The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I'm very excited for this movie on more then one level. First let me explain that Douglas Adams is an awesome writer. Not only does he make you think about things you normally would never think about but he does so in such a humourous way. The movie is going to be incredible too, since Douglas Adams helped write the screenplay. He began it all with the first of the 5-part trilogy of books the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Then, in the late 1970s wrote the screenplay that served as the basis for the movie. Now that technology has caught up with his imagination a movie version is coming out today! Granted movies are never as good as the books but I still can't wait. Sadly Douglas Adams passed away four years ago before he could find a major studio to back his idea.

There is something that I should explain as well since it is by far one of the greatest insights into our world. I don't know how the movie is going to protray this or if it will at all, but I found it really interesting in the book. Humans have always thought they were smarter than dolphins. They invented the wheel and for years have believed that they were the rulers of every animal on Earth. However dolphins have always thought they were smarter than humans for the very same reasons and because they knew that the Earth would eventually be destroyed. The dolphins have made many attemps to try and alert the humans of the impending destruction but their communications were always misinterpreted. One dolphin made one last effort to communicate but it too was misunderstood by the humans. The dolphin did a double backwards somersault through a hoop while it clicked the "Star Spangled Banner." When in fact the dolphin was just saying, "So long and thanks for all the fish!"

EVERYONE GO TO THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY!

Something of special note: The use of animated illustrations that wittily make the most of Adams' digressions and explanations, are hilariously shown throughout the movie. For those who sit through the lengthy closing credits, there's one more of these mini-cartoons, and it's definitely worth the wait.

YouDraw Project

In 1927 the world population was 2 billion. As we enter the third millennium, the planet's population has swelled to 6 billion - less than a lifetime to arrive at 6 billion. That's 6,000,000,000 in case you can't get the picture with words. To realize this astounding number even more, why not contribute to it?

Ha I heard the *snickers*. No! I'm not talking about that sort of contribution. What I mean is that you can participate in a project known as YouDraw. What is it you say? Well prepare for a culture lesson----

Youdraw.com is an exceptionally creative, simple and interactive web site that intends to represent the current, huge scale of humanity. It's an idea to represent the six billion people of the world with personal drawings that will be collected into a series of books to tour the world on display. Louis Paschoud and Ally Cane are the two artists who had the idea.

click here and remember to vote for my drawings!!!


If you were to draw one "stick" person every second, 24 hours a day, it would take 200 years to make 6 billion drawings. This is why YouDraw needs your help. The more people that make a drawing there, the faster we can reach our goal.

Are Black-Holes Just Misconception..?

There is a theory currently under discussion in the Universe Today, that black-holes have been the victim of a common misconception. Black holes are not cosmic vacuums that suck up everything. I was part of the misconcieved because I viewed black holes as truely powerful things that had immense gravitational pull. However I learned that the gravitational field of a black hole is just like the gravitational field of any other mass. If the sun were instantly replaced by a solar-mass black hole (that is, a black hole having the same mass as the sun), the planets would continue to orbit in exactly the same manner: They would not get "sucked in," despite what many people think. What I found interesting is that if our sun were to become a black hole, Earth would continue to circle it, but the gravitational pull of a black hole is only the same as other masses as long as you are not inside its Event Horizon. The event horizon is the point at which nothing can escape. This includes everything from matter to light itself. Other masses have event horizons, that's the reason why we stay on Earth but for things like a black hole the event horizon means that nothing can escape. Earth's event horizon is the point to where things stop orbiting the planet and actually get sucked into it.


Very cool I think. However black holes still remain a mystery as to what they actually are. It is my View that black holes are actually an area in space/time where matter is stripped of it's "TAGS" (spin, charge, polarity) and returns to a spacial condition. In other words I think black holes are anti-matter. As in the book Angels and Demons.

Astronomy Today

Saturn Has Oxygen But No Life.

Summary -
Cassini has discovered oxygen ions in the atmosphere around Saturn's rings, suggesting that life isn't the only process that could produce it. Molecular oxygen, aka O2, is produced here on Earth as a byproduct of plant respiration - animals like us need it to survive. It was previously thought that O2 is so volatile that it needs the presence of life to occur in a planet's atmosphere. But on Saturn, this oxygen is generated and maintained by a reaction of the Sun's radiation and the icy particles in Saturn's rings.

Birthday Party

Today is my 20th Birthday. I thought I would do something special for this blog to celebrate. I call it Birthday Party Games! The first game is called subservient Chicken it's very entertaining sort of Pin the Tail on the Donkey except not. After that exciting game, let's Sumo Wrestle. Phew! That wore me out how about you? let's play some video games to rest. I like this game. Now what fun would a Birthday Party be without girls? If you said absolutely no fun you are right but unfortunatly for you they are all googly eyed about the Birthday boy so here is a game to keep you entertained. I hope you enjoyed my Birthday, but before you leave, no birthday would be complete without some birthday cake. Enjoy!

The French can't do anything right

Jacques LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he decided to commit suicide. He stood at the top of a tall cliff and tied a noose around his neck. He tied the other end of the rope to a large rock. He drank some poison and set fire to his clothes. He even tried to shoot himself at the last moment. He jumped and fired the pistol.

The bullet missed him completely and cut through the rope above him. Free of the threat of hanging, he plunged into the sea. The sudden dunking extinguished the flames and made him vomit the poison. He was dragged out of the water by a kind fisherman and was taken to a hospital, where he died of hypothermia.
