mouth 0 #1376 October 30, 2002 Ok, Erno, STOP fucking with my sun for goodness sake. I dispise winter here in GA bad enough... PLEASE don't make it any colder here and NO snow. (We get snow about once every 8-10 years here.) If you must tilt the world at least give me time to evacuate to a warmer clim.

Unfortunately this probably means that a lot of the southern states of the US will be flooded as the sea sloshes around a bit. Sorry, but its all for the common good. Remember. As long as we only get rain Tues to Thurs inclusive. Next Tues is OUT it's Melbourne Cup Day. Just keep those simple things in mind and it'll all work out for the best, I'm quite sure.Ooroo Mark F...

skymama 37 #1381 October 30, 2002 Good Morning, you guys! It's early for me...insomnia sucks! Nacmac, I'll buy you a beer, but you'll have to come to FL. And, yes I saw your subliminal message a long time ago. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #1382 October 30, 2002 Thanks Erno, I appreciate that. Sorry about getting upset but I really have never been around snow and real cold enough to appreciate it thus I prefer beach weather. A NWO sounds nice sometimes. I assume we will all have very important positions that allow for 24/7 posting on DZ.com while you are in command. Ya'll, there is actually going to be sun this morning. I am SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPPPPPPPYYY.Kerry, watch out for stranger people than we already hang out with. I assume he saw your pic and thought "cute babe...go for it". Does anyone here roast their own coffee beans? I have a roaster and have enjoyed it, but thought it would be neat to get some beans from around the world to try. . -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

bluefingers 0 #1386 October 30, 2002 Hey Lisa I don't personally, but that is only because I never have time, and I don't have the right pan. My mom does though, I'll get her to send me some, and I'll pass on your way if you like. It might take some time though.

grega 0 #1387 October 30, 2002 I just got even better idea, why wouldn't we bring the closest star and put it in our solar system, so we'll have two suns and of course two equators "George just lucky i guess!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the Sun doesn't revolve around the Earth, but rather the other way around, I don't see how that would work; We can only orbit one star at a time. So the solution would be a dual-sun solar system, but then the suns would be at the same place when viewed from here; sort of defeats the purpose. Not to mention the inherent instability of the orbits of satellites in a dual-star system. We'd probably be flung out to cold interstellar space(not good), or sucked in to the suns(not good) in no time at all... But of course, as a mad scientist, you're supposed to have evil impossible plans... Maybe your idea is worth trying after all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, when are you going to announce the digitalisation of time? 12 months doesn't seem all that logical, so can you speed the earth up a bit, so it orbits the sun in 10 months?

bluefingers 0 #1399 October 30, 2002 Inbetween skimming through all your geeky theories on how to keep warm, I've been giving old Dingleberry Darren (our IT Techie) a hard time. Now there is a geek. He's sweet and harmless, but I battle to keep a straight face when he's fiddling with my pc. His latest : I have this stupid gimmicky clock on my pc tower, with little suction pads .... he has spent the last 10 minutes chortling because the suction pads are strong, and if I just get another 10 little clocks, and some string, I can carry my tower around .... I ask you, with tears in my eyes ..... is there hope for these people? Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #1400 October 30, 2002 "so can you speed the earth up a bit, so it orbits the sun in 10 months" Hmm, I was thinking about this too, its is feasible, and has several advantages over our 365 1/4 ish day cycle. 1) it would enable a 'decimal year to be instituted. Which is no problem, we'd just have to get rid of a couple of months, I'm voting November and February to be binned cos they are crap months anyway. 2) Now this is the important bit so pay attention. We have to speed up the earth. Preliminary modelling by my engineering team suggests that this would reduce the effect of gravity, thereby increasing freefall time, but more importantly, reducing the price of jump tickets. Use less fuel to get to altitude, faster climbing aircraft etc.... We can't really speed up the earth's orbit of the sun, its just not practical, but when we are adjusting its tilt to relocate the equator, we could nudge the earth closer to the sun, thereby reducing the solar year. This would also have the effect of increasing the earths temp, giving us more blue days!
