ROFL MagiK...

And I read the thread title and thought of this:

The Galaxy Song
by Monty Python

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem sad or tough
And people are useless, or obnoxious, or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enough...

Just remember that you're standing on a planet thats evolving,
Revolving at nine-hundred miles an hour,
And orbiting at nineteen million seconds, so its reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power,

Now the sun, and you and me, and all that stars that you can see,
Are moving a million miles a day,
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the milky way,

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars,
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side,
It bulges in the middle, sixty thousand light-years thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide,

We're thiry thousand light-years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions in this
Amazing and Expanding Universe!

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz,
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, y'know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is,

So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth.

I don't know... I suppose it wasn't all that relevant - but I still thought of it when I read this thread! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Good stuff, MagiK. The Iraqi head is still seeking Arms of course.

Ya got to wonder if the editors even read the stuff they publish [img]smile.gif[/img]

They probably do and the headlines probably make perfect sense to them.

LOL! Great post MagiK! I especially liked "Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over". Can someone explain this to me? [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Here I was worrying about dangling participles when I posted.

No dangling anything here...this is a family forum!!!!
