Comet 209P/LINEAR plus Camelopardalids Meteor showers…
For a Live NASA Chat on May 23-24, visit: http://go.nasa.gov/1m3Wrn7

.

.

CometISON-Nov14-animationSky-watchers all across North America are in for a treat beginning on May 23 around 10:30 p.m. EDT and continuing into the morning of May 24 — a new meteor shower — scientists aren’t sure yet how many “shooting stars” people may see — but the May Camelopardalids meteor shower may be dazzling with about a one-per-minute rate. The peak of the shower will be between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. EDT May 24th. Meteors will be coming out of the north but will be visible all across the night skies. The central focal point would be from Camelopardalis — the giraffe — a faint constellation near the North Star.

At the same time, debris from Comet 209P/LINEAR will stream across Earth’s orbit on May 24, 2014.

NOTE: these are two events on the same date — the May Camelopardalids meteor shower and the Comet 209P dust trail debris.

There are two more major meteor showers coming up. Look for the Perseids on August 12-13 and the Geminids on December 13-14. There are also several smaller showers throughout the year.

Nostalgia for U2… Where The Streets Have No Name

Where The Streets Have No Name

.

.

I think we’re being shut down!

“Where the Streets Have No Name”
is a song by Irish rock band U2
and the opening track from their 1987 album
The Joshua Tree.

animated.LoveYou“I was just trying to sketch a location, maybe a spiritual location, maybe a romantic location. I was trying to sketch a feeling. I often feel very claustrophobic in a city, a feeling of wanting to break out of that city and a feeling of wanting to go somewhere where the values of the city and the values of our society don’t hold you down. 
‘An interesting story that someone told me once is that in Belfast, by what street someone lives on you can tell not only their religion but tell how much money they’re making – literally by which side of the road they live on, because the further up the hill the more expensive the houses become. You can almost tell what the people are earning by the name of the street they live on and what side ot that street they live on. That said something to me, and so I started writing about a place where the streets have no name….'”

scientism – the universe

Unlike use of the scientific method
as a mode for achieving knowledge, 
scientism claims that reason alone
can render truth about the universe…

Well, I have a sense of humor…

So, here is
my take on it…

The First of
Dark Cheese

DarkCheese.banner.

.
Duncan on your Universe

If you want more Dark Cheese;
go ahead… click away…
watch it till your heart is content at YouTube.

Or you can wait – waiting is good.

ROFL; still…
.
too funny!

In astrophysics and cosmology, the anthropic principle (from Greek anthropos, meaning “human”) is the philosophical consideration that observations of the physical Universe must be compatible with the conscious life that observes it. Some proponents of the anthropic principle reason that it explains why the Universe has the age and the fundamental physical constants necessary to accommodate conscious life. As a result, they believe it is unremarkable that the universe’s fundamental constants happen to fall within the narrow range thought to be compatible with life.

Jokes on: Getting into Heaven

The day finally arrives: Forrest Gump dies and goes to heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. The gates are closed however, as Forrest approaches the gatekeeper. St. Peter says, “Well Forrest, it’s certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must inform you that the place is filling up fast, and we’ve been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The tests are fairly short, but you need to pass before you can get into Heaven.”

Forrest responds “It shore is good to be here St. Peter. I was looking forward to this. Nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. Sure hope the test ain’t too hard; life was a big enough test as it was.”

St. Peter goes on, “Yes, I know Forrest, but the test I have for you is only three questions.

1. What days of the week begin with the letter T? 2. How many seconds are there in a year? 3. What is God’s first name?”

Forrest goes away to think the questions over.  He returns the next day and goes up to St. Peter to try to answer the exam questions. St. Peter waves him up and says, “Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers.”

Forrest says, “Well, the first one – how many days of the week begin with the letter “T”? Shucks, that one’s easy. That’d be Today and Tomorrow.”

The Saint’s eyes open wide and he exclaims,  “Forrest! That’s not what I was thinking, but….you do have a point though, and I guess I didn’t specify, so I give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?” asks St.Peter. “How many seconds in a year?”

“Now that one’s harder,” says Forrest, “But I thunk and thunk about that and I guess the only answer can be twelve.”

Astounded St. Peter says,”Twelve!? Twelve!?  Forrest, how in Heaven’s name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?”

Forest says “Shucks, there’s gotta be twelve: January second, February second, March second…..”

“Hold it,” interrupts St. Peter. “I see where you’re going with this. And I guess I see your point, though that wasn’t quite what I had in mind, but I’ll give you credit for that one, too.” “Let’s go on with the next and final question. Can you tell me God’s first name?”

Forrest replied, “Andy.”

“OK, OK,” said a frustrated St.Peter, “I guess I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you came up with the name Andy as the first name of God?”

“That was the easiest one of all,” Forrest replied “I learned it from the song….. “ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN”

I was feeling frustrated when I began making this page. It helped me to explore my darker side and let resistance go. I hope its an lol post. Hey, life is a box of chocolates — I ought to have thought of that one. It may have saved me an hour of my time. LOL — FYI, I write these posts whenever and this one was begun months ago perhaps… maybe it was 2013 then as I recall. Its good for me to recall for a moment that I am vulnerable. It helps me stay humble and helpful. Some times the body makes us and some times we make it.

Happy Darwin’s Day – Its a day for a natural selection. So, I decided to have a laugh. Laughter is the best medicine as they say. This is my natural selection today.

.

.

My take on it is:
Someone may think Sheldon’s mom is right. Someone else may think its that his friends went to Texas to get him back. Someone else thinks Sheldon can’t make up his mind because he’s a troubled dude so that he follows the pack. Someone else thinks Sheldon realized he misses his friends and love motivated him to go home. Someone else thinks that Sheldon can’t bear the thought of teaching evolution to creationists.

I’m seeing a pattern here… we each live in our own universe and there are in each of these billions of universes, at times, aspects of a shared reality that we more or less agree upon… like its February 12, 2014… oh, someplace it isn’t that day… there we go then.

.

Some say that biology brought out the Darwin in chimps. Apparently, this occurred over the course of many millions of years. I find this difficult but not impossible to believe:

.

Now here’s a RIDDLE
Two guys are walking down the street when a mugger approaches them and demands their money. They both grudgingly pull out their wallets and begin taking out their cash. Just then one guy turns to the other and hands him a bill. “Here’s that $20 I owe you,” he says. Who was making use of natural selection? WHY?

.

Natural selection is no joke.
It’s a theory.

.

Natural selection ought to lead to a
greater awareness of what normal is all about… I thought…

Normal parents

.

Therapy ought to make it right… eventually.

Pushing Buttons

I love it that ocean animals decided to live on land.
I don’t imagine it was good for them.
