And they probably work for pharma making new drugs to treat or control JD...........

That mega jug will cost you $5.99 in philly. They placed a new beverage tax on high sugar drinks. This new tax was slated for a pre k schooling. But what for it!!! In the 11th hour of Election Day city concil voted to change where the funding would go! City wide pre k lost out. Anybody like to guess where these funds go? concil pension!

Welp! If you can't find "Dark" matter in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where are you going to find it???

[Tom Dempsey]

Why don't they turn out the lights, that far underground they'll be surrounded by dark matter.

Yup. But if one wanted to try and didn't have access to those environs, on an exceptionally clear night, drive to where there is not even the hint of city-lights - not even a glow or halo - get out of the car, lie on your back, flat on the ground (or on your vehicle's roof, if you're finicky), shut up, arms out to your sides like on a crucifix (I'm not sure why that helps), and look straight up. Look. And look. And look. And open-up. Then, you will see, and it will be beyond - far, far beyond - words, all that is there, likely, theoretically, actually, in-faith, and imaginatively.

I can remember doing that in the late 50's and early 60's and it was awesome. Watching for signs of anything in the sky.

When the early satellites hit the skies that was even better. If one kid spotted a satellite the whole neighborhood knew of it in minutes.

....and then you:

(1) Get beamed up by aliens to check that your tracking chip is working;

(2) Get eaten by a bear;

(3) Fall asleep and get eaten by ants and other insects....

(4) Find Elvis

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Well, now, good ol' Rufybabes, that bear part does give me pause (paws )

Could also be attacked by a flock of flying squirrels.........

Rufus,
Who/what now? You look like a warty bald head.

Those are the eyes in the back of my skull - keeping a few eyes out for where I've been and to see who is sneaking up on me.....again.

[rogruth]

Wow! If you still have all of those eyes in the front of your head how do you get any sleep?
