Hehehe 70s Porno Weeds ... great phrase.
I dunno - the thought of sharp-toothed impliment in close proximity to my conkers fills me with tremblin' terror

I've only nicked my beans once and I've been using a razor for years.

Expected something else (:) ) but this is fascinating. I watched for a few minutes then got my boss over and we watched it in silence for another minute before I decided if I'm going to get any work done then I'll have to close the window.

From a CH101 mailing list I'm on:
Hello,
I don't have a question but rather wanted to pass on exciting news to everyone in CH101 that relates to what we've been studying recently.
Northern Lights have been observable in Boston this week, with possible further activity tonight and tomorrow. Usually we're too far south to witness this activity, but due to some rather large coronal mass ejections (CME's) from the sun causing some rather intense geomagnetic storms the "oval" of observable auroras has been pushed further south (and north in the southern hemisphere) than normal. Due to the magnitude of these storms, auroras can be seen in less-than-ideal conditions. I was at a park in Brookline last night and witnessed some incredible green/blue overhead auroras from 12-1am.
Today's Space Weather prediction page is here:
http://sec.noaa.gov/today.html
There are many sites that explain what causes auroras, but one of the most clear and comprehensive is found here:
Page one:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_s ... appen.html
Page two:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_s ... utsun.html
Page three:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_s ... olors.html
Essentially, the lights we see are the result of charged particles ejected from the sun, which hit the earth's atmosphere near the earth's magnetic poles. The interaction with gases in our atmosphere (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen) result in colorful light displays in the sky.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA,
http://www.noaa.gov) uses NASA's Polar Orbiting Environment Satellites (POES) and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) to measure things like electron/photon/x-ray flux, changes in onboard magnetometers, etc. They also use the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO,
http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/) to observe solar activity, such as the CME's already mentioned as well as Solar Flares. The information gathered from these sources is what is displayed on the Today's Space Weather page. Yet another useful page is the Auroral Activity extrapolated from POES data page:
http://sec.noaa.gov/pmap/
Sorry for the long email, but this stuff is really cool.

is it a bad sign when nearly everything you read appears to take on a sexual connotation in your mind?

You just need someone to kiss them better.

There is no "real" studio version... there is the version of a band I was in doing it at a gig , around 1996 or so, it's here:
Little Pig by Bonafide
It's one of those epic masterpieces written in a lucid moment...
right. We were drunk and high and needed a filler!!!

My favourite bit is where the administrator corrects one of the receipes because who can produce a full cup of the stuff in time for the entrees?

I've never understood hunting. I can see the point if you're starving, but killing for recreation seems deeply perverted. This takes it one level further, armchair cruelty at it's finest.

...ever so often, some thing actually grosses me out. This worked. After reading a few posts, it suddenly occured to me...."what am I doing?????"
...the internet proves that there are all kinds of people... with all kinds of ...
tastes. Yep, that was gross.

I'll second that Leaf. I don't consider myself a prude, but that is just a shade beyond the pale.

WAHN WAhn Wahhhhh
My opinion: GROSS! but yet, oddly exciting
and as for the remote hunting...
it would be hard to keep track of who shot what once the site got popular...also...reloads...junk like that. Only one person at a time...whats to keep someone from hogging the gun...then there would be time limits... Just seems like it'd be more trouble that it's worth.
