It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Trust my rage
In other news, I've become sadly addicted to the minute-by-minute Tour de France newsflashes.
I'm watching the Tour right now, AIFG. Actually, it's a rather dull stage, but still fun to watch.
amych, you are so right! This may as well be the All-Lance-All-the-Time channel. Personally, I think the guy is amazing, but I sort of wish he had retired last year so someone else could win for once.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Planet with three suns discovered:
Caltech astronomer Maciej Konacki, who wrote the research article, refers to the new type of planets as "Tatooine planets," because of the similarity to Luke Skywalker's view of his home planet by the same name, with its multiple suns, in the original "Star Wars" film.

A while back I was reading an article on what it would take to send an unmanned probe to a nearby star. The article said that launching such a probe could happen by (IIRC) 2050 or so. So not in most of our lifetimes, but it's cool to know that scientists moslty know how to do it. (The biggest problem is creating and storing the antimatter fuel.)

Kat, How does April Cornell clothing run, size wise?
Also, you are evil.
Have a good first day!

Isn't that system more of a "Nightfall" system, with three suns (Tatooine had two, I believe)? Love that story, btw--I think I'll have to find a copy of it this weekend so I can read it again.

"Nightfall" was 6 suns, wasn't it? The expanded version was also good [link]

Pitch Black had 3 suns. But hopefully this isn't that planet.
