There goes the shuttle!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Snacky's Law!
Space shuttle has lifted off.
I got a chill when it happened....
There goes the shuttle!
Eep. I had a very bad moment of connecting this in my mind with kamikaze cicadas.
My officemate just arrived festooned with cicada guts. It kamikazied into his HEAD on the beltway and exploded.
Maybe the heat's driving the cicadas mad. Or weakening their carapaces. I've had bugs fly into me before, but they always bounced off. Of course, I could just have more padding than the festooned officemate.
My aussie pal just icqed me to mention that one of the shuttlenauts is from Adelaide (where my pal lives). That's very cool.
Birthday! Kat!
Timelies,
Happy Birthday, Kat.
There was a time in highschool when I desperately wanted to grow a pony tail. However, me with long hair = afro, so it just wasn't possible.
About organic produce, I know the whole reason behind pesticides is so you don't end up getting inadvertant (and gross) protein with your fruits and veggies. How do the organics manage to avoid that?

This is both funny and incredibly gross. I'd imagine I'd only be feeling the latter if it were my head.
There goes the shuttle!
Whoo!
Wow. Footage from the external tank as the shuttle jettisoned it....
So now the shuttle will flip over and the crew will inspect the external tank. Then the shuttle will flip back and start up its smaller maneuvering rockets to give it a small boost up to orbital velocity. (This is the first time they've done this extra flip and observation.)
