I have never seen the big dipper under polaris. What latitude was the photo taken from? Based on the assumed horizon from the picture, I’d say it’s 40-something North. At such a latitude, those constellations would be visible in that portion of the sky during the Summer and Autumn months. Specifica...

SOLD -------------- For sale is a Kerry Optima tunable low E. This is my second low whistle to go through. As with my first one, I thought I'd use it, but it just ended up collecting dust instead (I guess low whistles just aren't my cuppa tea.) It's in excellent condition (I purchased here from JTC...

I have never laughed so hard at something not intended to be funny.

Based on the seller's other items, I'm guessing that he/she acquires items from garage/yard/rummage sales, and then sells it on eBay considerably marked-up. Is the seller intentionally trying to sell a fake Freeman tweaked whistle as the real thing? I doubt it (he/she probably isn't aware of the dif...

http://mathew.myrupfamily.com/images/apollo_11_thumbnail.jpg This is a 360-degree panorama picture I made a few years ago. --- I'm sure most people couldn't care less about the details behind making the image, but I'll post it anyway (I figure at least Denny can appreciate it. :)): Originally I was...

The relatively large size of the Curiosity rover cannot be fully appreciated from the video alone. In viewing the video, I think people tend to see it as something the size of the original Sojourner rover. As you can see in the image below, the Curiosity rover is the size of a small car and not a ra...

I voted "no." I use my measuring cup solely for tap water. I throw it in the dishwasher every 1 to 2 weeks only to clean the hard-water line that forms (and not for sanitary reasons.)

If you can find a recipe calling for such water, the terms of the discussion can be revised.

LOL!

[SOLD] I purchased this whistle directly from Nick Metcalf (on eBay) for $150 less than a year ago. I haven't played it as much as I thought I would (I'm more of an alto and soprano whistle guy.) It has a nice dark green iridescent/metallic paint job. However, many of the Celtic-knot and dragon dec...

I'm whoozy. Pronounced "huh-wooozy" or "fwoozy." Kind of like Wheat Thins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX8-5hU1cr8 Here's another one of Stewie. In referring to Wil Wheaton, Stewie not only pronounces "Wheaton" as "Hweaton," but he pronounces the H -less &...

For you folks from the British Isles, what is the consistency of clotted cream supposed to be? Thickness - and consistency -wise, is it closer to sour cream? Refrigerated butter? Room-temperature butter? It's not readily available in the USA (except at specialty import shops [where it's way over-pri...
