    Yeah, I didn't love it, but I figured there was no harm to it. You're our matty, who's a good matty? Yup, it's you! You're a good matty!

    :)

    Too much?

    Always good to know that we are such a reprehensible species that we would literally leave our sh*t on the moon! :supermad:

    But imagine how it would confuse the alien archaeologists once the glaciers wipe all traces of us from the earth. Bags of frozen shit, dumped in a crater where the sun never shines, near the sun-rotted remains of landing gear.

    They have escaped from the pages of Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy.

    Yet I know of this popcorn scene you speak of.

    I'm not sure if that fact is in fact useless, but here goes:
    Polar stratospheric clouds, also known as 'mother of pearl clouds', are best viewed in high/low latitudes, just before/after sunrise/sunset. They assist in the building of chemicals that destroy ozon. For more information on these clouds, see the WMO Cloud Atlas .

    I decided to research popcorn. Movie theaters did not like popcorn at first, but I think that changed.

    • If there was air in space for sound to travel through the sun would deafening even at 93 million miles away. It would register 195 db. Imagine a really loud train horn blaring everyday, everywhere forever.
    • The last person to see Lincoln's assassination and the last slave in the American slave trade both discussed their ordeals on TV.
    • In the carboniferous period the bacteria responsible for decomposing trees hadn't evolved yet so if a tree died back then it would fall over and stay completely preserved, only being destroyed by animals, fires or other trees collapsing on them (to which we get a portion of our oil from.) This was also the era of giant insects and continent sized forest fires.
    • The shortest war lasted only 38 minutes while one war was canceled due to rain.
    • If you could fold a piece of paper 103 times it would be longer than the observable universe.

    Yeah and the Carboniferous produced much of our coal supply, hence the name which is French for "woah, that's a fuckload of coal."

    People do not like it when I say I am not a good person but I am not extremely unselfish or I forgot the word which means that I think. I am not saying I am an evil person but I am not 100% good either. I am going on a tangent about how bad I am. But basically no one wants to hear me say I am not a good person.

    Some cats do not like being held and will rip up your shirt if you tried. That is Oscar for you.

    Ireland once had it's own old Anglic dialects, with probably some Gaelic influences, called Yola and Fingallian, which are hecka cool names.
