SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY: NASA knew Columbia crew could die but chose not to tell them

A NASA flight director has revealed that personnel on the ground knew in 2003 that the Space Shuttle Columbia would not likely survive re-entry, but chose not to inform the vessel’s crew. According to an ABC News report from Thursday, when faced with the choice of letting the astronauts die trying to come home or leaving them to orbit until their air ran out, high-ranking NASA officials chose to let the Columbia crew die in ignorance of what was to befall them.

CULTURE/SOCIETY: A Bunch Of Singles Showing How Little They Know About Married Life

Found this on STFU, Marrieds with a link from this person. - OlderMusicGeek



I found this all fun and amusing. I'm sure there are plenty of wives who can relate. But the comments showed why a lot of unmarrieds are unmarried and that they don't know the difference between feeling something and doing something! - OMGeek

Gross. Threatening domestic violence is never ok.

Yeah, reverse the sexes and those people commenting would be singing an entirely different tune. So silly that it's considered "ok" for a woman to talk like that

I totally agree that women should not hit men.

Jazmine is simply expressing her [normal] feelings. Joanne is the one encouraging her to act on them! (When I was married, I used to fantasize about smashing my ex-husband's face in with a hammer... while he was talking to me.)

Dude, her feelings aren't normal o_O (*rolls eyeballs - OMGeek) -- as evidenced by the fact that the person you fantasized about injuring is now your EX. If you're married/partnered to someone you hate and want to hurt, there IS a problem. I'm so over people acting like dysfunction is "normal". It's not.

And em has it right, jokes about domestic violence are never cool, male or female.

CULTURE/SOCIETY: Go The Speed Limit Or With The Flow?

I always feel like speed limits are put there for a reason. Sometimes, the choice isn't always the best, but I've never considered speeding as civil disobediance. So I found this piece from NPR helpful. - OlderMusicGeek

HUMOR: Santa's Bad Day: The Start Of A Tradition

I found this while surfing the net. I got it from Humor Matters. - OlderMusicGeek

One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More stress.

Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.

So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom. Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door. He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.

The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?"

Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

My friend, The Computer/Music Nerd, emailed the link to this AGES ago. - OlderMusicGeek

Car Carma

When bad things happen to good drivers, is your "Astrological Sign" to blame?
Car Carma describes the influence your astrological sign has over your driving.

Here’s what drove me to write the book on "Car Carma" says Lee Romanov, president of InsuranceHotline.com: “I wondered why some drivers always got into accidents and others always got tickets. So I compared 100,000 drivers, their tickets and accidents, to their astrological sign. The results are overwhelming, showing drivers of certain astrological signs are prone to getting more tickets, while others seemed destined to have accidents".

Over All Worst To Best Driver’s Astrological Signs For Tickets & Accidents

Here are the Astrological Signs that had the most influence over drivers, causing them to have the greatest number of tickets and accidents, from worst to best.

Number 1 Worst :
Libra - Sept. 23 to Oct. 22
Libra is the "sign of the scales", it craves balance and consensus. Libra doesn’t like to make snap decisions. But rush hour traffic is not a time for seeking driver approval, or for being indecisive.

2nd Worst Position :
Aquarius - Jan. 20 to Feb. 18
They’re impulsive, and ruled by the Planet of speed and rebellion. Aquarians need to get a better grip behind the wheel.

3rd Worst Position :
Aries - Mar. 21 to Apr. 19
Its symbol is the ram. Not good a sign to have for avoiding accidents. Aries have a "me first" child-like nature, that drives Aries into trouble.

4th Worst Position :
Pisces - Feb. 19 to Mar. 20
This sign enjoys daydreaming. So wake up Pisces, driving in the “real world" requires your complete attention.

5th Worst Position :
Scorpio - Oct. 23 to Nov. 21
The scorpion’s instinct is to get revenge, and driving is the perfect avenue to vent a little Scorpion road rage. If you pass a Scorpio, plan on being chased.

6th Worst Position :
Taurus - Apr. 20 to May 20
The astrological sign for Taurus is the bull. They’re stubborn, and have an urge to charge at red lights.

7th Worst Position :
Sagittarius - Nov. 22 to Dec. 21
They’re risk-takers, but they’re experienced risk takers, and know that stunt driving should be left to the professionals. This is a talkative group, and they should consider putting their cell phone down and just driving.

8th Worst Position :
Capricorn - Dec. 22 to Jan. 19
Capricorn is goal oriented. They’re more concerned about the destination than the journey. They feel that the rules of the road are for other drivers to follow so that Capricorns can get to their destination faster.

9th Worst Position :
Virgo - Aug. 23 to Sept. 22
Virgos have a nervous attention to detail. They made the cover of the Car Carma book. They’d be slamming their brakes on to avoid hitting a squirrel, but cause a 10 car pile-up.

3rd Best Position :
Cancer - June 21 to July 22
They’re homebodies, and consider the roadway of drivers their extended family. But they’re a moody group, and would be the ones to honk at you for no reason at all.

2nd Best Position :
Gemini - May 21 to June 20
Geminis are the original multi-taskers. They can eat, drink, read the newspaper, shave, or apply make-up all while driving, although this is NOT recommended, even if you're a Gemini. It’s the sign of the twins; while one is driving the other co-pilots.

Number 1 Best :
Leo - Jul. 23 to Aug. 22
Leo is generous, and comfortable in sharing the roadway. They‘re known for having a huge ego, which is their driving force to be the best.
