I have a really dumb question about trojan orbits
I suspect they have nothing to do with either condoms or horses.
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
trojan orbits
Is that when something has almost the same orbit as Earth, so sometimes it gets captured by Earth and sometimes it escapes?

Where are my trick-or-treaters?!?!? I expect small children in costume at my door!

hee.

The best of my understanding so far is that they allow an object to share an orbital path with a larger object, without colliding. There is of course, mathiness involved.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Got more trick or treaters, one escorted by a very drunk father. There was a super cute little pirate girl. I'm giving it until 9 pm, I think. I'm a little surprised I haven't gotten surly teenagers at all, lord knows we have lots in the neighborhood.
Am continuing to pay bills. Fear my adultness!

it's been a very slow night. Hubby is sitting on the porch with a bag of candy and some candles. A father and his small ones went by, and dad said, "This house has lights on and there's someone sitting there who I bet has candy." And his little girl said, "No, Daddy, we're not allowed to go to houses with unmembers." IE, not members of the Mormon church. IE again, our house has been blacklisted.
I don't care, but Hubby adores this kind of stuff and is quite hurt. I've told him that he can go to church if he wants to blend in with the neighborhood, but it's not my church and I will not pretend it is.
Dammit. Maybe some freethinkers will come by.

Thank you. I'll hit your profile addy, likely tomorrow. I need to find words that cloak the dumb first.

The Trojan objects/points are actually named after a bunch of asteroids that were named for Trojan War characters, which is the only Trojanish element to them.
I'm going to have to FF through a bunch of tonight's Hoarders, as it looks like the cat hoarder's kitties are in damn rough shape.

And his little girl said, "No, Daddy, we're not allowed to go to houses with unmembers."
It's sad when children are so brainwashed they refuse free candy.
What is the corrupting power in nationally distributed fun-size candy purchased by non-Mormons?
