Hello, Gadget Girl! Where are you, if I may be so nosy.

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.
Having frostbite explained and seeing bad cases of it isn't making my toes any warmer.
We had penne pasta with alfredo sauce
Add chicken and that's what we had!!

All of you pasta+alfredo having people need to Zip It. Am jealous. And still hungry.

Hi Gadget Girl!
Once upon a time there was a map that showed where we all lived. Not sure if it exists online anymore.
I'm in Chicago.

That snake eats giraffes. How does one even start to eat a giraffe?
Here's the map, I think: [link]

Hi Gadget_Girl!
OMG - Spiders on Mars!
SAN FRANCISCO—NASA scientists have discovered what might form some of the weirdest landscapes on Mars, winding channels carved into the Martian surface that scientists have dubbed "spiders," "lace" and "lizard skin."
The unusual landscape features form in an area of Mars' south pole called cryptic terrain because it once defied explanation.
But new observations from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, presented here today at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union, bolster theories that the intricate patterns may be sculpted by springtime outbursts of carbon dioxide gas from underneath the frozen-carbon dioxide polar ice cap.
The pictures are kinda freaky....
Aw, astronaut didn't make the summit. Core temp was fluctuating too much and he had signs of the thing where your lung bubbles pop due to strain (temps between something ridic like 93 and 103. I think they swallowed a probe or had one implanted to get data on core temps. At least he didn't get too sick. We need him!!!)
Looks like a bunch of people died or were badly injured on the periphery during the filming of this NOVA. Hence, the title: Deadly Ascent
I'd love to see some of the places climbers go, but it is too brutal for me, I do believe.
