  oh yes...
  
  like a flying park, exoskeletal wing assemblages, he had worked out the mechanics for lunar gravity tho
  
  shoudl be even easier, but less excercise, inside an asteroid

  "OK, Victor, no problem then. Let's move on. Or as Gonzo says, Excelsior?" Duane in #69.
  
  I'm off subject here, but allow me to explain.
  
  1. I read Duane's comment to Victor.
  2. I think about moving on and the expressive Excelsior.
  3. Exclesior, means "higher" in Latin.
  4. I wiki for confirmation. It's also the signoff of a Marvel Comic's editor from the 60's.
  5. I also notice it's a Wodehouse short story.
  6. I click Wodehouse
  7. It's a Wodehouse story on Golf.
  8. I Amazon Wodehouse Golf Stories.
  9. I read some comments
  10. I order a compilation of Wodehouse golf liturature.
  11. Wow.
  
  This has been a test... If had been an actual emergency you would have been instructed to tune to your local emergency radio station.....

  Thanks for that interesting chain of events. Fascinatingly, no matter how odd the connections between the steps, the end result of the process is that Amazon makes money.
  
  Didn't I read something somewhere about an Amazon exec getting interested in space launch tech? That would bring us full circle, I think.

  Hi:) the asteroid that is going to hit earth in 2036 is this the same sort of one that wiped out the dinosaurs? Well I think nasa will come up with a idea to get rid of the asteroid they have 29 years to think something plenty of time:) I am a belevier of god and the bible It has always said that god would destory this earth not man. this asteroid could be gods way of destorying the earth who knows, Revelation 20:9. I think we shouldnt be to afaid lets make the most of life now god bless:)

  Kat, are you suggesting that God is blessing us by hurling a big rock at our planet? With blessings like that, who needs curses?
