I just watched Pitch Black again, and it's three suns.
For some reason I was thinking there was just two suns in that little model of the solar system. I must have misremembered.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

I just went and checked IMDb to make sure my memory wasn't going (post first and ask later, that's my motto), and their blurb says "a planet that has three suns orbiting around it."
So my confidence is shot - if they don't know what orbits what, can they count?

shrift, at least it is moderately innocuous. Several years ago, I got one with the gist of people get the government they deserve.
Why yes, it was right around the time of some local elections.

So my DH had a cool day today. He and the ambassador met with the MIT guy who is doing underwater archaeological surveying here. It's the same team that photographed the Titanic and the Lusitania. Now they are using submersible cameras that are tether-free, which is a necessity as the Greeks don't have any gyroscopically-stabilzed ships. But anyway, this dude is a (the?) professor of Technology and History, what a great field! He unrolled the film, about 6' of photos, of a 4th C trireme that went down between Asia Minor and the Attic Peninsula, and my DH went all fanboy on him. DH's now one of the first 35 people to see this ship and its cargo in the last 2400 years.

Sophia! What excellent news! Too bad you can't take vacation for at least part of your notice.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There. Are. Three. Lights.

I am so freakin' jealous. I'm seriously considering taking up SCUBA diving so I can get involved in underwater surveying. And that's in Ireland. The conditions in the Med sound a lot more tempting, I have to say.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sophia, congratulations! I will be happy to give up my @@ of amusement at your insane boss, for the sake of a happier you!
