IrishLiz Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I agree wholeheartedly with Spritzie! Otherwise, we'd have to address how we're getting there, and the time as well, and that's not the point. Plus, I'm working on becoming a scientist, so I have a say in these things. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 ^This. Stop trying to be so serious. (Where have I heard that line before?) I said that. And you're acting serious, because it seems as though you can't take a joke. Okay. New travel requirement: Check your scientific knowledge at the door. Are you saying I'm stupid?

Tyler. Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 the universe exploded? well I guess my room survived then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Scientific knowledge is all well and good, but there's no need to keep it for this. We'll figure out a way to quilt on Saturn and Jupiter and Uranus. As Spritzie said, we're clever quiltin' girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hehe, because actually visiting any planet other than ours is so physically possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 It never exploded. You only had a dream. It was all just a dream. Livvy the quilt would go right through the planet. It ain't gonna work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 CAV, all I was saying was, we all know that we were teasing with our traveling the planets, and we were having fun with it. Then you started telling us we couldn't visit certain ones. (For logical reasons, but that's not the point) It took some of the fun away. And I wasn't saying you were stupid. I was saying, ignore what you know about science and the planets. Enjoy the idea of visiting planets that you scientifically couldn't.

Tyler. Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 it's a magic quilt CAV, just accept it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 "Check" in this case doesn't mean "make sure you're right." It means "leave, abandon, stop." She was just telling you to ignore scientific realities and embrace impossibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Good thinking Tyler. A magic quilt is even better. Thank you Livvy. I hadn't thought about my usage of the word "check" and that it might not come across right. That is what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLiz Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 ^ Not to be confused with a magic carpet. And we scientifically couldn't visit any of the planets, if you want to be technical. What about Venus? We'd die there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought when you said that you were saying to check your answers before going on the journey, and I figured you were saying that I was wrong. Yes we'd die due to the heat of Venus. AWW DANG I DID IT AGAIN!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishLiz Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yes we'd die due to the heat of Venus. AWW DANG I DID IT AGAIN!! haha, I brought that up. We're just messing around, you know, like when little kids play games. Except we're big little kids. It's good to exercise the imagination sometimes, I think. :yes: I like astronomy and sciency-things in general too. Sometimes it's nice not to consider it though. I'm around a lot of people that take things too seriously, so this is fun for me. EDIT: And, no, I'm not saying that you're too serious and not fun. I didn't mean to imply that. I'm talking about people at school/work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritzie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I've always been big into the space stuff. (Big technical term, right there) I used to have screen names like Solar Storm, and such. (I also LOVE meteorology.) I also had sns like Tornadic, Cyclonicblast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLiz Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I had to take a history of science/philosophy class that was kinda crazy because we had to pretend like we were in the time period we were studying at the time. We had to pretend that everything revolved around the Earth for a while. It was a relief when we finally got to Kepler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I have too. When I was a baby, I had glow in the dark stars, moons, comets, and astroids on the ceiling. I did whatever I could to learn whatever I needed, and I want to be an Astronomer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I still have glow in the dark stars on my wall. :* The IC used to have nonsense conversations like that all the time. You can't just go around injecting logic into random conversations. Lighten up. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLiz Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I did to! I had glow in the dark planets and stars all over my room and my room light. I had a hard time getting them on the ceiling because my room had a popcorn ceiling (now gone!) so I hung the planets from strings and attached them to the ceiling. My ceiling light was the Sun.

Spritzie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Everyone tells me I should have done different things. Law school, web design, computer coding. But I always said I was never passionate enough about those things to do it. Then an old friend says, "Why didn't you pursue meteorology?" My reply was: "Why didn't you mention that to me 3 years ago???" My biggest thing is weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I still have glow in the dark stars on my wall. :* I had them on my ceiling up until 3 years ago, when I was 10. Even though I somewhat objected, my parents made me take them off while they were redecorating my room. The stars are in a bucket somewhere...

IrishLiz Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 My mom wanted to be a meterologist when she was growing up. She used to predict the weather. My dad and I got her this device that you mount on the roof. It has an electronic component in the house that we can use to measure all the weather conditions and predict the weather.

That sounds pretty cool. But isn't the topic our space journey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
