross as icons of ocean plastic pollution are sea turtles, which consume bellyfuls of debris while swimming through Earth’s five great ocean garbage patches.

Pictured above are the stomach contents of a juvenile sea turtle accidentally captured off the coast of Argentina. The image echoes famous photographs taken by Chris Jordan and Susan Middleton of decomposing albatrosses on the island of Midway.

Can't look at a sea turtle without thinking Discworld. A mental association that can never be undone.

(Totally unsure what to post at this point in a thread. Ah well.)

Be just & fear not!
This thread's pretending counting,
& wants a lot more.

It looked to me like last night and early this morning the moon was smiling at me with a bit of a sarcastic smile.

That the moon does that,
as if it has intentions,
is kind of spooky.

The echoing emptiness
after the guests have left the party
seems a lot louder somehow.

you're a poet and I suspect you know it

Guess what else I know?
If it's not a fair question,
I shouldn't ask it.

...I've been a slow learner.

I'm not really counting yet, but there are only 589 days left! I wonder if our friend, Zooks, is planning to personally witness this?

-- to note: I really like this page (you guys, our aim, knowledge.)

I'll get caught up, and then seek to share whatever happens to be relevant in what I have come to accumulate in my sea of surfing as well (on the topic of turtles).

And... to round this out in threes, I'll say, hello, and good graces.

“When I set out following these toys, I didn’t expect it to turn into an
environmental story but I very quickly learned … that unlike the flotsam
of ages past, the flotsam of today — much of it plastic — persists. It lasts
visibly for decades and chemically for centuries because it doesn’t biodegrade.”

Are you my polar opposite?

Ending up on the same day
whichever hemisphere you're using
is a very good thing, right?

re: So long as you are not time-travelling, I don't see why it might hurt.

Its, not it's. I hate it when I make that mistake.

I'm good with that one, ring. Whose and who's is another one. I just remember that the ' means you leave something out and then it makes sense to me and makes me think of possessive, contractions, babies being born, etc.

ring, we missed you for the longest time!

kind of a tilted pallindrome: 2 and 4 + 5 = 9 then we have 9 and 2

Lofting all the balls

Some must stay grounded.

I can't do such things

Ocm Jay and I were talking about how we miss hanging out wih you!

Happy to hear that.
It tells me a lot of things
I've wondered about.

...all extrapolated, of course.

Well pop on over to take 3 and say hello!
