i never said 'underestimate". i said "misunderestimate".
thats a totally different word, coined by a texas-brahmin (as different from boston brahimn)
Is "misunderestimate" anything like missing a bus?
What is your definition.
I'm sorry I thought it was a typo.I haven't familiarised myself yet with your coinsistency at coining words.
Have you studied Finnegan's Wake?
no.
heard the song though.
You should if you are interested in word coining.
Mr Joyce is the accepted master in the field.

not to mention, of writting the most obtuse of books (eg "ullyses") as well.
Not in the least.Ulysses is a model of clarity and precision and of high value to any young man.It doesn't however contain anywhere near the joke density FW achieves.
It probably depends on the type of sense of humour a reader has though for its artistic merit to be gauged.
i meant it was difficult...not lacking in humour... not that i have read it lol (opinion is that joyce and faulkner dished out some of the most arcane lit. in the english lingo)
You believe that sort of opinion at your peril.As it relates to JJ.I'm not that clued to Faulkner but I have most of his books.I'll take a look.Thanks.
Can you do Google Earth.That's great.
yes its great. and owes a lot to space exploration.
Is "a lot" another misunderestimate?
I've been looking at Over The Hills and Far Away in GE.You sure do get about.
It makes you think how insignificant you are though don't you think.
Have you looked at the Amazon.
gahhhhh......my post has been hijacked!!!!!!!! *scrams, tears out hair, and runs around half-naked*
i can see you running half naked... on google earth
lol. i guess that is one benefit of space exploration
yeah... this niche market was opened up ever since that reporter dude flew in a chopper to catch steffi graf sunbathing topless on her terrace....
A defense against an asteroid is not a defense against space exploration, but a defense against objects in space that could cause harm to life. Space exploration is necessary if we are to find new possible home planets and to make peace with rational alien species. However, we should spend more money right now on a possible defense system against these asteroids and to improve the problems we have on Earth.
Ray, one question: Are you obsessed with asteroids? lol
Well, the only thing I have to post, is that I laid out and looked at the stars tonight, and they were gorgeous. I could intinctively tell why our ancestors have always been obsessed with the sky. It was so daunting. So huge. I cannot rationaly see how we could possibly be the only life, or, at the very least, the only hospitable planet. It makes you rethink, you know?
Is this thread for real?
Do you seriously believe that Space Exploration is Vital to The Advancement of Civilization?
truly curious....
flushd, FYI, this is a debate topic for high school UIL in the fall semester. Yes, we actually have to debate this. But, this post keeps getting way off track. *shakes finger at posters*
