    Re: The random thought thread

    What is it with new cars in the last 1-2 years? I am constantly seeing drivers who either have no lights on, or just the daytime running lights, no tail or park lights long after the sun has set. Even more frustrating is none of them seem to realize that when some one is killing their lights either in front or behind you, it usually means your head lights aren't on. I even pulled up beside one driver and told him his rear light were off (11pm) and he said I was wrong, his light were "Auto" and drove off. I also notice that more and more drivers run with their high beams on, and don't seem to care who they are blinding and do not respond to the "universal" check your high beams signal. Many years ago I had a decked out Goldwing with a very bright high beam, 2 additional fog lights, and I kept a DC operated spotlight clipped to the wind jammer. Some times I would have to go from low beams, to high, turn on fog lamps, and finally pull the spotlight out and shine it directly in the windshield of the offending idiot before they would go back to low beams. I just don't understand how you can't tell if your freaking lights are on or not. Hmm I wonder how fast I'm going??? Can't seem to see my dashboard in all this darkness, wonder what the problem can be....Emujo

    I watch lots of video's about the ISS and notice astronauts only wear socks.

    Can you bang your toe in space?

    Maybe, but you could injure something more valuable if you wear socks only.

    Haha
    So since astronauts inside the ISS don't wear helmets can I assume that what you are referring to is more important than your head?

    I really want to ask Tim Peake this question!

    Seriously :
    Have any scientist tested the copulation/fertility principle in space ?
    Can homosapiens travel for long periods in space and survive by reproducing ?
    Can copulation work in a gravity free weightless environment ?

    If the earth suffered a cataclysmic event an there was a survival
    Arc orbiting the planet, it would be a bit late to find out that
    man cannot reproduce in zero gravity and the embryo grows twice the size or
    something even worse.

    It might work with a lab rats shorter gestation period but does it work with human beings over 9 months ? What happens if/when humans conceive an carry a full term birth in the volatile plasma particle stream of space.

    Usual curiosity.....
