""How exactly do we see something approaching us at light speed?"

Oddly enough, the light from everything we see approaches us at the speed of light. ;-)"

Blue-shifted though.

Mine's the stranglet puddle under the empty peg.

@Reminds me of my loan at Harvey Norman..

I had something a few years ago. A caller (who turned out to be legit) asked for my mother's maiden name. I couldn't get him to understand that there was no way I'd give that sort of info to an unidentified caller.

Mine's the blue one with the red "S" on the back.

Man, this refill cartridge weighs a ton

Well, yes. But the ones that came with the printer, only weighed half a ton.

Make up your minds!

"According to the Society for Nuclear Medicine (SNM), "there is a distinct possibility that worldwide production of Mo-99 could completely cease for a prolonged period, "

"The Chalk River plant in Canada - (SNIP) It's expected to re-open this week."

Mine's the lead-lined one.

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once it went offline,

A host of profane epithets.

"Rear wheel drive is a nightmare is slippery road conditions"

Not if the engine is also at the back.(as is the case here). I've owned several rear engined NSUs. Superb road holding.

Mine's the one with the mains lead sticking out of the pocket..

a rather large hammer to crack a small "nut"

"US authorities have been seeking to extradite McKinnon since June 2005."

or to put it another way, McKinnon's being fighting extradition.since June 2005. If he hadn't, and plea bargained, he might have served his sentence by now.

Mine's the one with arrows all over it..

Mine's the one

above the pool of water on the floor.

by self-generating a "radio cloud".

Sounds as if they've invented the first self-jamming radio.

Re Well

And any documents in the possession of the UK Government will have been lost anyway.

Mine's the one without a memory stick in the pocket.

Can I be the first to say

Mine's the black one with the balaclava.

Reimagine?

"The Thirty-four Steps" to save on production costs?

Re: But that's not the point...

"How long until roadworks contractors complain that they're not perpetually standing with a spade dug into a pile of earth?"

Is that what he's doing? I though he was opening an umbrella.

A step too far.

Mine's the one draped over the camera.

50GB?

How long does it take to upload that much? ADSL upload speeds are much less than download ones.

Mine's the one with a pocket full of USB memory sticks.

Only 10% more ice?

Shouldn't there be less if there is such a thing as MMGW?

Mine's the white furry one.

There's also the Bebook for £229,

http://mybebook.com/index.html. No Mobipocket support yet, but I've been told this will come in a free software upgrade in a few weeks.

Also a new machine ib November/December with RSS news feeds support and Wifi for more but not much more than the above price.

So I think I'll wait. Even if I don't bother with the WiFi version, the price of the current model should drop.

Mine's the one with 200 books in the pocket.

Surely the extra memory would be more use to Windows users?

I rather doubt that the typical user of such a Windows machine needs more than 1GB. I agree that Linux doen't need 2GB though.

Went into Sainsburys this morning and they had the Medion E1210 for £299.

Mine's the one with the whining credit card in the pocket.

What next?

Cloned Mormon missionaries?

"We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience"

I hate that phrase!. When you have to grope your way round the house at night in a power cut, or don't have any running water due to a burst main, it's self evident you've been inconvenienced.

Self evident to everyone but utility companies, that it. I complained to the local electricity company about the phrase on thier website a few years ago. Total waste of time as their reply again apologised for any inconvenience

If she's not the same person,

perhaps she's a clone.

Any one of the five identical coats, please.

Not just MySpace and Facebook

I've been getting emails with a link pointing at that file, with headlines such as

"Martian Soil Fantastic For Growing Weed Says Nasa"

and

"Paris Hilton Initially Denies Having Inverted Nipples"
