        All the more impressive when one considers that you fit 250 shots into those 75 minutes.

        Education is extremely important.

          That is really fast. Were you doing the speed golf?

              Not true, he only had 4 shots!

                  That would be fun, but I haven't tried anything like that yet. That world record of 65 strokes plus 42 minutes was 107.

                  My 75 minutes with 81 strokes would be 156, not really competitive. Maybe if there was an old man competition.

                          I hate when they use photos of other galaxies and call it the Milky Way and of course the location of the solar system is not correct either.

                          But the number of orbits remaining is accurate.

                              Yes, solo. Lately it has been with 2 or 3 other guys. But I had a solo day and decided to speed it up. I think I could get under an hour if I pushed.

                                      One hundred thousand pounds in legal tender bills were issued on April 25, 1759, to be valid until March 1, 1767. This was later extended until October 15, 1769. The Penn family's coat of arms appears on the front of the bill and a nature print is on the back. Benjamin Franklin and David Hall printed the bills in Philadelphia. The spelling of "Pennsylvania" differs on most of the denominations of the notes, and it is thought that Franklin purposely did this to deter counterfeiting.

                                          A (mildly) interesting thread on nuclear waste.

                                          I think it’s safe to say that opposition to nuclear energy is a belief that allows dumb and/or irrational people to publicly and proudly self select.

                                          Education is extremely important.
