Hi Saul,
I was just doing a 10 year retrospective of astronomical postings,
when I came across this one.
It is a forgotten prelude to my Outlandish Astronomical Tables of All
Planets and Pluto.
http://www.groupsrv.com/science/post-2782569.html
You will remember that I said it was a real-time scientific
investigation for the duration of
the thread, which was 42 days long.
Then I posted a copy of my Outlandish Particle Periodic Table Update
VIII. (Ed.)
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/swn...2ec32ce?hl=en#
This was a part-time scientific investigation that took 42 years and
is ongoing.
It makes you think.
Thank you,
Tony Lance

Hi Marcus,
15,000 flying bombs landed on London in 1945, World War II. (V1 and
V2)
15,000 flying bombs then landed on Antwerp in 1945.
15,000 postings, cross posted to sci.chem and three other newsgroups,
had the
subject line Jeehad needs scientists.
The blow by blow of what happened, when I pointed Big Bertha Thing and
pulled
the trigger, is contained on swnet.sci.astro, instead of sci.chem
I have been the primary user of swnet.sci.astro since 1998.
Would you honestly want me somewhere else?
Everyone should have a home.
Thank you,
Tony Lance

Don't bother even trying to understand. I don't think you'll ever will.

Big Bertha Thing memoriam

Tony died raising his best friends family,
His wife needed two helpers, his poor heart and him.
Carer, postman, welder and domino player.
RAF aircraft fitter at Battle of Britain and El Alamain.
Outboxed a voortrecker at middleweight.
Raised trade union branch president and
National officer of voluntary .org
Taught me to keep the faith,
Mend my bicycle and trigonometry.
His story is ended, but not yet finished.

NB (2008)
'The Air Force have been magnificent all through.
We should never have got through the wadis except for their help.
They laid what Tedder calls a carpet for us; all day,
over and over again they came down to ground level ahead of us,
shooting up everything they saw resisting the advance,
and bombing all the anti-tank positions. It was magnificent,
but it was very costly to them because the Germans have plenty of
light flak.
Over and over again in the last few days
we have found crashed Hurricanes and Kittihawks in our advance,
scores of them, some with the body of the pilot still in the seat.
The Germans are resisting desperately;
if we get through to Tunis it will be because
of what these Air Force boys are doing to prepare the ground ahead of
us
and their self-sacrifice.'
Quote from fictional letter by Brigadier Carter-Hayes,
who had just died in Tunisia, about El Alamain.

From the book Pastoral by Nevil Shute
Published by Heinemann in 1944

A computer program, called kaleido (cf. [Ha]) and
publicly available at ,
has been developed to compute the data of a uniform
polyhedron (and its dual)...

Kaleido is also capable of computing the vertex and
face coordinates and displaying a rotating wire-frame
image of each polyhedron.

Big Bertha Thing francis

To my brother-in-law Francis (RIP),
who I once called "as daft as a brush."
To his everlasting credit,
he replied "I know."

The greatest compliment,
my wife ever paid me,
was to say, that I did not hold a grudge.
Net surfers do not hold grudges,
but they are a bit short on victim support,
whichever side the victim comes from.
