    Hubble’s Lagoon

    LagoonClose_hst.jpg (2 MB)

    Explanation: Like brush strokes on a canvas, ridges of color seem to flow across this scene. But here, the canvas is nearly 3 light-years wide and the colors map emission from ionized gas in the Lagoon Nebula, recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. Also known as M8, the nebula is a star forming region about 5,000 light-years distant in the constellation Sagittarius. Hubble’s remarkably sharp, close-up view reveals undulating shapes sculpted by the energetic light and winds from the region’s new born stars. Of course, the Lagoon nebula is a popular target for earthbound skygazers, too. It features a prominent dust lane and bright hourglass shape in small telescopes with wider fields of view.

    The Sun at Equinox

    sdoEquinox_0171.jpg (588 KB)

    On the first full day of the fall equinox:

    …the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading south at 03:09 Universal Time. Known as an equinox, this astronomical event marks the first day of autumn in the northern hemisphere and spring in the south. Equinox means equal night. With the Sun on the celestial equator, Earth dwellers will experience nearly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. Of course, in the north the days continue to grow shorter, the Sun marching lower in the sky as winter approaches. To celebrate the equinox, consider this view of the Sun in extreme ultraviolet light from the Sun staring Solar Dynamics Observatory. Recorded yesterday, the false-color image shows emission from highly ionized iron atoms. Loops and arcs trace the glowing plasma suspended in magnetic fields above solar active regions.

    Coma Sex

    A husband and wife get in a car accident. Husband’s okay other than some scrapes and bruises, but wife falls into a coma. For weeks the husband sits by her side in the hospital. One night, though he feels bad about it, he starts getting horny. He reaches over, slides his hand under her gown, runs his hand slowly up her thigh, but pulls it back suddenly when he notices the beeping heart monitor pick up pace.

    The next day he takes the doctor aside and tells him. “Interesting,” the doctor says, “She’s responding. Maybe try more tonight? Maybe oral sex?” The husband still thinks it’s a little wrong, but agrees to try it.

    That night, a Code Blue rings out in the halls. Nurses rush in to revive the flatlining wife. The husband stands outside, stunned, when the doctor pulls him aside and asks “What happened? Did you try the oral sex?”

    “Yes,” says the husband, blankly.

    “Well, what happened?” the doctor asks.

    The husband answers, “Well, she just started choking.”

    No sex since 1955

    A crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation. “Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?” “Negative, ma’am. Just serious by nature.” The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, “It looks like you have seen a lot of action.” “Yes, ma’am, a lot of action.” The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, “You know, you should lighten up. Relax and enjoy yourself.” The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. Finally the young lady said, “You know, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?” “1955, ma’am.” “Well, there you are. No wonder you’re so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to “relax” him several times. Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, “Wow, you sure didn’t forget much since 1955.” The Sergeant Major said in his serious voice, after glancing at his watch, “I hope not; it’s only 2130 now.”

    I’d have tied this in with my other post of my dog but i didn’t think at the time..
    Then and now pics of my leopard gecko conveniently named Gex.
    Don’t know the sex yet.. still a bit premature to be able to tell.
    first pic from April this year
    second pic from the beginning of August.

    As you can tell it’s come a long way in 4 months, started off with a small appetite, lack of calcium and D2(think that’s the name) in diet and quite bad shedding.
    The appetite problem is solved and shedding problem has virtually gone now, sometimes have to help but nowhere near as bad as what it was.. on a good diet that’s properly dusted but limbs still seem a bit weak.
    Was nice to nurse the little thing back to health.. just glad i didn’t have to go to the vets at any point because I’d have had to sell an organ :/

    After posting Magnum I wanted to post my cat as well.
    This is Milo (or Milly) and I got him when I was thirteen, about six years ago now. I found him living in one of those big trash bins out the back of a Chinese restaurant. He had no collar and was pitch black with dirt at the time, and according to the nice woman who worked at the restaurant, he’d been living in the bin for about two months, ever since he was a really young kitten, living in the bin to keep out of the rain and eating the shops leftovers. So I brought him home with me.
    He was pretty scared of humans, and having two dogs there at the time (a kelpie and a shitsu) didn’t help, so you often found him trying to kill the dogs with his tiny angry paws of fury, but our dogs were way to nice to hurt him, To this day I still have little faint white lines where he sliced my arms, but after about a month he stopped being a little ratbag and became a perfect little housecat that would always sleep on my bed and pounce around when I got home from school. He still tries to take on dogs though, poor Magnum just wants to be his friend.

    He was my best friend through all the hard years of highschool and all the problems with my family and honestly, I need him more than he needs me.
    (especially since the little bastard is far too pro at finding his own lunch, forgot to feed him one night, he had his revenge by eating a TIGER SNAKE on my goddamn bed while i was sleeping on it, left half of it there on my chest, worst thing to wake up to)

    Japanese Whales

    Two whales are swimming about the ocean, suddenly one of them spots a Japanese whaling ship.

    “There are those bastards that killed my mother” The whale says. “let’s get them!”

    “How are we going to do that?” says the other whale.

    “Easy, we both swim underneath them, position our blow holes beneath their stern, take a deep breath and our water spouts will capsize them”.

    So off go both the whales to enact their plan, and a few minutes later the ship has capsized and all the sailors are floating about in the ocean.

    “That was great!”, says the first whale really excited, “let’s go over there and eat the sailors!”

    “absolutely not!” says the second whale, “I don’t mind giving them a blow job but I’m definitely not swallowing the seamen”

  • So a shark and his son are going to get some food…

    They look for a vessel in distress, and when they finally find one, the father says to the son, “I’m going to teach you how to catch your first human. First, you raise your dorsal fin slightly out of the water. Second, you raise all of your fins out of the water, and start circling around them. Finally, you go in and eat them.”

    The father and son swim over to the vessel, and the son executes the meal with ease. The father is impressed with his son, and commends him on his excellent performance. But the son is troubled and asks, “Why do we raise our fins out of the water and circle around them? Wouldn’t it just be easier to go in and eat them?”

    The father replies, “They taste better without shit in them.”

    Long story short, painting the rear fender and the gas tank cover.

    Please view images full size and comment on them.

    Yes, I know the gas tank cover looks like CRAP primed, but I put about 3 layers to help soak in the cracks, and plan to do about 2-3 layers of the paint.

    Finish it off with clear coat and it really helps it not show.

    First time stripping/painting plastic, give me a break.

    Might re-do the entire gas tank cover.

    Paint is about $6 a can, will cover 4 square feet per can (the green metallic)

    Also, today some kids literally down the street flagged me down.

    They really wanted the chopper.

    I told them I paid $200 and they offered $150 but I said I JUST got it and I am going to fix it up and sell it (starting with the paint, obviously)

    It’s pretty much BRAND new after I took some 0000 steel wool to the chrome frame, tire shine to the tires, and now painting the plastic parts.

    I wonder how much I can get for it?

    Also they wanted to trade me a $700 specialized rock hopper for my liquimatic sport roller (go ped without a motor – has everything except the motor)

    They were REALLY eager to trade me for the go ped for some reason.

    I think I will do it.

    I will keep M[C]S updated.

    Congressional Fallout Shelter

    bunker1.png (929 KB)

    bunker2.png (365 KB)

    bunker3.png (368 KB)

    bunker4.png (750 KB)

    Known as Project X, Project Casper and eventually as Project Greek Island, and designed with relative luxury, this congressional fallout shelter remained a state secret until 1992.

    In the mid 1950s, the United States government covertly arranged to build a fallout shelter to house the entire U.S. Congress underneath the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV. Using the building of a new hotel addition—paid for by the Eisenhower administration—as cover, the government set out to build a Congress deep beneath the ground. As part of this Faustian deal the five star hotel agreed that in case of nuclear war—or even just a realistic threat—the entire hotel would be commandeered by the government, hot tubs and all.

    A post-nuclear seat of congressional government, this was truly intended to house only the congressmen and their aids. It was not designed to accommodate their wives or children, who would presumably have to find shelter somewhere else.

    To help ensure its secrecy the bunker was operated by a dummy company known as Forsythe Associates and workers on the bunker all dressed as hotel audiovisual employees. Any calls going in and out of the bunker were routed through the hotel switchboard so it looked as if they originated from and were going to the Resort.

    The shelter was fully equipped and among its standard bunk-beds, TVs and furniture, which populate the “Graceland of Atomic Tourism,” there are a few very curious items. Among these are a special room meant for holding and calming members of Congress who can’t handle the stress, and an incinerator meant for “pathological waste,” or the Congressmen’s irradiated bodies. A huge 100-foot radio tower installed 4.5 miles away was connected to the bunker so that the congressmen could broadcast emergency messages.

    Completed in 1958, the shelter is no longer operative since its location was revealed in a 1992 Washington Post article.

    Currently, the shelter houses the offices of a data storage company, but for three decades it was fully stocked with food, furniture, and even current magazines. The shelter even had two mock chambers of Congress, complete with flags, microphones and pictures of the founding fathers, all equipped to carry on U.S. government operations in case of nuclear war.

    I live just a few miles away from this. Maybe I’ll check it out one weekend.

    Antennae Galaxies in Collision

    antennae_hstdemartin_big.jpg (1 MB)

    Explanation: Two galaxies are squaring off in Corvus and here are the latest pictures. But when two galaxies collide, the stars that compose them usually do not. That’s because galaxies are mostly empty space and, however bright, stars only take up only a small amount of that space. During the slow, hundred million year collision, one galaxy can still rip the other apart gravitationally, and dust and gas common to both galaxies does collide. In this clash of the titans, dark dust pillars mark massive molecular clouds are being compressed during the galactic encounter, causing the rapid birth of millions of stars, some of which are gravitationally bound together in massive star clusters.

    the golfing nun

    A nun walked into Mother Superior’s office and plunked down into a chair. She let out a sigh heavy with frustration.

    ‘What troubles you, Sister?’ asked the Mother Superior. ‘I thought this was the day you spent with your family.’

    ‘It was,’ sighed the Sister. ‘And I went to play golf with my brother. We try to play golf as often as we can. You know I was quite a talented golfer before I devoted my life to Christ.’

    ‘I seem to recall that,’ the Mother Superior agreed. ‘So I take it your day of recreation was not relaxing?’

    ‘Far from it,’ snorted the Sister. ‘In fact, I even took the Lord’s name in vain today!’

    ‘Goodness, Sister!’ gasped the Mother Superior, astonished. ‘You must tell me all about it!’

    ‘Well, we were on the fifth tee…and this hole is a monster, Mother-540 yard Par 5, with a nasty dogleg right and a hidden green…and I hit the drive of my life. I creamed it. The sweetest swing I ever made. And it’s flying straight and true, right along the line I wanted…and it hits a bird in mid-flight !’

    ‘Oh my!’ commiserated the Mother. ‘How unfortunate! But surely that didn’t make you blaspheme, Sister!

    ”No, that wasn’t it,’ admitted Sister. ‘While I was still trying to fathom what had happened, this squirrel runs out of the woods, grabs my ball and runs off down the fairway!’

    ‘Oh, that would have made me blaspheme!’ sympathized the Mother.

    ‘But I didn’t, Mother!’ sobbed the Sister. ‘And I was so proud of myself! And while I was pondering whether this was a sign from God, this hawk swoops out of the sky and grabs the squirrel and flies off, with my ball still clutched in his paws!’

    ‘So that’s when you cursed,’ said the Mother with a knowing smile.

    ‘Nope, that wasn’t it either,’ cried the Sister, anguished, ‘because as the hawk started to fly out of sight, the squirrel started struggling, and the hawk dropped him right there on the green, and the ball popped out of his paws and rolled to about 18 inches from the cup!’

    Mother Superior sat back in her chair, folded her arms across her chest, fixed the Sister with a baleful stare and said… ’You missed the fucking putt, didn’t you?’

    Right by his side

    One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, ‘You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side.

    ’‘When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side… You know what?

    ’‘What dear?’ she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.

    ‘I think you’re bad luck… Get the Hell away from me’.

    Italian Confession

    An elderly Italian man who lived on the outskirts of Rimini Italy, went to the local church for confession. When the priest slid open the panel in the confessional, the man said:

    “Father.. During World War II, a beautiful Jewish woman from our neighborhood knocked urgently on my door and asked me to hide her from the Nazis. So I hid her in my attic.”

    The priest replied: “That was a wonderful thing you did, and you have no need to confess that.”

    “There is more to tell, Father.. She started to repay me with sexual favors. This happened several times a week, and sometimes twice on Sundays.”

    The priest said, “That was a long time ago and by doing what you did, you placed the two of you in great danger, but two people under those circumstances can easily succumb to the weakness of the flesh. However, if you are truly sorry for your actions, you are indeed forgiven.”

    “Thank you, Father. That’s a great load off my mind. I do have one more question.”

    “And what is that?” asked the priest.

    “Should I tell her the war is over?”

    Where White Man Went
    Wrong

    Indian Chief ‘Two Eagles’ was asked by a white U.S.
    government official, “You have observed the white man
    for 90 years. You’ve seen his wars and his technological
    advances. You’ve seen his progress, and the damage he’s
    done.”
    The Chief nodded in agreement.
    The official continued, “Considering all these events, in
    your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?”
    The Chief stared at the government official then replied,
    “When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes,
    no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women
    did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all
    day hunting and fishing; all night having sex.”
    Then the chief leaned back and smiled, “Only white man
    dumb enough to think he could improve system like that.”

    Living In Guatemala Sucks

    In just the past seven days, residents of Guatemala and parts of neighboring Honduras and El Salvador have had to cope with a volcanic eruption and ash fall, a powerful tropical storm, the resulting floods and landslides, and a frightening sinkhole in Guatemala City that swallowed up a small building and an intersection. Pacaya volcano started erupting lava and rocks on May 27th, blanketing Guatemala City with ash, closing the airport, and killing one television reporter who was near the eruption. Two days later, as Guatemalans worked to clear the ash, Tropical Storm Agatha made landfall bringing heavy rains that washed away bridges, filled some villages with mud, and somehow triggered the giant sinkhole – the exact cause is still being studied
