  1. Your post is nit picking and using Gregorian dates. So stop while you are ahead, she is far more qualified to speak on the topic than the PA official who posted that. Year ZERO was the time following the big bang, a year had not come into existance. I am speaking about timelines and have not strayed, yet you want to apply some sort of ridiculous date to that chunk of elapsed time. We are talking about 15 Billion years back in earth time. If we use this fact to measure back to the center of the universe we can locate where the big bang occurred. Using your method of measurement would not only result in an error but would confuse things so horribly it would make everything pointless.
  2. It really is nice that he provided this money for the ship, I hate the fact that the Japanese claim they are harvesting whales for research, yet they kill so many and in protected waters. There is no research going on, they kill them for a greedy and indulgent populace that will pay for the meat. I say sink the bastards. If it were me I would mount some torpedo tubes and let the games begin! A MK48 would really put a stop to it.
  3. LOS ANGELES — Five million dollars for an anti-whaling ship? Bob Barker says the price is right. Barker donated that amount to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which named its new 1,200-ton anti-whaling ship The Bob Barker. The ship had its first confrontation with whalers on Tuesday when it joined two other Sea Shepherd vessels aiming to stop a Japanese whaling mission near Antarctica. "Whaling was shut down today," Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson said via satellite phone from aboard a nearby ship. "There's no whaling now and hopefully no whaling after this." The Bob Barker is a high-speed former whaling ship that can cut through ice, Watson said, adding that the vessel "makes it a lot easier for us to shut down these whaling operations." Sea Shepherd, which Watson describes as an "anti-poaching organization," aims to enforce the United Nations World Charter for Nature by physically intervening in illegal whaling missions. "They're targeting endangered and protected whales," he said. Barker, a longtime animal activist, stepped up his efforts even more after retiring from his 35-year gig hosting "The Price Is Right." He met Watson through a fellow animal activist and was instantly impressed. "He said he thought he could put the Japanese whaling fleet out of business if he had $5 million," Barker recalled. "I said, 'I think you do have the skills to do that, and I have $5 million, so let's get it on,' so that's what we did." Barker, 86, said he was "genuinely proud" to be associated with Sea Shepherd. And while the TV studio where "The Price Is Right" is filmed is officially called the Bob Barker Studio, the veteran broadcaster said he's never had a ship named after him. "It was our idea to name it the Bob Barker. He's a little too humble for that," Watson said. "I thought it was the least we could do." ___ On the Net: http://www.seashepherd.org
  4. Square based jackstands are far safer that those ramps. Oh what he hell, live dangerously
  5. No pic but i'll get ya one. i have a compressor and a 4" Electric Grinder. I was asking about a die grinder before, do they come with (can get) cutting discs? Yes they do, have you been living under a rock? Get the disc and cut it off if you do not have a map gas torch. Map gas gets to 1400°F quickly and they impact wrench should do the rest. If it does not come off like that just cut it off, then re weld with a Mig welder
  6. The one good thing is he gets to be with his sons now and also all those he served with who passed during the war. He will have many friends welcoming him. Currahee Carl!
  7. A year did not even exist at that point, don't be a dork. All that was occurring was the passing of time, the actual year did not arrive for some time. Earth did not exist, therefore there was not a year to be had. Want some citations to choke on?? A year only come from the orbit of the earth around the sun, so if the earth did not exist how the hell was there a year? I guess if I call my professor who is an astrophysicist that worked at the Smithsonian and NASA and get her to tell you you will still say you are right. I mean what would she know anyways compared to an Aussie?
  8. Invite Jerry to come and hang out! It would be rude not to!
  9. I told you we should have mounted those skewers on the front of your car. That and a Mercedes emblem to act as an aiming device.
  10. What was him home DZ? Skyknights?
  11. Do not argue with Maura. That way you might reach 30yrs old.
  12. Good. The first instance of something is labeled as 1. That's what we've been saying. You don't call your first skydive 'Jump 0'; you call it 'Jump 1'. Likewise, you don't call the first year 'Year 0'; it's 'Year 1'. From there it's a simple counting operation to go from decade to decade (or century to century, or millennium to millennium). But its not a year, until the year is done... a year is 365 days, not one... so up until the 365th day, its not one year yet. Not getting into leap years here... Year 1 wasn't over until 12/31/0001. So what? Prior to making your first skydive, did you tell people you were going to make your first jump or your zeroth jump? The first year wasnt over till 1/1/0001... which is when year 1 started, which was the second year. Correct, this is the only example of this phenomenon that cannot be disputed. What someone calls something and what is represented numerically is two different things.
  13. Maybe Da-vid can give you highlights and a facial today when you go to the salon. Hey our former Governor gets facials in the penitentiary.
  14. Especially if it was chunky peanut butter. BTW I was being sarcastic and if a dog that licks its own behind was gagging after licking that woman's pussy.
  15. The deer near you might no be as large but they are certainly plentiful Aaron Orland used to teach chemistry at Auburn, he said he was getting his deer limit every day after teaching, he would bring his gear and rifle and go right after getting out of the parking lot.
  16. Well heck in THAT case, I'm headed to Sandy Eggo on the 10th, if I'm still in Ca. by then I'll come up too! Hey...me & 'no talent' are synonymous! Just have them chain a sack of bowling balls to you and it will feel normal
  17. I know what you mean, my friend Danny used to get mistaken all the time until he got a bit older and put on weight due to illnesses.
  18. Looks like the family sized one.
  19. The Casino is one of the places I was looking at. Looks like new rooms. Thanks! Still checking. I did just ask the new boy if he wanted to go with me but he has a work thing from the 11th to the 17th and has to be home. That's OK just throw yourself at the baggage boy
  20. Is that because it heats up your meat?
  21. According to sources the dog is heard in the audio portion while off camera. He was throwing up!
