h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

What is amazing -if anything still amazes you?
Can you still be amazed after joining h2g2?
are you in fact amazed by anything at all?

I still can amaze myself.

I am most amazed by the Hubble Telescope pictures

I am amazed about how people can share in having the same arguement endlessly. Some married couples do this for 40 - 50+ years!

I am amazed at people whom find a way to blame another person for their own decisions, actions and consequences suffered. On the other hand these same people never give credit to others when things go right

I am amazed that the most outspoken Christian right leaders in America did not find cutting benefits to the sick and elderly,and education important enough to fight. When the 2 most outspken preachers were asked why they did not protest; the reply was their primary issues of concern were not among those listed.

I am still amazed that people bought those books full of pictures of nothing but squiggly lines, which if you stared at for long enough, supposedly were actually dolphins and stuff.

technology in modern automobiles.

Frankly- Abbi, you always amaze me. You are insiteful, generous, Always a straight shooter and never wallow (sp?) in self pity. What also amazes me is that through the years, I have faced adversity and have always survived in some form or another. These past few years in particular. Happy Holidays to all and may the new year bring you Joy in the spirit of Life! K

Thank-you KaseseYou have surpassed survival and thrived despite many challenges! Oddly enough I thought about this thread while away and said to myself the best answer I know is surely =

Nothing is more amazing than the resilence of people!

I'm still amazed by microphotography. Like pictures of dust mites that look like a herd of cattle. Or the little creatures that look like dragons and live in people's eyebrows.

I am also amazed by pictures that capture aplit seconds, like a bullet cutting a playing card in half.

Me too JEllen!
First saw those in life magazine in the 60's.
Some make wonderful art pieces

Often better to not know what you are looking at.
Bacteria and things that make you ill, can be quite beautiful when enlarged.

Fractals are amazing

Abbi and Jellen- There is a show here in Canad which is brought in from Britain called "How clean is your House" It amazes me how discusting some people surroundings are in which they live in- The microscopic photo thing reminded me of it. I now have to wonder if I should vacuum my bed three times a week so I too won't have dust mites in my eyebrows. And what about those microscopic creatures in the cat hairs and the mold that might be hanging out in my walls because the roof had a leak Oh and it constantly amazes me that my daughter can sleep in a room where she can't find the phone without beeping it to find it's location. chhers to you both. Perhaps I should start looking for mine too!!!

Alert! Goo pageKasese. I do not know what you use and the shorter version of a link does not seem to work for me anymore. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F90234?thread=1352056 "K" PC has a thread about house cleaning you might enjoy! I have seen that show or one like it It is worse than some of the guys places in my college years*phew*

I find everything pretty amazing. For example, you could pick a single leaf off the floor and spend the rest of your life studying it and still only know about one percent of what you could learn about it. Actually, I find it all overwhelming. The complexity of everything.

I am amazed at the fact that Man/Mankind is stubbornly clinging to the desire to inflict pain & suffering on innocent people's across the Globe!! Be it the Bush coalition of cruelty in Iraq,the existence of capital punishment anywhere on the globe,or the cruel attack of a madman on a child-- Why???

The fact that Apollo 11 took 3 men to the moon with less technology than is found in a modern digital watch.

I am amazed at what some people call Art.

Good one!

I am amazed by modern technology generally.

Yeah me too!

That the astronauts that went up in the shuttles knew that they were travelling in a vehicle where every single component was made to the lowest price possible ...

Hi gadget how you doing? you know me from the other board don't you?
