My features
might misrepresent
my being.

Nonetheless,
I will say what I mean:
in echoes.

Sleep=pleasure

true ...I'm going to sleep since it's already tomorrow.

No no no no it's today.

Morning sunshine! :wave:

it's early. today will be a good day I hope!

It's cloudy.

sunny and 28 degrees F

We have less than 200 posts 'till 13000

Heyoooooooo

Nice echo.

The first song I ever heard by Atmosphere, and also my absolute favorite.....

He's got nice towels so I hear.

Nice towels and tile.

Nice towels. I find it's quite subjective. Sometimes people like towels that I can't stand. For instance: bath sheets. I feel lost in them. I'd rather use a small hand towel than a bath sheet.

Some people like them dried out on the clothes-line..
a bit stiff and scratchy....smelling like the out-of-doors...

others like them softened and scented by chemicals and dried inside an appliance.

Still others prefer to leave them wadded in piles until mold devours their pristine form.

And still others like to air dry.

ahhh, a Santa Ana body drier sounds so soothing.

although it's a little chilly for that this morning... and I thought winter was over. It's 66 right now and supposed to be 58 tonight!

28 F

I might have to have another tooth pulled.

Feels like: 68F
UV Index: 0 Low
Wind: From WNW at 10 mph
Humidity: 36%
Pressure: 30.02 in.
Dew Point: 41°F
Visibility: 10.0 miles

Wish I had a pilots license...sounds like a good day to fly.

Or a good day to sit in an office for 10 hours....

I will be in the dentist chair....

Wanna trade?

I'm going to the dentist tomorrow :) I don't mind. They have all sorts of goodies for the pain. There's no nitrous oxide at work. :(

I don't need no stinkin pain killers, when the dentist starts drilling I just think of chirping birdies and flowers :) ...not. ring, tell them your body chemistry needs more than the average dose, that's what I always do; he comes near me, I cringe, he gives me more.

It's mid 50F'ish here today, creeping a tad higher tomorrow, will dip to 40F or a degree or two lower both nights, then 65F Wed, 72F Thurs., clear all week. Looks like I'll be putting more miles on my non-daily driving, nice-day-fun car.

I want to get in the car and drive...drive drive drive...

right now....to my spidy.

In my frustration with the moths flying around in my house, I hung some poison bug strips. But I sure hope this does not adversely effect my spidies.

They'll be okay.

Get in the car and drive!

Sleep escaped me last night.

Sleep my beauties...sleep.

My Bussard is almost finished....
then I'm outta here.

ring,
That looks like it will be a fun ride. But if you really want to get anywhere other than around the block in the immediate neighborhood, you'll either have to move a LOT LOT faster than the speed of light, or find some way of getting from "here" to "there" without travelling thru the space between here and there. So I've been working on this multi-inter-universal travel widget and I'm getting closer to a working solution each day. I figure if I get half way to the solution each day, then I only have half the way to go the next day.

Since we were just talking about bugs, I'm happy to report that it has to do with worms ...actually wormholes. Some mundane points about this concept might interest even the casual space traveller: empty space, when examined with quantum theory on a sufficiently small distance scale, is not empty at all. Even at nuclear dimensions (10-13 cm) empty space is filled with particle-antiparticle pairs that are continually flashing into a brief existence, bankrolled on the credit of borrowed mass-energy, only to wink out of existence again as the law of conservation of energy reasserts itself. Didn't Al Gore invent the law of conservation of energy?...Wink Wink. If the length-scale is contracted to a size appropriate to quantum gravity (10-33 cm) this quantum fireworks intensifies to a "quantum foam" of violent fluctuations in the topology and geometry of space itself. Some of you may be familiar with the foam pit at your local club, but this foam is different. Quantum black holes form and vanish in a span of time of 10-23 seconds; highly curved (doesn't that sound sexy?) and convoluted regions of space in any physically allowed configuration have a similarly brief existence. In this environment Morris, Thorne, and Yurtsever speculate, it may be possible for a civilization considerably more advanced than ours, but not necassarily any smarter than most of the members of this "The Longest Thread", by "pulling a wormhole out of the quantum foam and enlarging it to classical size" to create a connection between two nearby points in space. This would use the well-known quantum mechanical process called "tunneling", a jump from one allowed energy state to another across a barrier of intermediate states that are forbidden by energy conservation.

Have a nice trip.

Hey Nick...

That post would've been very helpful in the longevity of this, the self-professed longest thread, if you'd done one word per post on that last one.

ahhh, you are correct again, jewels. I'll have to make up for the lost space.

yes, you absolutely must :D

Gray-holes are easier to navigate than even the smallest singularities.

Think of it in a somewhat political vein...

It will be my bi-partisan ship.

In that case, I'll vote for you. May I make a contribution to your election campaign? Seeing how I gave myself this stupid name "BadNick" I might be particularly suitable for the Vice Secretary position in your cabinet ...or closet, if you prefer.

How many politicians can you fit on a bi-partisan ship?

I need my cabinet minister.....to minister...something..
before I can think about that...

Tee hee we could play "name that bottle" !

or "spin that bottle": the pointee selects any bottle, takes a sip, spins that bottle, kisses the next pointee etc.
