...wouldn't that make it a fishnado? ;-)

I got to "Kinda Smart" and then I had to press the green button "quickly!" and didn't get to it in time. Curse these cold meds!

...the fish spent the rest of the afternoon fanning their fins in front of their faces...

"...from Sydney, Australia (no, not Sidney, Montana)...."

*SNORT!* @ Alex!

Great photos, I'll have to show this to my amateur-shutterbug husband!

Those horses are sooooo beautiful!

Thanks for more shuttle-related coolness, Silent002! My son will probably spend the rest of the evening dancing the "Shuttle Dance" now...and then fall soundly asleep with visions of spaceborne rockets in his head... ^__^

Here's another thought: OK, fine, you're an atheist. If you're content with it, then great.

But why the heck do so many atheists feel the need to be so ugly towards those who are religious? Take the above, for example. Or folks who sue an entire school district because one fellow student had the audacity to bring up God in casual conversation. Or folks who feel the need to eradicate any form of religious text or writing in a public library, just because they don't agree with it. Most folks are willing to get along, to let an atheist be an atheist or a Muslim be a Muslim or a Christian be a Christian, etc.

Heck, the Witnesses just knock on your door and, if refused, they walk away and list the householder as "Not Interested". They don't incite fellow Witnesses to bombard YouTube with spew-filled clips like Flemming is.

Reid: Feel free to drop me an email, I'll be glad to discuss it with you there if you're interested. That way we don't hog Neatorama's bandwidth.

Sounds like that young man just got a cold hard lesson in "Interior Redecorating"...*LOL*

I feel sorry for the fish, though... :-(

The SRB is spinning because of the little rocket that fires as it's being jettisoned, that pushes it away from the shuttle. It causes the booster to cartwheel as it falls to earth, until the drag chutes deploy. (You can tell when that happens because the image goes from "spinning" to "weaving drunkenly"...)

Theists have been showing proof of the existence of a higher being for millennia. We can't help it if people see the movement of the trees, feel the breeze on their face, and still say "Oh but I can't see the wind, so therefore it doesn't exist."

If it's happening in Dubai, it doesn't surprise me. They're resculpting the shoreline to look like date palms and maps of the world, and planting weird skyscrapers everywhere. In less than ten years the city has literally been transformed from a sunburnt desert oasis into a sort of global superVegas!

Here, take a look:

...and by "lucking", I mean "lucky". Curse this sinus infection...

--TwoDragons

That is amazing. I'm lucking if I can make it down my living room stairs without spraining my ankle! :-)

--TwoDragons

I want one for my living room!

Sure, I'd have to make some changes to the house design, seeing as it could fit INSIDE the aquarium and all...hey, that's what scuba gear is for, right? ;-)
