    More Moon talk, this one is interesting, how about giving our own moon a name??

    I'm surprised he didn't mention the Earth being 'Terra' (which means the same thing), especially in science fiction. In the great classic PC game Star Control 2, you encounter a species of sentient plants who also claim to be from Earth. You later discover this is because your universal...

    Favorite Subway sandwiches?

    If I want to air gripes with Subway: -employees who either don't ask or don't listen to what you ask for, and just start dumping onions on it when I specifically say 'No onions!' or start toasting it without asking. The bread is dry enough without being burnt in the oven too! -closed (yes or...

    learning ASL question???

    Lifeprint is from California and so regional differences still apply. However, in a few instances the alternate versions of signs that he offers as 'I don't recommend' have been the ones I was told to use by my teachers.

    This car is too efficient for the market, bullshit or what?

    So much ignorant, angry ranting in that article it's hard to know where to start with explaining how wrong the author is.

    This is what happen when you park your car in front of a hydrant

    You see it happen in the movie Backdraft, go to 0:53 in this video to see the clip: See what can happen if you park by hydrant - YouTube Incidentally, don't read the Daily Mail. It's a terrible newspaper and website, and attracts the worst sort of people. Look how many comments there are on...

    Why eat at McDonald's or Taco Bell in mall food court?

    Most food courts here have Jimmy The Greek (Greek stuff like gyros, salads, souvlakis), Teriyaki Experience, and more so at least it's not all burgers and chicken. I had an Orange Julius the other day. I love them but I ordered a large forgetting just how large that is. The bottom quarter of...

    Comic Book character Archie Andrews dies

    He's only dying in the 'Life With Archie' storyline, where they're adults. He'll live forever anyway, I used to buy the digests by the ton (great summer reading at the cottage!) and half of them were recycled strips from the 70s and 80s, very obvious by the clothing and cars and hairstyles!

    Favorite Subway sandwiches?

    Italian BMT on Honey Oat with cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, black olives, jalapenos, mayo and honey mustard. NOT TOASTED. EVER. We have Mr Sub here in Canada, where I tend to get a Canadian Club (bacon, ham and turkey) on multigrain with the same toppings as above except hot peppers...

    Why eat at McDonald's or Taco Bell in mall food court?

    In your neighbourhood, maybe. In my neighbourhood, the only Taco Bell was the one in the mall. I've never seen it cost more in a mall, but I have seen it cost more in a service plaza on the highway (because they figure you have no alternative)

    Yellowstone Animals Fleeing Park Supervolcano Eruption Imminent?

    They travel along railways too. It's the path of least resistance through the wilderness. Bad news when the train comes.

    83 restaurant free food challenges all over U.S.

    That link made me go out and get pizza for lunch! Not a 28 inch one with four pounds of cheese and 20 toppings, though.

    Concerned about what you spend on your meal ?

    I took a friend out for my birthday, she said she'd never seen a place that expensive and felt self conscious. I told her not to worry, it's a special occasion so I am treating myself as well as you, get whatever you like and just relax. It was fine.

    Hotel soaps and shampoo

    Geez Mickey, take your gloves off before you pick up the soap! I've stayed in some 'budget' hotels where there was a bottle of combined body wash/shampoo only... and it was in a bracket attached to the wall inside the shower. You'd put some in your hair and some on your body. Not ideal but if...

    Planes/Aviation only and your comments

    Thank you for the kind offer! The Smyrna air show's website doesn't list what is going to be showing up yet. This is the Toronto show's site from last year: Canadian International Air Show - Toronto Air Show I didn't get to go (the crowd is always huge!) but I did hear one of the military...
