I have just come across this astounding fact.

The computers that were used in the Apollo moon landings had less memory than the modern mobile phone.

Ok I had to smile, it is of course thanksgiving over here so turkey and American football is the order of the day, so I have just settled down after a huge turkey dinner to watch the Dallas Cowboys vs the Chargers.

The half time show is truly comparable to the super bowl, a massive stage, a full band with lights and hordes of cheerleaders/dancers.

The Hammerettes came to mind and I just started chuckling.

My extended American family did not understand why I found it funny, so I felt that I had to share it with you lot.

According to the Sun (I know) Andrew Flintoff believes the world is flat and its all a conspiracy by Disney and Nasa to make us believe its round ;lol

I was reading that a guy in America is building his own Rocket so he can fly into Space to prove the earth if flat.

My immediate thought was to build a rocket you have to understand the concept of thrust to overcome gravity and then the concept of trajectory to exit the earths Orbit.

I'm not a Rocket scientist but aren't these concepts strongly linked to the fact that the Earth rotates because you know it's round.... ;hmm

IronHerb

But if you believe the world is flat you probably don't believe it rotates. ;doh

I prefer the Hollow Earth theory to the Flat Earth theory. Both are absolute nonsense, but Hollow Earth has two different variations. One is that the world has smaller worlds in it kind of like a Russian Doll situation, and the other is that we are contained within the earth and when we look up to the sky we are actually looking inwards to the core of the earth

If he believes the world is flat then he's probably just trying to build a fast car that he's going to call a rocket because he thinks if he keeps going West he'll just fall into space.

The world may be round, and flat. A circular flat earth .............. so there ;biggrin

I have this strange desire to visit the ArK encounter in Kentucky - look it up, I think I would laugh my head off arkencounter.com

Chicago - John Oliver did an excellent bit about that a few weeks ago

And you might have to soon as it's not making money

The real Noah’s Ark, the one described in the Bible, was huge. It was amazingly seaworthy—a ship that kept the occupants safe during a worldwide flood.

This urge has probably got something to do with a certain team playing this evening, I bet the urge to look at goats and things is strongest between 8pm and 10pm (GMT) this evening. Because at that time I will have the urge to be almost anywhere but stuck in front of my TV. In fact the local WI have their meetings on the fourth friday of every month and tonights meeting includes a talk from Dorothy and Mavis on the pitfalls of crocheting, and other wool based pursuits, in regards to repetitive strain injuries and other hidden dangers. ;hmm

You wouldn't even have to break the speed limit to reach escape velocity from Phobos, Mars' inner moon. Which also isn't flat.

IronHerb

They have cars on Phobos? ;nonono

Expat_Hammer

I always though it was a Ford Focus ;hmm

Ford Phobos ....................... Nah, surely not

chicagohammer

Madcap, the pitfalls of crocheting, often turns into a thumb apocalypse ;wink

Well, you can't expect them to walk everywhere.

And they are very conscientious about the speed limit.

SuzanneClaret

It is indeed flat.

In fact it is shaped like disc traveling the universe on the backs of four giant elephants who stand on a giant turtle.

Kuchinghammer

Ford Focus? Ford Phobos? Ford Prefect, surely. Whenever I use a locker for sport, I always try to get No.42. It's the answer to everything

Adam

Anyone recognise this fella?

I was just watching the F1 grid walk (Abu Dhabi), and had to do a double take!

Martin Brundle just walked past him as if he didn’t recognise him. Pfft.

ASLEFshrugged

Huddersfield one up. Giggle

Nothing to giggle about. If they don't pull this around they'll really want to take it out on us. They should be 2 or 3 up by now.

We had 'axolotl ' as a crossword solution today.

I defy anyone to do an image search and not smile.

Right I need to share a couple of things which irritate me immensely

1) people who wear earphones and listen to music whilst doing an office job

2) people who come in at 9 and then promptly have breakfast at their desks (no doubt using the company’s milk)

I’ll probably find no-one shares my views, maybe I’m old fashioned..

;hmm

MrsGrey

2) I always waited to get to work before I ate breakfast. I did always supply my own comestibles, though. ;biggrin
