Ignore this... I was in the process of picking out some humor I thought a
friend would enjoy and accidentaly sent it back here instead of to him..... -- Dan Braasch "Scutter" wrote in message ... Thought you might enjoy these..... -- Dan Braasch ------------------- Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are going camping. They pitch their tent under the stars and go to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night, Holmes wakes Watson up: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you deduce." Watson says, "I see millions of stars and even if a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like Earth, and if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life." Holmes replied: "Watson, you idiot, somebody stole our tent." ------------------- YOU KNOW YOU'RE A DEEP SKY PERSON WHEN... 1. ... you consider the moon a major annoyance. 2. ... you consider Jupiter 'light pollution'. 3. ... you spend most of your time looking at or for objects you can barely see. 4. ... your favorite objects are objects you can barely see. 5. ... you enjoy looking at faint fuzzies with the smallest possible aperture. 6. ... you enjoy looking at faint fuzzies with the largest possible aperture. 7. ... you like to choose objects that are easier to imagine than to see. 8. ... your observing schedule demands that you search for objects in twilight. 9. ... you keep thinking that if only the stars would go away, it might really get dark. 10. ... you wonder how your favorite objects missed getting included in the New General Catalog or the Index Catalog. 11. ... you're not sure that anything in this solar system counts as astronomy anymore. 12. ... you're amazed that anyone needs artificial light to read charts. 13. ... you could do a Messier Marathon from memory, if you still bothered with Messier objects. 14. ... you can read all the NGC abbreviated visual descriptions without using the key, but you have to be careful not to cheat by just remembering what things look like. 15. ... you view a major earthquake as an opportunity for a close- in dark-sky star party. 16. ... you welcome (and have even considered instigating) power outages, but only if they occur on clear moonless nights. |
