I’M THE NEXT POSTER! I’m looking around GQ for credibility issues. All I’m finding is a bunch of stuff about dead cats. I’ll be back at the jogger’s house this afternoon. Hopefully, I’ll collect a draw and go before she can flash me again. **Zebra** , who killed them all. ---

I’m having Hydrogen leakage problems. My Helium isn’t doing too well either. But Sodium? Yeah, baby! Oh, be a fine girl, kiss me. GQ can be really funny sometimes. I had a guy try to correct me about a classic camera question. He was being realy snobby, too. So, I informed him that I have been collecting and repairing classic Leicas for about 25 years, and was actually holding in my hands the very item we were discussing. He didn’t post to that thread again. I didn’t want him to leave, I just hate half right answers by people who only think they know. The President’s Plane Is Missing **Duck Duck Goose** ---

💏 😉 Well, this is it, there I was giving an answer about what the night sky would look like if we were in the centre of the galaxy, and some one comes along and says he’d like an answer from a “real expert”. Luckily **MCMaster of Ceremonies** came in and informed him that I am an astronomer, and therefore as close to a “real expert” as you were likely to get. 😃 **vanilla** ---

Well, actually, it’s a point of view question. All of them are not running away from you. You are also running away from some of them. It’s just that you’re moving faster than the ones behind you, so the distance is increasing, making them appear to be moving away from you. Why is the night sky dark? **Olber** ---
