Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[RED-DOG]

Facebook.

I don't want it, peeps say I should have it.

They've told me the pros, what are the cons?

[Rod Paradise]

Ending up friends with people you've not seen for years (happilly)
Getting suggested friends who you'd be happy never ever speaking to again.
Putting up with the monotonous minutae in the lives of people who you may like, but not that much.


Finally - and the worst - addiction to Mafia Wars (and if you do facebook - you'd better join my clan).

Its all a big marketing exercise designed to get info on you for targetted advertising.

DON'T DO IT!

I can't imagine anything less suitable for you Tom. You'd hate it. I'd rather you killed the Moles.*

Yes yes, I'm sure you're right, but give me reasons. I need the ammunition.

My daughter signed me up to Facebook recently - I had similarly resisted up til now.
I must've spent 2 or 3 hours on there so far, without having achieved anything, or noticed anything that is of any use or benefit to me at all.

I at first accepted a few 'friends', most of whom are related to me, and who would have been offended if I had not clicked the right box.
The majority of my time on there since, has been spent trying to work out why the damn thing keeps suggesting I make 'friends' with people I have never met, and am never likely to meet.
(If Cheryl Cole's name gets on that list I may make an exception).

I even had a request to be a 'Farmville Friend' to someone, or somesuch nonesense.

Complete waste of time, and effort. (BTW Tom, if you do sign up, can you please add me as a friend).

Some good reasons there for not having it, especially that last bit.

Well I don't plan on signing up to facebook because I'm an anti-social so-and-so and everyone else seems to be on there.

Plus the thought of somebody suggesting people that I ought to be friends with is completely abhorrent.

On Tony's diary, Cos posted a link to a picture thread on 2+2. It was called "A picture is worth a thousand words" or something. Anyway...

There was this one image, or, more precisely, series of images, that shows how we, (By "We" I mean our solar system) compares to the rest of the known universe. (BTW the known universe just got a hell of a lot bigger thanks to the Hubble space telescope)

First of all, we see the Earth, which is tiny compared to some of the other planets like Saturn or Jupiter, which in turn, are also tiny when compared to the Sun. But...

Our Sun is like a pea next to a beachball when it's compared to some of the other stars in our galaxy, and out galaxy is just one of millions, each containing trillions stars.

I can't get my head around it, but I can't stop thinking about it. What does it all mean?

I know there's no answer to that, but still I wonder.

What I'm working up to is this. I should have saved the images when I had the chance, but I didn't, and now I can't find them again.

Is anyone familiar with the images I'm talking about?. They look like one picture divided up into thumbnails, and when you click on them they open into individual pics.

If you are, please post a link, I'd love another look.

I have enough trouble with women already. I don't need to be nagged in cyber space.

Oh sorry. My bad.

I must warn you though, Ralph has impossibly high standards.

Was just about to post it, but you beat me to it lol.

Here it is anyway, quite extraordinary.

Edit: can't get it to be a clickable picture at the mo, and too tired to work out why it doesn't want to behave.
