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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
FYI, looks like TAR is delayed -- 60 Minutes is still on.

Art Crawl!!!
Does anyone know how long TAR is delayed?

Okay, over at TWOP they're saying that TAR is about 45 minutes delayed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Watching Space:1999 DVDs. I do like their episode 1 uniforms--mock turtlenecks with a zipper down one side of the neck and all the way to the cuff of the sleeve. The beige is boring, but the cut...cool.Spare. Nice and spare. The shiny wide belts are an interesting design decision.
Why was the future analogue in 1975? It's all oscilloscopes all the time.
Obviously the science that turns the moon into a huge spaceship is wrong, but I couldn't help wondering what happens to us if the moon were to suddenly disappear? Bodies of water would average out with no high and low tides, but what else?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There was a documentary on Discovery, I think, about what if we didn't have a moon. I recall they said that the earth's rotational axis would shift erratically, making the seasons unpredictable and severe.

Werewolves would find their lives easier?
But seriously, the moon stabilizes the Earth's rotation. Apparently the North and South poles would end up pointing in all sorts of directions - even directly at the Sun. And tons of creatures rely on tides as part of their life cycles.
x-posty....

What is it about the planet that needs a moon for stabilisation of its orbit? The Platonic planet wouldn't, would it?
Also, why are blueberries so damned tasty? Did the moon make it so?

Didn't they just decide Plato isn't a planet??

why are blueberries so damned tasty?
I don't know, but they are pretty wonderful. I've discovered dried blueberries, which sound kind of meh, but are delicious when fresh aren't available. They're like virtuous candy.
