Here's the quick test for figuring out the order (devised by one Captain Jack Sparrow...)

Ask: “Why is the ____________ gone?” substituting each item in the blank.

Now arrange them in the order that makes the most sense.

(“Why is the rum gone? Why are the trains gone?” &etc.)

Oh. And about the moon, and mars looking like they’re the same size, I have two observations:

1.) The statement is correct, assuming you apply the 10 light year rule.

2.) (ducks) Wasn’t it the same folks who came up with the scale of the LGB Genesis? (covers)

If you like rum, you might want to try Gosling’s Black Seal Rum from Bermuda. Mixed with ginger beer (like super strong gingerale and NOT alcoholic) it makes an absolutely addictive concoction called the “Dark and Stormy;” this is the national drink of Bermuda. Add 2-3 shots of Goslings to 6 oz of ginger beer on the rocks. Goes down like water and is mighty tasty.

The Jupideans are endangered!
Oh no! Does PETA know about this? More to the point, what is the White House going to do about it? Open Ellis Island again?

What kind of Rum? I used to drink Captain Morgan but had to give it up because of arthiritis in my right leg. I could not lift my leg up like they do in the commercials. Now I drink the cheaper stuff and don't have to lift up my leg.
Started of on Goddards when I was a lad, but it seemed to have dissappeared from bars down here in Oarstralia, now I drink the local iconic Bunderberg rum, don't know about throwing the leg (does that have a different meaning in good ol' US of A than here in Australia, down here it generally means a bit of hanky panky with your lady-or someone else's!), but I don't wake with a hangover. Would Jupideans be very short, very fat people?
I like the Aussie version of the leg thing better---someone elses lady :) but all that meant was in the TV commercials for Captain Morgan Rum when the rum drinkers do something cocky they cock up their leg. I got arthiritis in my right leg and doing almost anything with it gets rough.

Hi! I thought you’d be interested in this story from Science@NASA: There’s a rumor going around about Mars: It’s racing toward Earth and soon to be as large … as the full Moon? http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/07jul_marshoax.htm?friend

Thanks, Mike, go ahead and pour salt into the wound!

I thought you were my friend! :stuck_out_tongue: :lol: :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

P.S. What’s the story on riding the Hiawatha trail? Any takers beside you and me?
