OR MAYBE EXTINCTION'S CLOSER THAN WE THINK



Astronomers have spotted a cataclysmic explosion that marked the death of a huge, distant star in a blast five times as bright and powerful as any they had seen previously. They said yesterday that a similar fate may be imminent for a star in Earth's galactic neighborhood. The size and energy of the newly recorded blast, 240 million light-years away, have already begun to transform scientific understanding of how especially large stars explode, and have left awestruck researchers concerned -- and a little excited -- about what might happen to the similarly enormous and unstable star closer to home.

The secret word is Boom!

And the numeric sequence is 12.21.12


CRYPTIQUEIt’s hard to make the transition from the unthinkable to the unspeakable.

A supernova is something you don't want to fuck with.

It's a beautiful photo. As an Aries, it's seductive.
There's something about that firey tunnel and the thought of having everything here -- hate, fear, even love, compassion, everything -- sucked in and flamed to oblivion. Fini. No more people to give up on.

Frost, often pedestrian, sometimes got it:

"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire."

I don't know, after a few pints I'm game for anything!!!

On a completely different tack, the government are planning a new school in London that won't have any playgrounds or break periods, however, the Head has said that the school will allow '..the pupils the opportunity to hydrate during the learning experience...", which I think means 'have a drink in class'. Would you really allow your kids, however much you hate the little bastards, to be taught be someone who talks such utter fucking bollocks.

I try to make it a point of hydrating during the learning period.
