This page is dedicated to science non-sense. Not that there might be some theoretical physicists out there or anythings. Anyway I would just like to pose a question:
What is a RHOMBUS anyways? It's not really a square, it's like a parallelogram that has equal sides
. Does that mean that it should be more special then the parallelogram? Hold more honour? I say NO! It's just like saying that a square is really just a rectangle that has equal sides. POSH!
Or even that a circle is really a square, now really!
Aerospace Engineering!!!
I have always been interested in controlling things obviously out of my power. These included such things as the sun, a certain italiano friend(AKA Anti-christ), small children (to repel them), IBM's, atomic power (how do you know i already haven't? MUAHAHAHAHAHA), government functions, free food, black holes, quantum tunneling, Fox television, human space exploration, high voltage current... and the list goes on.
Fortunately for me, many of these fall into the catagory of aerospace engineering. Although the dream will always be to become a theoretical (censored) and thus have quantum improbability at my side, I have decided that engineering is considerably more practical in that vaguely human characteristic of the physical world. Perhaps money? Perhaps, but with quantum improbability, I could make dogs appear out of cereal boxes...
Anyway... to this end, I enrolled in the local Co-op program. I went in with high hopes only to have them crushed.. well that is another story. Regardless of this fact, I would just like to provide my one sheet hand out that I gave out at my co-op presentation. It actually was a worthwhile experience (again another story). My board was also a hundred times better, and flowing with many and large Simpson quotes and song lyrics as well as much of my best rantings.
ENJOY... maybe... ahh.. who cares? I played games on the computer I "borrowed".(and I'm ranting again)

Just recently, in scotland, a group of scientist succeeded in cloning... you guessed it! SHEEP!!! MMYYYAAAAA!!!!(ZARTOK... yes.. it is working..nod.. smile)In doing this, they have unwittingly fallen into the plans of the almighty Zartok, king of the large goats, eater of the meadows..(continued rantings)
Is this playing god? I believe that this is an incredible step in all research and a rise in the quality of life. That is, if it is used properly. We could quite precievably end up in a society of clones (like Japan). Of course, I, you, and everyone else we know right now will probably not live to see that day for various reasons (Burger King being one of them)(and me being the other).
There is much good to come from this also, like spare body parts for everyone and good clean blood for transfusions and so on.
Unfortunately, we are not at the point where we can select which organs to clone, but it is close, I can feel it in my bone marrow. I would like to talk more, but I can't because of space and time constraints. But, if you want to play god, or am Alan Mosby, please try the cloning machine accessed through the sheep below :

Pioneer 10 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
The NASA Space Probe Pioneer 10 celebrated it's 25th birthday recently, and I just wanted to note it on this page.
The space probe is right now 6.1 billion miles away from the earth and is hurtling along still at 28,000miles per hour.
The space probe is the first man made spacecraft that ever exited the solar system, and is still operating with it's plutonium batteries.
Although only 6 of it's 11 instruments are working and it can only power 2 of those, it is a symbol of workmanship that just doesn't seem to exist anymore in the American space program.
It exceeded all expectations and lived well past it's 21-month expected lifetime. It also carries a interstellar post card that was created by the late Carl Sagan.
On it, it depicts the solar system, a crude form of math, the picture of the hydrogen atom, and among other things, two weird looking creatures
that are indigenous to the planetary system.
The pioneer series of space probes would eventually lead to the Voyager class space probes that would also go on to exceed all expectations.
And then, there came the mars observer. I particularly like the press release from TRW (makers of the pioneer) and how they pointed out that their
thrusters didn't fail due to a simple heater that is "incorporated in all spacecraft made by TRW...". They even go so far as to point out that they
payed particular attention to the fuel lines. HA!! NASA must be banging their heads very hard against some immovable object right about now.
Anyway, I would just like to take this opportunity to salute good old Pioneer 10, your era was a great era when people had dreams and visions,
and when people had the drive and money to make them come true. May your journeys in the emptiness be not lonely (due to alien life) for where ever you go,
you take us with you.
There is a layer of space junk that orbits around the Earth. It consists mainly of used satellites, garbage, and more garbage. It is through this, our own stupidity, that the rest of the galaxy is saved. It is a defense shield that protects the rest of the galaxy from the stupidity, and disease that is humanity. It also prevents comets and meteors from prematurely splitting the planet open so as to let loose the human infestation, yet is weak enough to let a REALLY BIG ONE through. WHAMO!
Thank you
Any questions?
