Well, I _met_ Jon Pertwee and he signed his 8x10 photo for me. 😛 Now I’m working on getting the signature of Phlox’s Pyrithian Bat. ---

No. I’m keeping my promise to myself. I am never posting to an ENT thread. Not even to reveal that Bakula bared his right breast to me. Nope. Not me. ---

Ripped Shirt Kirk still beats Bared Nipple Quantum. ---

> [@Corner Case](#): > > Can you forgive me if, instead of helping you on that down payment for a Green Orion Slave Girl, I arrange for a star of a signficantly lesser magnitude to bare its breast on international TV? Sure! Just remember that the lower a star’s magnitude is, the **brighter** it is. 😛 ---

**tracer** that was Great! And I found [this](http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/stars/magnitudes.html). Replace “star” with “Star” and see how it reads. 😃 > [@](#): > > The apparent magnitude of an object is the “what you see is what you get” magnitude. It is determined using the apparent brightness as observed, with no consideration given to how distance is influencing the observation. Obviously the apparent magnitude is easy to determine because we only need measure the apparent brightness and convert it to a magnitude with no further thought given to the matter. However, the apparent magnitude is not so useful because it mixes up the intrinsic brightness of the star (which is related to its internal energy production) and the effect of distance (which has nothing to do with the intrinsic structure of the star). Ah, how distance influences our view of a Star, with no further thought given to the matter. We do seem to mix up the intrinsic with distance. ---

Is there a thread around here for “Strategem” ? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-proving-ground-spoilers/225409.md?page=8)
