ha - 2 suns? Good timing for my new solar project.

[oly]

Betelgeuse, one of the night sky's brightest stars, is losing mass, indicating it is collapsing. It could run out of fuel and go super-nova at any time. When that happens, for at least a few weeks, we'd see a second sun, Carter says. There may also be no night during that timeframe.

No kidding. I did turn green once. It was in the fall. We were hunting doves and it was the first time I'd ever chewed tobacco. I've blamed those @#$$# doves all these years. I hate the little heathens.

WHY do you people give ANY credibility to the huffington post??????? All the sound scientific articles on the subject debunk the huffing post article.

Because they use little words that are easy to understand.

you should worry about wormwood instead !

all of this scientific banter about the speed of light, what's the speed of dark? Guess it won't matter when Betelguese goes.

Trax! Good to see you around my friend.

BTW...dark is faster than light.

Wow! Free Traxistan must have been in a right mess if you needed to be away this long to straighten it out! It's lovely to see your name on the roster again.

[Rick]

Personally, I think he was off on a conquest of new territories. For all we know Alaska may now be part of Free Traxistan. As the Minister of Science I don't get to go off on these jaunts anymore and I do so miss the whole debauchery thing when capturing new lands. It's tough to get old.

Welcome back, Trax.

thanks all, and yes Winnie, sadly someone tried torching the head offices of Free Traxistan and getting it all re-organized is quite time consuming.

Yeah Hunter you'd better double up on the sunscreen too!

(hopefully you've already rotated through that particular beer inventory)

[Rick]

Now they are saying 5000 years. Tomorrow, 5000 years, Tomayto, Tomahto.
