You, are the devil...

But, it's interesting. Marcus and I were joking about possible lifeforms on Ceres the other day. I thought they might be tiny little Moby inspired creatures. Marcus predicted that they'd be trees.

Given the simulation provides only the moon's gravitational field as the minimum, and having watched several generations, I've decided that he is probably correct.
Mobile surface creatures would soon find themselves in orbit, IMHO.

But, then again, from my experience with "humble opinions"...

Escape velocity of Ceres = 510 m/s = 1140 mph​

Ok. Maybe they wouldn't launch themselves into orbit.

I am fascinated by biology. I wish I was good at it - I have so much respect for folks like Ryan_m_b! Meanwhile,

I had a random thought.:D
What if there was an eccentric person posting on a particular thread by himself all the time(nobody other involved). He raises a question by himself and after some time a answer clicks to him and he is so eccentric, that he is posting the answer in his thread himself.
Are there any instances of this in PF?

Ryan-m-b is a biology bear but I only don't like the guy in that he always seems careful about what if his ideas might be stolen by public community so he doesn't seem to share with everyone.

NFL fans, especially those of the Seattle Seahawks, will be talking about this game for along time.

Meanwhile - in New England, Oh, oh - "Deflate-gate report: 11 of Patriots' 12 game footballs were under-inflated"

An underinflated football is more grippable.

I know it's not funny that someone got killed, but...

"A construction worker was killed and a tractor-trailer driver injured when an interstate overpass undergoing demolition collapsed in Cincinnati" [ref]
​

Isn't it kind of to be expected that something will collapse when you are demolishing it?

Yeah it is expected, but it might be that the construction worker and tractor driver might be showing some dare.
How come Rafa Nadael is coming in 4th photo of your link? I think he might be involved in bribing these people, the way he is smiling :D.
Referring to my 484 post, can anybody answer it?

This usually happens when crackpots post on PF, the posts are known as Fruit Loops. :)

Today, Neal Stephenson posted a FB post about "Lord Timothy Dexter".
The story reminded me a bit of several Twilight Zone episodes, all twisted into one, with strange happenings, everywhere.
One bizarre thing, was a reference to "Coal to Newcastle".
I knew I'd seen it before, but couldn't remember where.
Fortunately, I'm both unaware of how to google FB, nor ambitious enough to browse it, and found it here:

Giving books away to the crowd who hang out around here is not unlike "carrying coals to Newcastle."

It would appear, that the little grazny pig made a profit, by carrying coals to Newcastle.

I took a work related training course last week, studied for the last 5 days and scored well enough on multiple practice exams to easily pass the certification exam.
I passed the certification exam today by the barest of margins.

Saw a guy today blow through a stop sign at 40+ mph in a 25 zone while talking on the phone. I'm sure that he had a nice conversation with the policeman that drove after him.

I was making myself tea and some boiling water splashed on my abdominal area... It hurts. I don't like this feeling I am feeling.

Wow, I hope you will learn from this and be more careful. The presence of hot liquids requires heightened attention. It's true in the kitchen. It's true at Yellowstone.

Yes. Next time I will keep my distance from the pot. LOL! Yellowstone.

It has been a little more than 12 hours and it doesn't hurt anymore. Red is gone and pain too. There's a little feeling if I touch the skin area that was previously red, but it is very faint. I'm happy now. :)

...Sighing...I realize how difficult English language actually is when I can recognize how people handle their arguments just soo well in response to others'. As always I really like it. :)

Anyone knows why the war e.g between Ukraine and Russia took place ? I read the news and watch TV too but when it happened, I then know it happened but I never know the reason why it happened. I tried to backtrack the cause but found none. Should I vote for which party to follow ?

 

[zoki85]

There's a war between Ukraine and Russia? I didn't know that

 

[Lizabella]

I think Russia has a war with Mexico instead.

There's a related thread it in the Current Events subforum.
