Guard Dog Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I love this picture. It's looking south from the rim of Endeavor Crater on Mars. Click the link for the hi res version.

majestic Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I don't buy it, probably just somewhere in the Mojave desert. Must be, the Earth is flat and limited by a dome so there's no way this is on "Mars" or whatever the hell. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

rjshae Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The stairs don't actually look all that safe. 65k is crazy, but I can see why you want a professional to build it, and not homeless former mechanic. Yes, I agree. Those are hopeless -- the riser placement is all wrong. In a decade or two that'll be a death trap. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Raithe Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Also, in some movie related but not quite matters... **** Van Dyke Apologises for most atrocious ****ney accent in movie history Movie legend **** Van Dyke has apologised for acting out "the most atrocious ****ney accent in the history of cinema". The 91-year-old star has been chosen by BAFTA to receive the Britannia Award For Excellence In Television. Referring to his role as Bert in Mary Poppins, Van Dyke said: "I appreciate this opportunity to apologise to the members of BAFTA for inflicting on them the most atrocious ****ney accent in the history of cinema." But BAFTA Los Angeles chief executive Chantal Rickards said: "We look forward to his acceptance speech in whatever accent he chooses on the night. "We have no doubt it will be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!" But Van Dyke has a chance to do the "atrocious" accent again on screen as he is set to appear in the Mary Poppins sequel, which stars Emily Blunt and is due for release in 2018. "I get to do a little song and dance number," he said in December. "I gotta be a part of it." Van Dyke's award, which will be presented at the 2017 AMD British Academy Britannia Awards by BAFTA Los Angeles, recognises those whose special talents and appeal have elevated television. 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
