It is overconfidence is it is weakness. Is that some medieval language?

The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

I was just thinking about this today. All these guys charting stars must have made hundreds of diagrams and at least a few artistic drawings of the heavens. Is there an on-line compendium of ancient star charts and astronomical drawings?

A repository of historical and artistic information on the intertubes? That would leave less room for porn, lolcats and snark!

That's crazy talk, man!

// If there is, I'll click on it.
// No fscking JavaScrote, though. That's right out.

It would seem that, when accusing someone of goose theft, you had better be prepared ...

I, for one, find the concept of a comet with a 13 light year tail and a main body size 400 times that of our sun, both wondrous and terrifying.

Glad we ain't neighbours with this Galactus-wannabe.

Better me than the person in charge of hiring for the next job he applies for. I used to be an editor and if someone had made that mistakes like that on his job application, it would have been the last thing he wrote for me.

Remember everyone, we should all put the same amount of proofreading into our posts on every internet forum that we do into our job applications and resumes.

Like that other poster said 1617 isn't medieval at all.
