A random thread for small things that don't really warrant a thread of their own

Just how big are these things? If they're, say, football-sized I'll take my chances and worry about other stuff instead. If they're planet sized, it won't matter how I feel about them.

It's the in between ones that will have me fretting.

All go here.  Two B2s into Fairford about 1430 and a C47 in invasion livery on a low level west east transit about 1450.

After posting a photo to FaceBook showing me suffering on a climb on the Snow Roads audax yesterday,
Facebook's targeted adverts down the side of my photo are topped by recommendations for a Funeral Director.

This weekend was one of those dates that we noted in the past as a possible asteroid strike date.
It missed by 3/4 of a million miles.

I hope the Moon reported it on Stop SMIDSY

Surprisingly, the CIA have only just joined twitter.  Their first tweet is sort of amusing.

Someone in the CIA has a sense of humour!

I wonder how it would feel to be 'followed' by the CIA.

[jogler]

Next time I see you I'll tell you how it feels to be questioned by them.

When I'm in the shower I'm afraid to wash my hair, cos I might open my eyes and find someone standing there.

[clarion]

Maybe the IRS?

In June, is it wrong to wear under-shorts emblazoned with "Merry Christmas"?

[jogler]

^^^

"I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas" was written in June so I reckon you're spot on

[clarion]

So long as you don't wear a mirrored top hat with it.

Well, that's 3 times the distance of the moon, but still pretty close, I'd say.
Wasn't there one that actually passed within the moon's orbit a couple of years back?

It is quite close, but space is big. Every single planet in the solar system can fit between the earth and the moon, with 8000km left over.

Seriously?  Even Jupiter?  Wowsers!

I kno you have to go outside to make a wireless telephony call. I kno it nice and sunny. But, young lady, is the top step of the flight up to the front door of base HQ really the right place to sit in a skirt that short. Quite an unexpexted sight when just popping across to the post room

And then I forgot what I went for and had to go back again

Yes, I was quite amazed as well. That guy is the only reason I keep using Google+, seriously interesting spacey / physics stuff.

Partner did not realise the meaning of 'Kernow' until breakfast today.

The whole solar system fits between York & Selby & I've ridden there & back on my bike

That's okay, I wasn't aware of the word until just now.

Indeed, some of us performed a gravitational slingshot manoeuvre around Saturn on Sunday.

It's a whole county that's made by adjusting the spaces between letters.

That was my initial thought till I google defined it.

The space between my letters is now full of what I was just drinking.

Good deed for the day done. A chap stopped me by Moorfields station and asked me for directions to HM's Immigration service. It's only a few minutes out of my way so I walked him there.

This orifice is too hot.! 27C is not a comfortable temperature. Our sir con is crap.
