Personally, I'm waiting for the Space Escalator.

Please stand to the right...

raven_albion September 24 2008, 13:15:24 UTC

That's one heck of a long escalator...

aslowhite September 24 2008, 14:27:43 UTC

Yep. Just imagine sliding down that handrail...

No problems with the slide--it's the landing that'd be a little questionable.

You *had* to make me think about that again... mseuphrates September 24 2008, 07:07:02 UTC

*sigh* They were talking about the stonehenge stuff on CNN (or was it MSNBC? I lose track...) this morning, which we were watching after the 3 hour DVR'd Heroes marathon was done (yay! Heroes!)...unfortunately I really didn't *hear* much of what they were saying 'cause m'lady was arguing with the TV the whole time. *headdesk* I think we've actually uncovered one of Euphrates' elusive "pet peeves" that she generally denies (to herself even) that she has...

Yeah, I'll work on it.

Wait, you were arguing with the nooz, or with Heroes?

I have to admit I don't watch much TV nooz anymore--partly because we don't have cable/TV, partly because I can't hack the lying or the incessant commercials. (We do have a television, but it is a box upon which we watch movies.)

I wasn't arguing with anything. :) But it was the nooz. :) (Growing up, if you BREATHED wrong when my dad was watching the news, you'd better run and hide...the whole talking back to the TV thing drives me batty). :)

Ah, that makes more sense. I argue with the news all the time; unfortunately, that doesn't change what's said or printed. OTOH, fortunately, the chances of us watching the news together are vanishingly small. :)

On guy's thoughts on how they coulda built Stonehenge:

With videos of him moving concrete DamnHugeBlocks with levers and other clevernesses that FolksBackThen could thunk up too.

I'm not sure what's up with my language. *shrug*
