Mars increases its time in the sky, rising around 1 AM each night for good late-night viewing.
oh, and i hope this isnt about that rumor saying it will be bigger than the moon. if so, i might come to your house with a tack hammer.
Nah, had seen/read it some where. Supposed to be closer to this earth of ours during August.
(AND, I found an ad for a colon cleanser! Wonder if that will go with the tack hammer, whatever that is.)
You guys are all weirdos. Thank the trees that I found where I belong.

That’s a popular email thing that’s going around.
You mean the people on NPR are just like the talking heads on Fox?? I’m crushed.

How could any logical person with a basic knowledge of science think that Mars would ever appear to be bigger than the moon from Earth?

How can any logical person with a basic knowledge of science think that Mars, Earth and the rest of the universe was created by a magic person in a week 6,000 years ago? Yet, that is most people I see putting messages on my Facebook feed daily.

Because if you do bad things the magic person still loves you for some reason, even when damning you to eternal torment for talking back to your parents. That’s why I like science. No matter what you do, no matter how good or bad of a person you are in relative moral terms, science doesn’t judge.

I know I’m cheating on many levels, but just got this link: it’s hysterical and just makes sense for us non-believers.
