Nothing so mystical. I was thinking about Burning Man this morning, and somehow, Captain Kirk and Spock were both there. I suppose I was imagineering how famous people could get around such magical places, without being photographed. It devolved from them wearing masks, to them riding around with me in my favorite pair of underwear. "No one will look at our faces, if we are wearing fairy dust infused tofu underwear!"

-------------------------
no. we were not all three in my underwear at the same time. I had spare pairs for them.

I went to the library to get a book on unnatural numbers, but someone else had checked out the last copy. I had no choice.

Nah. It's just an illusion of a starting point. His [strike](sur)real[/strike] actual retirement date is ##-\infty##. :smile:

Congratulations! Tell us all about it. :-p

Apparently, Typo Day is also in Spetember.

Edit: Apparently, I don't remember surreals all that well.

OMG!

I'm so bringing leeks on my next boat ride. My friends just bought a new boat.

:devil:

Umm...

On second thought, it's a Boston Whaler.

They would just say; "Let's eat!"

:biggrin:

ps. Thank you LisaB. That made me laugh too. :)

People can check the temperature at the South Pole online. Post when your local temperature is colder than the South Pole (which has actually happened a few times this winter).

Interesting! :smile:

I just checked the site, and it says,
Wind: 7 mph from 50° Northeast​
I wonder what the 50° Northeast part means. :rolleyes:

:smile: Good point. Wouldn't the wind blow from the Northeast and to the Northeast simultaneously?

At the South Pole, grid north conventionally points northwards along the Prime Meridian.[1] Since the meridians converge at the poles, true east and west directions change rapidly in a condition similar to gimbal lock. Grid north solves this problem.

Probably has to do with the station not being exactly at the pole?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amundsen%E2%80%93Scott_South_Pole_Station

Nope, its the grid north:
Nathan Tift FAQ
Wouldn’t every direction there be North? How do you give each other directions?

We certainly can’t give directions here like everybody else does. For instance, to go out to the MAPO observatory from the Dome, one would have to walk South and then North without ever turning because they would pass right by the Geographic South Pole. Fortunately, we rarely have to give each other directions because our station is so small and the nearest place that anyone would want to go to is over 800 miles away!

If someone does talk about things being North or South here, they are most likely referring to what we call 'Grid directions' as in Grid North and Grid South. In the Grid system, North is along the Prime Meridian or 0° Longitude, pointing toward Greenwich, England. South would be 180° Longitude, East is 90° and West is 270°. It's actually quite simple. Meteorologists like myself always describe wind directions using the Grid system. It wouldn't mean much to report that the wind at the South Pole always comes from the North!

Google is broken...

All I get are TED videos... :mad:

Does anyone remember the song, with the premise:

"If (in your opinion) I'm so messed up, then why are you following me?"
