24 was a pretty good age. It's better now though.

[infinite monkey]

I remember being 24. Only because I remember these lyrics, and thinking 'oh gosh there must be more' only to find out there IS more but it's mostly crap.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
And there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Those of us who only have nine fingers know better. That date is really 13/13/2675. And you will be 57. We know you were really born in the year 2617. People with ten fingers just get confused. Their number looks smaller. Then they don't feel so old.

Sod that, my age is hex28.

On year 2000, computers would crash and the world as we know it would come to an end. Wacko extremists easily created that fear among naive ten finger people. Extremists forgot to mention that the year 2000 was more commonly known as the year 1024.

Fear is so easily created among those with ten fingers. Only fewer ten finger people with education saw through those extremist lies and fears.

In a few weeks, eight finger people will celebrate the new year: 3720. Be fearful. That number contains a zero digit.

Meanwhile we all know the world will end in 4000. Or the year 2048 to those who count using ten fingers.

People foolishly assume god has ten fingers when they predict a future based in digits. We all know god has 666 fingers.

God only uses one finger and he/she has been giving it to us for at least 2000 years.

3-mile-wide asteroid to buzz planet Earth tonight

A giant asteroid will make a flyby of Earth over the next few days, and armchair astronomers can watch the action live on their computers.

The near-Earth asteroid 4179 Toutatis, which is about 3 miles wide,
will zoom within 4.3 million miles of Earth
during its closest approach early Wednesday morning, Dec. 12.

That's too far away to pose any impact threat on this pass,
but close enough to put on a pretty good show through top-notch telescopes, researchers say.
And some of those scopes will be tracking Toutatis' movements for
the benefit of sky watchers around the world.
The online Slooh Space Camera and Virtual Telescope Project, for example,
will both stream live, free footage of the asteroid from professional-quality observatories.

"Slooh technical staff will let the public follow this fast-moving asteroid in two different ways.
In one view, the background stars will be tracked at their own rate and the asteroid will appear
as an obvious streak or a moving time-lapse dot across the starry field," Berman said in a statement.

"In a second view, Toutatis itself will be tracked and held steady as a tiny pointlike object,
while Earth's spin makes the background stars whiz by as streaks," Berman added.
"Both methods will make the asteroid's speedy orbital motion obvious as it passes us in space."

Nerding it up in honour of 12:12:12 12/12/12:



Okay I'm half an hour early.

[Aliantha]

well with daylight savings you were over an hour early Zen, but really, who's counting?

[ZenGum]

Posted 11.35 my time, but my mobile internet emerges onto the real web somewhere in Queensland*, so the Cellar thinks it was earlier.

*So I keep seeing these "Meet girls in Brisbane today!" ads. I think they're they same blonde chicks that wanted to meet me in Japan, too.

[Aliantha]

OK, my statement was back to front. I should have said 'without' daylight savings...cause we don't have it up here, mostly thanks to bloody idiots, but who cares. Maybe they're the ones who'll be...I dunno...disappearing or something in half an hour or so?

I still can't wait for Christmas!

[Aliantha]

ZEN!!! Are you still here??? Is the world still alive???? ZEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
