You love small, wrinkly, swamp-dwelling masters too I think.

Has anyone got my last one yet?

That was quick. Well done. Sall we leave your quote till this evening, and give brother Gayboot a chance. He thinks dad may have been chewing the cables again.
Speaking of whom, he's gone very quiet, I remember he did the same after last years moot. I have strange visions of him in a cocoon hanging in a cellar in France, and regenerating. (Shudder.) It explains his longevity.

I admire it's purity. A survivor. Unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

On account of having to be in the west midlands by eight o'clock tomorrow morning, here is tomorrows space factoid.


Karl Ludwig Harding
Asteroids discovered: 1, 3 Juno September 2, 1804

Karl Ludwig Harding (September 29, 1765 – August 31, 1834) was a German astronomer notable for having discovered the asteroid 3 Juno.
Biography

Harding was born in Lauenburg. From 1786-89, he was educated at the University of Göttingen, where he studied theology, mathematics, and physics.[1] In 1796 Johann Hieronymus Schröter hired Harding as a tutor for his son. Schröter was an enthusiastic astronomer, and Harding was soon appointed observer and inspector in his observatory.

In 1804, Harding discovered Juno at Schröter's observatory. He then went to Göttingen to assist Carl Friedrich Gauss. There he was professor of astronomy.

In addition to Juno, he discovered three comets, and published:

Atlas novus coelestis (1808-1823; re-edited by Jahn, 1856) which catalogued 120,000 stars
Kleine astronomische Ephemeriden (edited with Wiessen, 1830-35)
the fifteenth in the series of Sternkarten of the Berlin Academy's publications (1830)

The crater Harding on the Moon is named after him, and so is the asteroid 2003 Harding.

What an alien concept.

Spinal Tap had me floored. I cursed once I googled the quote.

Now why couldn't you put the bunny back in the box?

"No! Not good! Stop! Not good! What are you doing? You've burned all the food, the shade, the RUM!"

Someone always has to bring pirates into it.

Why can't aliens be friendly?

There's no glowing fingers on these ********.

We've got a bunch of extra-terrestrial psychopaths on our hands.

Like a... visit from a planet full of Charlie Mansons.

They've wiped out a small town for starters. lt's my guess they'll go on to something bigger next time.
-Christchurch, Wellington...

-Auckland?

Yeah, well that wouldn't be so bad.

Biker, Happy San Marino Day.

301AD - San Marino, one of the smallest nations in the world and the world's oldest republic still in existence, is founded by Saint Marinus.
San Marino, officially the Republic of San Marino (Italian: Repubblica di San Marino) and also known as the Most Serene Republic of San Marino (Italian: Serenissima Repubblica di San Marino), is an enclaved microstate surrounded by Italy, situated on the Italian Peninsula on the north-eastern side of the Apennine Mountains. Its size is just over 61 km[SUP]2[/SUP] (24 sq. mi) with an estimated population of over 30,000. Its capital is the City of San Marino. San Marino has the smallest population of all the members of the Council of Europe.
San Marino claims to be the oldest surviving sovereign state and constitutional republic in the world, as the continuation of the monastic community founded on 3 September 301, by stonecutter Marinus of Arba. Legend has it that Marinus left Rab, then the Roman colony of Arba, in 257 when the future emperor, Diocletian, issued a decree calling for the reconstruction of the city walls of Rimini, which had been destroyed by Liburnian pirates.
San Marino is governed by the Leges Statutae Republicae Sancti Marini, a series of six books written in Latin in the late 16th century, that dictate the country’s political system, among other matters.
The country's economy mainly relies on finance, industry, services and tourism. It is one of the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP (per capita), with a figure comparable to the most developed European regions. San Marino is considered to have a highly stable economy, with one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe, no national debt and a budget surplus.
