Every wonder what it would take to blow up our solar system?

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

So how much water would it take to put the sun out? Apparently, the center of the Sun is eight billion degrees. So we won’t be broadcasting from there next week!

So water won’t put out the sun due to some reason. I don’t know what but maybe the hydrogen in it. The folks at Yahoo Answers tried to tackle this question.

Well, John W. Weiss, Grad Student in Planetary Science, decided to figure out how big of an explosion it would take to destroy our star system. John starts off by saying, “The answer depends on whether you have a smart device which beams its energy at its targets reasonably carefully or if it is a simple explosion, which will waste a lot of energy since most of it will miss the planets altogether and coast off into space.” Surprise the person asking the question didn’t know that. Moof!

Bottom line, he comes up with the total needed energy to 5.50×1031tons of TNT. If this interests you, then I suggest you read his mini-story. No doubt you will connect with his love for Star Trek.

Were Adam and Eve Giants?

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007


From BibleLandStudios.com:

At first a silly and far out question. However after doing a great deal of research including the reading of 6 books on the origins of Giants I have to repeat the question…were they? There is much evidence of giants throughout history but the problem I’m finding is that most all historians, scholars, authors and theologians over the last 2400 years believe that giants were all the product of evil angels mating with human women which is what they say the Bible means by the Hebrew word Nephilim (fellers, giants), used in Genesis 6. This has turned the idea of giants into the material for fairy tales. Another, slightly more credible theory says that a closer lunar orbit with a smaller moon, had a greater pull thus enlarging animals and man. Still a third believes that there have always been a few giants and a few dwarves on the outer edge of the normal height of any society. Genesis states that there were even societies of giants (see Numbers 13) that lived before and after the flood. So where did they come from?

Here is a very simple solution. In the beginning God created Adam and Eve. He created them in His likeness and image. I believe He created them tall, good-looking and extremely intelligent with the capacity to live forever. The world was nutrient rich and lush (which is why we have such enormous coal beds – formed from the lush, huge plant life before the flood). It was perfect and people were perfect so to speak. After the fall of man, they began to degenerate in size, intellect and lifespan. This is why the fossil record shows giant plant and animal life before the flood and the Bible says man’s lifespan was 900+ years. If life on earth was larger (there were dragonflies with 29” wingspans) back then why could there not be giant humans? Today we live 70-80 years and the plant and animal life is smaller and we are smaller.

Therefore, I believe that there were Nephilim or giants but that they were simply the offspring of our giant parents, Adam and Eve.

I really have nothing to add to this commentary on giant grandpa Adam, except that I’m not following where it says Noah was 12 feet tall.

Nancy Worley compares AL Attorney General to Paris Hilton

Friday, March 16th, 2007

MONTGOMERY — Former Secretary of State Nancy Worley surrendered Thursday and was released without bond on state charges accusing her of using her government office to solicit political contributions in her re-election campaign last year.

The indictment says she used her official position to seek campaign funds or assistance from five of her employees, such as displaying bumper stickers and yard signs and doing door-to-door or telephone bank work.

“It is deeply troubling when a person who was charged with overseeing our election laws is accused of breaking the very laws she swore to uphold,” Attorney General Troy King said in a statement.

Worley, after being booked at the county jail, promptly called the charges “totally political,” brought by a Republican prosecutor.

“Through decades as a public school teacher, community leader, and public servant no one has ever questioned my integrity or commitment to the law,” Worley said in a statement. “Troy King’s political prosecution is his desperate attempt to take the spotlight off of his own checkered ethical record.”

Here’s my favorite part:

“It’s politics in its worst form,” she said of the indictment before driving away from the courthouse.

“For Troy King to lead an investigation questioning my integrity is like Paris Hilton teaching a Sunday School class,” continued Worley.

“Through decades as a public school teacher, community leader, and public servant no one has ever questioned my integrity or commitment to the law,” said Worley.

Nancy, why would anyone question your commitment to the law when you were a teacher?

The Royals - Possibly the best album cover ever?

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

This album cover takes 1st prize for sweetest ever…

The Royals circa 1970s…

There is so much to see in this picture.
- Every member is so unique in his own way. The man on the back left must be the lead singer. Back row in the blue is zeroing in on the lead singers short tie. Elvis Jr. has one sweet shirt on. I would guess the guy kneeling is in prison. You can guess his crime(s).
-The setting of the photo shoot is nice…nothing says 1970s southern gospel like standing amongst the woods and pine straw.

The Back is very sweet too…not just see the guy in the tree, but getting to see the song list. Song 1 on side 2 is “Front Seat Back Seat”. What does that mean. Is that what people said before “Jesus is my co-pilot”? The guy is the tree is definitely demonstrating Song 5, Side 2.

Anna Clifford and her awesome hair

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Courtesy of the SmokingGun, we present to you, Anna Clifford. “The Tennessee woman, 25, was arrested early this morning on a drunk driving rap. According to Memphis cops, Clifford was weaving across the road in a 2000 Chevy when she was pulled over at around 2:30 AM. A subsequent Breathalyzer test showed her blood alcohol content to be .10, above the state maximum of .08.” Anna allegedely celebrated her birthday Sunday.

Seriously, how does that get messed up in the back of the police car?

For a little more on Anna, see the SmokingGun.

Andrea’s Wall Murals can help!

Pretty much this is showing that Jesus cares more about soccer since he’s holding the soccer ball on the soccer field. Also, it’s nice to see that all the athletes are smiling. Either that or Jesus told a funny joke. A good sign of solidarity that all seasonal sport members put on their uniform for this despite some being out of season.

Waffle House grill cook cheat shee

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Oh the secrets of Waffle House cook’s inner circle…


Click photo to enlarge…

“This is a photograph of a Waffle House grill cook’s cheat sheet.

The photographs indicate the way in which a cook marks his orders. These secret plate markers allow a Waffle House cook to simultaneously prepare multiple customer orders at once.

Let me give you an example. If I were to order three scrambled eggs, dry wheat toast, and hash browns, the waitress would face the grill and yell out loud - “Mark: Triple scrambled dry wheat plate.”

The cook would then quickly take a large dinner plate, turn it sideways, and place a tub of jelly upside down at the six o’clock position.

The six o’clock position indicates scrambled eggs, and the jelly upside down means wheat toast. I am not sure how to mark “dry” for the toast, or how to indicate hash browns versus grits.

This chart explains why you would get a packet of mayonnaise with your grilled chicken plate.”
