Have you heard about the HBO series casting? Sean Bean as Ned Stark and Mark Addy as Robert Baratheon. Peter Dinklage signed on as Tyrion a while ago. - Comment on George W Bush - Homeless veteren looking for work (2009-05-29 09:39:28)
While Bush was in the Texas Air National Guard during Vietnam, he was also AWOL. - Comment on Pale Blue Dot (2009-05-06 16:32:10)
Thanks, HoChunk. I actually built my spreadsheet at work one day when I was bored. We'd just fabricated a 16' diameter globe out of aluminum, and I was curious how big the solar system would be around it. - Comment on Pale Blue Dot (2009-05-04 14:34:01)
Oops. I made a mistake. 19,436.39 miles would actually be a Light Year. The distance of Alpha Centauri would be 84,839.85 miles. If you made the orbit of Neptune fit inside Yankee Field (408' diameter), then: Sun - 3/4" diameter Alpha Centauri - 355 miles away from Sun - Comment on Pale Blue Dot (2009-05-04 14:24:50)
Since Pluto has an oval-shaped orbit, I took the mean orbital radius of its aphelion and perihelion orbits. With Earth the size of a golf ball: Pluto - 1/4" diameter; 64,068' away from Sun Alpha Centauri - 18'-6 3/8" diameter; 102,624,153' away from Sun (or 19,436.39 miles) - Comment on Pale Blue Dot (2009-05-04 09:40:05)
If the Earth was the still the size of a Golf Ball, then 4 billion miles would be equal to 13.68 miles. That is a picture of a golf ball from 13.68 miles away. - Comment on Pale Blue Dot (2009-05-04 09:34:58)
I've made a spreadsheet that calculates diameters and distances of our Solar Systems planets in different scales. I think it's very interesting, and makes it very easy to see exactly how big our Solar System is. For example, if the Earth was the size of a golf ball (1 11/16" diameter), our Solar System would look like this: Sun - 15' diameter Mercury - 5/8" diameter; 649' away from Sun Venus - 1 9/16" diameter; 1,136' away from Sun Earth - 1 11/16" diameter; 1,623' away from Sun Mars - 13/16" diameter; 2,435' away from Sun Jupiter - 1'6 13/16" diameter; 8,442' away from Sun Saturn - 1'3 13/16" diameter; 15,423' away from Sun Uranus - 6 3/4" diameter; 31,819' away from Sun Neptune - 6 1/2" diameter; 48,703' away from Sun This means that with a 15' diameter Sun, our Solar System would have a diameter of almost 18 1/2 miles.

As far as TV adaptations of a fantasy series go, I'll be willing to wait for Song of Ice & Fire than look up this Goodkind shit. - Comment on Super Realistic Dark Knight Joker Action Figures (2009-04-13 10:16:07)
Where do I get one? - Comment on Wolverine, drawn by Frank Miller (2009-03-20 10:56:57)
This series, along with his Hellfire Club rampage, is what started Wolverine on the popularity path he's been on for 20 years. - Comment on LA DR (2009-03-13 16:09:05)
@tiki god: I think you mean a Mobius Loop. A Morbius loop would have a Living Vampire fighting Spider-Man somewhere on it. - Comment on Unintentionally sexual comic book covers (2009-03-13 16:07:01)
I beg to differ. The thing about comic book artists is that they all know EXACTLY what they are drawing. The Silver Age Wonder Woman comics were basically syndicated news-stand S&M rags.
