These things are pretty boring until GigantoFly gets a word of them. Anyone got his number?

StarshipPooper		2006-01-18 09:09:30 AM

So did this cost us 100 Million dollars?

Holodigm		2006-01-18 09:10:03 AM

is it just a problem with the site or is it pitch black right now?

MrDarkSim		2006-01-18 09:10:22 AM

I like looking at a black screen.

StarshipPooper		2006-01-18 09:11:20 AM

Holodigm

That's what you get for 100 million dollars. If we wanted it to work, we would have had to pay Halliburton 500 million dollars.

No no, that's the ass of Isaac Hayes

damn its dark. i'll have to wait until spring for the sun to come up

farkenarsehole		2006-01-18 09:13:59 AM

none more black

animal900		2006-01-18 09:14:07 AM

If you payed more taxes the sun would come out earlier in Alaska.

GAT_00		2006-01-18 09:14:25 AM

For those who are trying to figure out why it is black, I should point out that this is in Fairbanks. I'm pretty sure its still dark.

/kinda thought that was obvious
//even without the morning coffee

leperboy69		2006-01-18 09:14:42 AM

Given that it's 5AM (according to the datestamp) and it's Alaska, yes, it would be dark.

bakarocket		2006-01-18 09:15:42 AM

It's night time, Holodigm, sun doesn't rise for a bit.

StatJunkie		2006-01-18 09:15:55 AM

I think its black because its still currently night in alaska. I think they only get 2 hours or so of daylight at this time of year. Also I doubt there's much artificial lighting in remote areas. I think a volcano in Alaska is about as remote as you can get.

/I recommend looking up sunrise times for alaska

TheFiefdom		2006-01-18 09:16:20 AM

Ok, looks like it's getting a little lighter out now. Here's what the pic looks like now:

Nice!

Ld.Edward		2006-01-18 09:20:23 AM

So where's the cool panel where you can turn the lights on and off and make it blow up and stuff?

StarshipPooper		2006-01-18 09:21:38 AM

Isn't a volcano suppose to spew magma and lava and stuff? Doesn't that stuff... I don't know, glow? They never heard of IR or NV lenses? No flood light? Don't they have scientists there studying it and stuff, don't they usually set up a battery of lights?

Thespis377		2006-01-18 09:22:42 AM

DUH!! It's winter in Alaska! No Sun until spring.

If you paid Halliburton 500 million dollars what you would see is this

SumJackass		2006-01-18 09:27:06 AM

I was there a few weeks ago. Sunrise was at about 11 am and sunset was a little after 2 pm.

A race of super space fly monster have taken over! Hail Space FLies!

quixotically wandering		2006-01-18 09:28:22 AM

Lava monsters have spray painted the cameras black! I knew there would be severe repercusions for the japanese drilling!

This thread needs a mecha homer to save it.

It's always darkest before it's completely black.

SpinStopper		2006-01-18 09:37:39 AM

Nah, evil Eskimos stole the camera and fed it to a polar bear. It's always dark inside of a polar bear.

What Is? The last thing a coal miner see's before going to sleep, for 800, Alex.

StoPPeRmobile		2006-01-18 09:39:50 AM

According to this website: http://www.mobilegeographics.com:81/locations/2595.html Sunrise is 9:45AM and it is Currently 5:33AM

Then there'll be light at the end of a tunnel soon.

losartin		2006-01-18 09:56:18 AM

This is the same image I got on a GIS for "Chennys soul".

laurascudder		2006-01-18 10:03:50 AM

Why was this greenlit during the night?

FullCodpiece		2006-01-18 10:07:23 AM

Tonight's forecast call for darkness in the early evening, continuing darkness through the evening, then scattered light towards morning ...

/loves me the Hippie-Dippy Weatherman, man

brookshoal		2006-01-18 10:09:40 AM

Why was this greenlit during the night?

Could have something to do with the fact that it just blew up yesterday morning. And will probably blow up again bigger real soon.

There's all that "CODE RED! DANGER DANGER!" stuff all over the reports.

trappedspirit		2006-01-18 10:13:24 AM

What the heck's an instant greenlight?

quixotically wandering		2006-01-18 10:17:39 AM

When the brothels close and they hit the streets. :)

trappedspirit: What the heck's an instant greenlight?

A greenlight that occurs shortly after the submission to the queue. TFers don't have much time to comment, so they end to hit the main page without any comments.
