joke time
RE: joke time
Speaking of humans on the Moon:

Not a joke, but an interesting (I think) observation.

There are now six American flags on the Moon. In that hostile environment, unshielded from the solar glare, the nylon flags are now bleached white, according to experts. They may even be disintegrating. The Apollo XI flag was definitely knocked over by the ascension engine exhaust.

Title 36, Chapter 10 of the US Flag Code contains the following provisions:
Quote:§173. Display and use of flag by civilians; codification of rules and customs; definition
§174. Time and occasions for display

   ( c) Inclement weather

   The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all weather flag is displayed.

§176. Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

   (b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
   
   (e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.

Inclement carries the meaning "unpleasant, especially with cold wind and rain." While of course there is no wind or rain on the Moon, I think the conditions there could be regarded as rather unpleasant.

I wonder - as an independent civilian arm of the Federal government, can NASA be brought to book under the Flag Code?

A mate of mine was recently sacked from his job as a calendar maker.  Seems a bit harsh - all he did was take a day off.

How many Redskins owners does it take to screw in a light bulb?

It doesn't matter, you have to have an owner first.

Ah, nobody's laughing at you feeling depressed, Cyberman. I see Thump extended an invitation to PM if you need to talk and I am too. I think it's safe to say that everyone here wants you to be ok.

But God has abandoned all of us by not revealing himself to us.
Shouldn't we all be depressed?

Yesterday I saw a male Great Dane mating with a female Chihuahua.

Or, perhaps, the Great Dane was just using the rat dog as a condom.

Definitely. So you see, Cyber my man, a whole lot of people love you so you must be doing something right.

Your life is worth fighting for. You had to fight just to get to life. Did you know when a man ejaculates, he releases 400 million sperm and only one of them gets to fertilize the egg. From the time I got to AF I've been glad that one was you.I'll fight. If you don't cheer up, I'll come to the UK and kick your ass.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
