So do I, but unless someone comes up with some kind of immortality treatment, or a working technique for cryostasis, we're probably both out of luck by a few hundred thousand years, or more.

did you changed your post color to orange to match my div style?
I did steal borrow your div-code, but the post colour was a coincidence, I think (unless someone changed it for me).

what the..? what about the italic style on the 2nd quote? it won't work!

EDIT: bohooo!! I've committed a mistake and a whole post (the 1st with new style) is gone! bohoo!! (T__T)
sigh.. ther's no way to get all the links back.. sigh! sorry! (><;)

correction: the only one way is to get it back from the cache of someone who loaded that page in the latest days. If you did it and want to help me recover all those links:

switch the browser to OFF-LINE (there is a firefox extension which do this) and THEN reload this page:

the 3rd post is the lost one.
send me the content of the post via PM.

It's not easy to notice that these two are NOT palindromes. These would be: (Oo?) and )?oO( .

Silly mumbling of the day.

Edit:
http://www.growndodo.com/wordplay/palindromes/ said:
Palindrome-ness is a unary relation! There is no such thing as the "palindrome" of a word or phrase—I prefer the term "reversal." "Stressed" and "desserts" are reversals of each other, and neither one is a palindrome. "Stressed desserts" is a palindrome.
Meh.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4974134.stm
Either BBC has not been keeping up with cosmology, or there's some details to this theory they are not reporting. As it looks like to me, that "new" theory is neither new or unique, and neither does it really "challenge" current theories as they say. There's nothing in the big bang theory that states it was necessarily the beginning of space and time, after all.
This doesn't look too different from the many other M-theory inspired alternatives that have been popping up recently. It is interesting for sure, but hardly new as far as I can tell from that article.

hmm..
As I said I post here the things that I get from some RSS links, even if I don't read them all..
I read some lines to understand what is the topic of the article, and then I read only the things that sound interesting..

In fact I was doubtful too, about that article..

I was thinking just these days that it would be nice to have a simple ABB RSS aggregator to produce an automatic list of space news from the web..
sadly I'm too lazy to code it by myself.. »X P
