Re: Discoblog: E-focals: Electric Eyeglasses Are the New Bif

Be cool if you could switch them to 3d with the switch of a button. Whats next, XRAY glasses?

Also, its potentially disastarous... if you wear them in a wet climate such as Scotland. ZAAAP.

Re: The speed of light; another perspective.

i think I might have came across wrong. I was thinking more along the lines of time. Like a 3 light year distance to us, might be only a 1 light year distance to another race. I know the speed of light is constant. But your right Rob, it was a wasted bicycle trip because it was only so I could get t...

The speed of light; another perspective.

I was cycling to work this morning and my mind was doing somersaults as per usual and I thought of something quite peculiar and it occupied my mind for the full 10 mile trip to work... Our little planet takes 365 (give or take a day or two) days to orbit our sun, this is known as a year. Simple stuf...

Re: Nuts about spiders?

ooft.

I clicked on that and couldnt bear to look at it for any more than 10 seconds. I could feel myself gettin more and more nervous. I'm alright with little spiders but those big buggers aren't my cup of tea.

Really scary. I couldn't handle a big spider at all.

Camel Spider! WOOOAH. I read a story about one of these that came home in a soldiers backpack from afghanistan. It was the size of a dinner plate and it killed their dog. Not very nice :(. As much as I don't like them, I saw a poor video of a petrified camel spider being forced to fight a scorpion b...

Geckzilla's last post kinda "ticked" me off a bit. Here in the North-East, we have a Black fuzzy jumping spider the we call a "wolf" spider. I don't know if it has a real name or not, but they seem friendly enough and you can kinda play with them. The smaller they are the cuter ...

Re: Nuts about spiders?

Hahahah, great reaction. The cure for spiders is basically mothballs according to the link posted by swainy, beyond.

It apparently makes them run for the hills. However, who wants there house to smell like mothballs? Not me...
