Interesting, but I guess those objects are moving at the same speed in the same direction? Or are there objects moving faster than others, therefore creating a danger of rear ending each other? I like that! =0] 40 TONS of mass per day? Holy cow! Is there some sort of exchange? In that I mean, is the atmosphere losing mass in other ways to balance out this accumulation? Incredible!

I was watching a TV show on the History Channel this morning about Black Holes. It seems to me that scientists are jumping the gun a bit about their theories of space. Maybe I am too ignorant of scientific data, but the Hubble is not a running video, right? It only takes photos now and then of space, ours and the outer. So, if it captures a photo of some blob out in space, how does a scientist decide that its a Black Hole? Now, lets apply this Black Hole theory to Star Trek. If thousands of Black Holes are supposed to be all around us and you cant really see them and their event horizons are a toilet bowl of suction for anything closer than the distance between us and the Sun, how is it that a Starship can fly in a straight line at any speed and not be sucked into one of them or at least skim across one and effect that part of space in some fashion?

ROFL! =0] Will, you are so silly.

Yes, my thoughts exactly! People are so interested in what a scientist might say and they just readily believe whatever they "prove" out of a petri dish or think they're seeing through a microscope. Jim Garrison said that, "Scientists can prove that an elephant can hang from a cliff with his tail tied to a daisy. But, use your eyes, common sense." Of course, he was referring to ballistics, but the same can be said about any scientist. They'll keep shoveling us bull until we say, "Would ya shut up, already? PROVE IT."

Oooo, I've got to get on that right away. I wonder if they can bundle it with my car insurance? Interesting points, Tach. I was also wondering about Black Hole activity. For example, do they continually spin? If so, is it a fast rotation? Or, is it slow, or slower, like the Earth? Does it collect material quickly? Is it actually a hole in space or is it like a tornado? Are they miles across or as big as our galaxy? See? These are the weird things that pop in my head when I watch these science shows. But, at least it doesn't keep me up at night...yet. =0]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that term, "Gravitational waves" Is it really possible that space doesn't change over days, months, or even years?

Cat: "Oh man. If he scratches my head and offers me a treat, its Fur Coat Razor Blade time!" or Cat: "We are not amused. No, we are NOT amused!"

Close as I can find... But, look at this guy! No steroids here, right? Speaking of muscles, how about a 50+ pound lobster!

Yes, the elephants plans to distract his keepers, unlock the back gate to his habitat, and tip-toe out of the zoo were carried out to the letter. They were brilliant! But, even as he looked over the bus ticket he had purchased online under an assumed name, he realized he had overlooked one small detail...

Batman: OK, this game of capture the flag is just getting way out of hand. Or Ill give him another 10 minutes at his poker night and then send him a text. He can't have THAT good a hand!

All my favorite books are usually TNG and are written by Michael Jan Friedman. I really enjoy his style of writing, because I feel it is close to my own. But, of his books, I really enjoyed "Kahless", "Relics", and "All good things". I like them too because he really knows how a character would respond to any situation: he knows the characters well. Did you know he helped write some Star Trek episodes? Im not sure which series, Im thinking Voyager, but I could be wrong. Also, if you plan to attend Shoreleave East this year, you will have a chance to meet him. He attends, and in fact helps create, the convention and is quite visible and always approachable. =0]

Those shirts are so neat. Great job on the logos, group! =0] I would love to order a shirt, A9, but there are too many choices!

...If you can relay all that will occur in an episode after only just seeing the opening scene, even before a single word is uttered.

Better he chose the rented touring tiger who lacked sleep rather than the one who had yet to eat lunch!

Awesome, Jami! I just love the Baltimore convention, it's the only place to have our official Shore Leave. Las Vegas just costs too much money. Thank you for bringing back Baltimore! I will have to have a chat with my husband and see if he wants to return this year. We went last year and had a blast! Hope to see you all there! =0]

I find the Star Trek realm so interesting. So many actors/SIMmers play half races, its so weird there are still prejudices in this world. My last character was mostly human, but one quarter Romulan. See what I mean?

A9: :: on stage, speaking some sort of scientific Trekkie mumbo jumbo:: Crowd: ::completely confused:: Man with out stretched hangs: FINALLY! Someone who speaks my language! ::begins to cry, takes another drag::

This pilot just HAD to see the lobby remodel one more time...

Thats OK, Fitzy. I hope you get it all straightened out. Unfortunately, this next SIM atleast, will be my last one. The plot might run over until the next week, but maybe not. It was great gaming with you. As with everyone else, I will check in on the boards now and then, maybe I will catch you around. Take care. =0]

OK, so I guess we are waiting on you, Huff, as runner up! =0]

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ship the Arcadians were hoping for a return home trip. For a short time before, through a mysterious Force, the ship had been thrown into a parallel universe. The stars now being charted by Aaron and Zen are inhabited by beings related to R2D2 and Anikan. The crew had no fear with their security on board. With Will and Thoros in charge, confidence soared. Dacotah and Loami took charge of the quest and encouraged the crew to do our very best. Vec kept busy keeping the operations true while Merri watched over the sanity of the crew. Same'j at helm kept the destinations in line while Dana and Katherine were biding their time. In engineering, our heroes Fitzgerald, Naara, and Ryan were busily keeping our starship a-flyin'. Andrea Knollwatcher, with Miranda and Ty, were strengthening their friendship as the time slipped by. At the end of their mission none to fear, but instead visions of the homestead danced in their heads. So, their rescue mission over they'll pack up one and all and the Captain will comm "Prepare to dash away, all." Away they will go And warp into the night rearin' to go, headed for sure strife. And we'll hear them exclaim as they fly out of sight "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good fight!" Merry ChrisMoose, everyone. And a very Happy New Year. =0] Teresa (Knl's player)

Well, I did my usual traveling to this house and that one. But, my fiance' got me a really cool CB radio for my car this year. Now, I can chat with the truckers again, something I really miss. =0]

That was...really stupid.
