That simply commemorates the fact that Canadians too glow in the dark. We have to; there's so much dark up here.

I guess we have about the same amount of dark as you, Rob. But I don't know if we glow.

Beyond, what a stunning picture! Stunning - that's it! Set your phasers on stun! (Glad I wasn't on that bridge!)

Wouldn't it be fun if someone found blue mammals?

Yes, yes, I know there are some kind of apes with red and blue faces and genitals... but...

Okmulgee is the city I grew up in until eventually graduating from the local college and moving away. I probably knew this guy. And, if this somehow disabled his ability to procreate, it's probably a good thing. Unfortunately, he probably already succeeded at least once.

Interesting; however, I find that electronics malfunction from time to time>

For instance I find that my computer loses Internet on occasion; and my cable box has to be reset from time to time. Scary in the least!!

There have been times I wished I had one of these.

Technically this shouldnt be hard to make stopp people making sound, if not stop making them talk (that would be induced paralysis, scary)

A device that can detect sound from human voice range 60-7000 Hz or and human hearing range 20 Hz-20 kHz has to create and overlay it by its opposite wave character to annihilate the wave...
take a sinusoidal wave with a delayed one, till both sinusoidal waves result a destructive interference...
the disturbing sound/noise should be gone...and the sound is silence....

or...just use earplugs!

The sound is not only silence, but it is also golden. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyj2qL-bQ4E

Sooo we take the Human-Sound-Mute-Device and choose if we want silence or gold. (The scientific team Tremeloes discovered "Silence is golden")
For silence we can push the Huygens button and with a wave interference, sound is destructed.
For making gold, we draw the human sound (waves) into a box, which is
located under this fabulous machine and we can push the Newton-particle maker button.
Waves turn into particles and a ( not yet explained) transformator makes waves into gold dust.

WOW, Moonlady. I never realized that the Tremeloes were scientists and alchemists. THANKS

Oh yes, having a lot of time as alchemists, they had a part-time job as musician...

I am glad for the lobster, the fisherman could have made a lot of money by selling it, but he didnt, yay!

I didn't know that... they are quite serious about sub-moon, anti-moon , semitransparent-moon and pseudolites! They think that the flag of United Nations is an evidence
for their assumption. I thought at first that it was meant as a joke. They suggest to use aluminium foil for protection by moonlight

The original tin foil hat people, eh? I wonder if they would need any kind of protection against you, Moonlady. You might emit dangerous moonlight, with that name you've got!

I once read that a Flat Earth woman claimed to have proved that the Earth is flat. Yes, because she had traveled by cruise ship from the United States to Australia, and she had seen that the ocean was flat (only disturbed by waves) the whole time!
