Why are you so happy? Pete goes over the most valuable members of CP. You are No. 10 as today 
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

The knish was created in appreciation for Nish's assistance in translating the Rosetta Stone.
Nish can hum three national anthems at once, provided he hums one backward.
The Hope Diamond was created by Nish during a particularly tedious design meeting.

I asked him for his first book(fiction) long time ago & still he's .... I think I should ask him for both books now.

Christian Graus doesn't live on an island; everyone else lives on islands.
The Sidney Opera House was originally built to house Christian Graus' knowledge, but was deemed too small and repurposed.
The verb "grouse" is the anglicized rendition of Graus, yet it pales in comparison to the original connotation.
The Hitchhikers' Guide says that "Belgium" is the most offensive word, but only because it can't bring itself to print "Graus".

If you asked Christian what the most offensive word was, he'd correct you as above 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

I forgot about Telstra, I always think of Qantas.

AFAIK, Christian never created a Quantas bashing blog; Telstra OTOH...[^]

So, having not posted here for a while, I came by because Chris got my care package and posted about it. And this is on the front page. This is a thing ? I don't know what to say, but I'm laughing !!!
|
|
|
|
|
It's a thing. I started it a couple of days ago.
|
|
|
|
|
Because you couldn't sleep ?
|
|
|
|
|
Nah. I go play guitar when I can't sleep.
|
|
|
|
|
And then the neighbours can't sleep, either ?

Eh, most of them aren't so much about "the universe", as about an insignificant little blue-green planet in the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy. I was expecting a little more astronomy with a subject like that

All true, but this little insignificant blue-green planet is likely all the universe you or I will ever know.

Bah, speak for yourself. I just got back from a day trip to a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse...
Or was that just upstate New York?
I dunno... It was one of those two...
