Space: Did You Know That #21

[Robert Bruce]

Did You Know:

•   Did you know the longest possible eclipse of the sun is 7.31 minutes
•   Did you know Halley's comet passes the Earth every 76 years. The next time it will return will be 2062.

....and when the comet comes back, Mike Alexander volunteers to do the braai and drive the courtesy bus to pick up and deliver all you (now still young) old fogies back to your retirement homes!

[Michael Alexander]

We shall be all long gone Bro. Bruce..... save for old Aunty Diane whom shall be pickled in all the booze that she has consumed for the last 150 years....

[Robert Bruce]

Haahaaa I shal bequeath her a tin of 3in1 oil to repair the Zimmer frame squeaks!

[Michael Alexander]

I had this in mind for Diane

[SandyB]

Thats our Diana  at  a ripe old age ....

[Michael Alexander]

Wait for it.... Wait for it.....

watch this SPACE>>>>>

[SandyB]

Dead men walking us two ..

[Robert Bruce]

To get the response you two were anticipating from Di, you need to saw 2cm off the leading right leg of the Zimmer frame so that itleans and subsequently steers in a long arc to the right and eventually bumps into the SPACE FORUM!

A bottle of 2009 Merlot to be consumed en route helps Di to keep the curve to the right going in the right direction. Right? Got it?

3 dead men walking ...

[Robert Bruce]

Well, now seeing as how the Dead Men Walking club appears to be in a period of growth, who else would like to add their 20 cents worth and be bestowed with membership of the honourable but woefully sad Dead Men Walking club?

Anyone?

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

   I have a club...a club of men...dead men but men none the less.  I suppose at 150 and pickled I don't look to bad. At least I get to see the comet while swigging my bottle of Shiraz
