Just what it says in the subject. Some serious awesome here.

Quote:The picture on the right is the same shot, but this time he connected
the two ISS images
 with a line. Given the size of both the ISS and
Jupiter, it looks like the station flew directly
in front of the planet
from Anthony’s position! Had he taken that first shot literally a tenth

of a second later, he would have had the picture of a lifetime. As it
is, it’s still way cool.

Before I finalize my tentative slotting of the drivers I'm talking about firmly into the 'dumbass' column, I'd like to know if the behavior I've been witnessing is because of cross-cultural gaps rather than actually dumbassery.
On US highways, the convention -- the rule, in fact -- is that you stay right except to pass.  Now, I won't even begin to pretend that Americans follow this rule.  They don't.  However, in general, if someone moves aside to let a faster car go by, they're doing so by moving right.  And they typically stay there, unless they're going faster than other people in the right lane themselves.  With me so far?
However, I've been noticing a lot more cars with Canadian plates on them around these parts lately, and what their drivers tend to do is the exact opposite: they stay in the left lane, and if they move aside for a faster car, they immediately jump back into the left lane... even if the right lane is empty for as far as the eye can see ahead of them.  (Many times they don't move aside and you see a long line of cars moving right, passing the Canadian, and moving left again to pass the slowboaters on the right.)
Is the convention reversed up north?

Peter Keefe, who blended "Go Lion" and "Dierugger" to create "Voltron", died a few days ago.  Link to obit article, but it says very little more than what I've just typed.

I was thinking it would either open a comunication link to the OMG! universe that Doug visited, or allow him to view the universal source code. Any other ideas?

If you like both UNO and Munchkin then you need to Buy.  This.  Game.  NOW!

My family had endless hours of fun playing it when we were guests of some friends for a day or two.  It's like UNO, only you can backstab people just like in Munchkin, or even kill the hand entirely, forcing everyone to tally up their score on the spot.  If you had the right card, though, you could ressurect it.  (^_^)
EDIT: Bumping this, because getting buried in the second page back in about a day doesn't bode well for visability.
