    Fallstreak Hole cloud

    PHOTO_11823789_62973_19264627_main.jpg (416 KB)

    A fallstreak hole, also known as a hole punch cloud, punch hole cloud, canal cloud or cloud hole, is a large circular gap that can appear in cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water has not frozen yet due to the lack of ice nucleation particles. When a portion of the water does start to freeze it will set off a domino effect, due to the Bergeron process, causing the water vapor around it to freeze and fall to the earth as well. This leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud.

    Early Bird Gets the Worm – Stereoscopy

    Early_bird_stereograph.jpg (54 KB)

    Stereoscopy refers to a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by presenting two offset images separately to the left and right eye of the viewer. Both of these 2-D offset images are then combined in the brain to give the perception of 3-D depth.

    To see the image in “3D” you stare into the screen so that your eyes are aimed (more or less) parallel. As you stare into the screen you will get double vision as each eye sees the L & R images separately. When you are staring in at the right distance the middle two images will overlap and become 3D. The outer two images will remain and will still be 2D.

    The Perfect Husband

    Several men are in the locker room of a golf club when a cellular phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

    MAN: “Hello!”

    WOMAN: “Hi Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”

    MAN: “Yes.”

    WOMAN: “I’m at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It’s only $2,000; is it OK if I buy it?”

    MAN: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.”

    WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked.”

    MAN: “How much?”

    WOMAN: “$90,000.”

    MAN: “OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.”

    WOMAN: “Great! Oh, and one more thing. I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They’re asking $980,000 for it.”

    MAN: “Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They’ll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it’s what you really want.”

    WOMAN: “OK. I’ll see you later! I love you so much!”

    MAN: “Bye! I love you, too.”

    The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open.

    He turns and asks, “Anyone know whose phone this is?”

    To de Queen fans:
    “Hanny van Arkel, who discovered it, is not an astronomer. But she was reading a blog entry by Brian May, who is the guitarist for Queen as well as an astronomer. He had written about Galaxy Zoo, a project where you can classify galaxies on your computer. Being a Queen fan, Hanny checked it out, and started looking at galaxies… which is how she found this weird green smear of light. She asked about it, and astronomers took interest… and the result is this amazing Hubble image of a very odd object.”

    Frosted Leaf Orion

    leaforion_miyasaka_big.jpg (1 MB)

    antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap101117.html

    Captured above Japan earlier this month, a picturesque night sky was photographed behind a picturesque frosted leaf. The reflecting ice crystals on the leaf coolly mimic the shining stars far in the background. On the far left, although hard to find, appears a streaking meteor. Below and to the right of the meteor appears a longer and brighter streak of an airplane. The bright star on the left is the dog-star Sirius, the brightest star on the night sky. To Sirius’ right appears the constellation of Orion, including the three linear belt stars below the red giant Betelgeuse. The bright patch of light further to the right is the Pleiades open star cluster. Similar views including the constellation Orion can be seen above much of the northern hemisphere for the next several months, although you might have to provide your own leaf.

    Twice Married

    Two newlyweds go on their honeymoon. As they start getting hot and heavy, the woman says, “Please be careful with me—I’m a virgin.”

    The puzzled man replies, “But you’ve been married three times before.”

    “I know,” she says. “But my first husband was a psychiatrist and all he wanted to do was talk about it. My second husband was a gynecologist and he just wanted to look at it. And my third husband was a stamp collector and all he wanted to do was… God, I miss him.”

    saving the secret formulas

    A fire starts inside a chemical plant and the alarm goes out to fire departments miles around. After crews have been fighting the fire for over an hour, the chemical company president approached the fire chief and said, “All of our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved! I will give $100,000 to the engine company that brings them out safely!”

    The crews try, but no one can get through. Then another fire truck, filled with a volunteer fire company of men over 65, comes roaring down the road and drives straight into the middle of the inferno. The other men watch unbelieving as the old timers hop off of their rig and heroically extinguish the fire, saving the secret formulas.

    The company president walks over to reward the volunteers.

    “What do you guys plan to do with the money?” the president asks the group.

    The firetruck driver looks him right in the eye and answers, “Well, the first thing we’re going to do is fix the fucking brakes on that truck.”

    2011 is shitty so far, how’s your year?

    Well, I’m broke, and no one’s signed up for MCS+ in like…5 months, so I’m thinking about doing away with it completely, or not so completely, but reduce the price and change what you get with it.

    Anyways, I’m having peanut butter and rice for dinner tonight, cause my stupid cat broke her stupid leg and I had to spend all that money to get her fixed.  Then I had a cold for all of christmas and new years, so I didn’t go out for either of those holidays, and didn’t get a NYE kiss, even from the sad fucks that were in the IRC room with me.

    Guess I’ll just cry into my glass of water and look at dirty pictures from comic-images.com.

    My first choice is Zatanna, god damn that woman is fine.  Next up will be Mary Jane and Black Cat doing the nasty (NSFW), then I think I’ll just stare at all 200 results for “power girl“.

    I’m also in need of a comic book wallpaper, so I guess I’ll take  a minute or two over at www.zoom-comics.com where there’s uh, a few comic book wallpapers.

    I’m sure that I haven’t told you guys about this other site:  if only because maybe I did, but I forgot about it in my recent flu riddled illness.  It’s all the nsfw stuff from randomnude, MCS, tikitumble, comic-images, et al, all in one glorious place.

    Also, I still have The Dildo Connoisseur. Not sure what to do with that site, right now there’s just a holder page on it.

    Anyways, that’s that.  On to the peanut butter and rice, and no alcohol.

    Oh, and I just got a call from my mother, who’s apparently in the hospital, nothing too serious, but serious enough for her to stay over night.  Joy!

    CHRISTMAS time you godless heathen bastards.

    Grandma still drives

    Dear Grand-daughter,
    The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a ‘Honk if you love Jesus’ bumper sticker.

    I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting..

    So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

    Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.

    I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn’t notice that the light had changed.

    It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn’t honked, I’d never have noticed.

    I found that lots of people love Jesus!

    While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, ‘For the love of God!’

    ‘Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!’

    What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!

    Everyone started honking!

    I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people.

    I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

    There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach.

    I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.

    I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.

    He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

    Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back.

    My grandson burst out laughing.

    Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!

    A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.

    I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.

    So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through the intersection.

    I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared.

    So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!

    Will write again soon,

    Love, Grandma

    Irvin Kershner, 1923-2010

    Director Irvin Kershner also died yesterday, at the age of 87, after a long illness. I doubt I have to tell you that Kershner directed The Empire Strikes Back, generally considered the best of all Star Wars movies, and one of the most important nerd movies of all time.

    Good grief.

    “(…) over 1,200 engineering changes from the Douglas engineering drawings, and it was no small task for Vladimir Myasishchev* to change all dimensions from U.S. customary units** to metric units (…)”
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisunov_Li-2
    *”After his return to Soviet Russia, Lisunov with Vladimir Myasischev, started the process of re-engineering the DC-3 with the objective of putting the DC-3 into production as a licenced derivative, some time later named Li-2.”

    Comet Hartley 2 Flyby

    hartleymontage1x5_epoxi.jpg (48 KB)

    Explanation: Follow these 5 frames clockwise starting from the top left to track the view from the EPOXI mission spacecraft as it approached, passed under, and then looked back at the nucleus of comet Hartley 2 on November 4. Its closest approach distance was about 700 kilometers. In fact, this encounter was the fifth time a spacecraft from planet Earth has imaged a comet close-up. But Hartley 2's nucleus is definitely the smallest one so far, its long axis spanning only about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). Though Hartley 2 is small, these stunning images showing jets of dust and gas indicate an impressively active surface. The jets are seen originating from the rough surface areas, with sunlight illuminating the nucleus from the right. Remarkably, rough areas at both ends of the elongated nucleus are joined by a narrower, smooth waist. The EPOXI mission reuses the Deep Impact spacecraft that launched a probe impacting the nucleus of comet Tempel 1 in 2005.

    Peak Break-Up Times

    FB_Breakup_BrightnessEnhanced.jpg (52 KB)

    Trends:
    • A big peak right before Spring Break…who wants to have a significant other when you’re going to be around a lot of other half-naked people.
    • Most breakups are announced on Mondays…a wonderful way to start the work week.
    • People like to start the summer being single
    • A big peak right before Christmas…a fiscally conservative decision; why waste money on someone you don’t like.
    • The lowest breakup day throughout the whole year is Christmas Day…couples are too busy eating, opening presents and pretending to be a happy, loving couple around everyone else.

    Spicules: Jets on the Sun

    spicules_nso.jpg (303 KB)

    Explanation: Imagine a pipe as wide as a state and as long as the Earth. Now imagine that this pipe is filled with hot gas moving 50,000 kilometers per hour. Further imagine that this pipe is not made of metal but a transparent magnetic field. You are envisioning just one of thousands of young spicules on the active Sun. Pictured above is one of the highest resolution image yet of these enigmatic solar flux tubes. Spicules line the above frame of solar active region 11092 that crossed the Sun last month, but are particularly evident converging on the sunspot on the lower left. Time-sequenced images have recently shown that spicules last about five minutes, starting out as tall tubes of rapidly rising gas but eventually fading as the gas peaks and falls back down to the Sun. What determines the creation and dynamics of spicules remains a topic of active research.

    A cabbie picks up a nun

    She gets into the cab and the cab driver won’t stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies: “I have a question to ask you, but I don’t want to offend you”.

    She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have,you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”

    “Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”

    She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.”

    The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes!, I’m single and Catholic!”

    “OK” the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.” The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

    “My dear child,” said the nun, “Why are you crying?”

    “Forgive me but I’ve sinned. I lied. I must confess, I’m married and I’m Jewish.”

    The nun says, “That’s OK, my name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween party.”
