At least I can say I tried. Yes, me, sorely. I know I shouldn't but I couldn't resist. I had it all sussed - how the Sun goes round the earth every day and the stars do the same but different yet somehow the same and the planets entertain us by going backwards every now and then. Then up pops this theoretical geezer from the 18th century and says stop observing and, wow, my scope broke into a million shards, even though I hadn't finished paying for it. And then this other geezer said e=mc squared and the guarantee ran out. So that's it. Astronomy is dead or a load of what Mr Lawrence calls carp and all that's left is paedastronomy or the corruption of children with false clocks. Still it's more fun than footie.

He's slightly more excitable than I remember them to have been though. Generally they didn't start swearing and insulting you unless you dropped something. Now you are probably too courteous to figure out that this is contrary to Kipper lotion as the Earth travels slower when it's relatively faster on two orbits than it's inclination and Thuban was the true pole star of degrees of circumpolar distance. You dumbass! ;-) But you would say that you sickening fool because you've swallowed all of Nelson's lies about gravy. That's probably why Selsey is always getting flooded. But YOU can't grasp the basic fact that it's on the edge of the world so the rain clouds have nowhere else to go until the rest of the planet circumvents the equatorial tilt and starts going back the other way while everyone is sleeping. You crazy astronomy man. You probably eat children! Ta dah... I can talk his language too - aka bollox. It's actually quite good fun. Tim |

Is a standard troll like a standard metre?
Tried his best and couldnee muster A theory of rotation that wasnee flawed So they put him back in the bottom drawer And waited a couple of hundred years Then dragged him out to express his fears That his original troll had been half mast But he'd been soundly beaten from first to last For marks he's not worth that 3 out of ten He was more like a flatfish when we'd finished with him.

wrote: Astronomers you ain't,that much is certain.Even if you hijack the title and others do not notice you are little more than cataloguers. An astronomer has the final say on what works and what does'nt,the very fact is that my astronomical heritage is in the hands of a bunch of mathematical freaks who could'nt make an observation to save their lives let alone distinguish between perceived motions from Earth and actual motions. Powerful telescopes supply more data but they are worthless in the hands of theorists and it has been that way for centuries.Passing on Newton's empirical illness to future generations assures that astronomy will eventually die in all but name for the theorists have left you nothing left to observe. Good enough for people who have no standards , no sense of the scale and majesty of the cosmos and no way to pass that on to future generations. Poor Grammar : Hey, ****emonger, the mote in his eye, perhaps. Why the capital "G" in "Grammar"? * for the theorists have left you nothing left to observe : Wow, tautology, that's cool ! IMNSHO not an example of tautology. Unnecessary repeated word != tautology. 3/10 for Grammar, It's that capital "G" again. +1 for the tautology, which I rather enjoyed, 0/10 for making any sense whatsoever ! So you're giving him a lowly 3 for his poor grammar, but adding 1 point back again for his "tautology"? Whatb sirection are you going? Do you know? I needn't say more.

Within this context, no apology is needed to poets, it is much better than
any of Gerald's nonsense. Clear Skies Chuck Taylor Do you observe the moon? Try http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lunar-observing/ Are you interested in understanding optics?
