Walt Disney was afraid of mice!!!

He could, however, vomit underwater but only if he had to.

And only if being chased by underwater mice.

*As an aside, to breathe under water amouse would have to use breathing appaRATus presumably?*

don't Scooby divers chase underwater mice?

JFK and CS LEWIS Died the same day..

if you put a mouse within a mambrane and put it underwater then it will be able to breathe because there is enough oxygen diffusing through the membrane to support it. this doesn't work for humans though because we need a lot more.

There's a band called CS & Lewis.

yeah but if the mouse vomited under these conditions, i'm afraid we cant accept that for the record as officially having 'vomited under water' cos technically it aint so.......

Proven fact: eating your underwear will not absorb blood alcohol....

a thouroughly entertaining discussion on the underwater properties of mice...

did you knoe that albert eintein got the idea for the theory of relativity from watching a moonbeam? wonder if that beats watching apples fall from trees?

TDOR

Yup. Less painful.

Moonbeams cannot vomit under water.

RF

do you have proof, in the form of a link to a reputable scientific journal to back up that, frankly, scandalous assertion?

Yes.

RF

fair 'nuff.

just moving along

my underwear is grey today

and u know what's even less interesting?

it was grey to begin with....

i think that's such a good idea dont you?

[sings]

ohhhh would you like to swing on a star
a carry moonbeams home in jaaaarrr
ohhh would you like to swing on a star
or would you rather vomit underwater?

[/sings]

A prime example of the interconectedness of all things that is. Seven degrees of seperation and all that. The fact that anything and everything is only ever seven steps away from being sick under the sea. Plus its a catchy lil number

ohhhhh would you like to swing on a star....

There was one of those mass mob get togethers in san fran on valentines day.. cept it was also a pillow fight..
i'm so jealous, i sat here and drank alone on valentines. not that that is something to feel sorry for me for.. i quite enjoyed it.

but a thousand people arrving with secreted pillows and then letting loose for a whole half hour!!! ..well that would have been fun

and pfffft i love yer song.. i'l be singing that all morning now and driving my colleagues mad.

Here's a new useless fact I thought about last night.

This is for all the photographers out there.


The shuttle astronauts do not load their own medium format film.

Rather than risk losing a roll because it was loaded wrong, the space shuttle astronauts are supplied with preloaded hasselblad film backs...
As many as 30 or more of them... and they are not 120 or 220 backs, they're 70mm sprocketted backs that hold around 100 frames.

They usually have at least three hasselblad camera bodies and 25-30 preloaded film backs with 100 frames each... that's 3000 frames of medium format film to be shot in around 10 days, not to mention the 3000-5000 frames of 35mm film they would shoot.

So, anyone out there that knows Hasselblads, imagine having a seperate back for every roll you shoot. (non-photographic folks just won't understand)
