| If you are up at about 3AM Sunday morning, go check out the Moon, Saturn, and the star Spica (in the Virgo constellation) forming a triangle |

| Ba'boon Three points will form a triangle you say? Not quite excited enough to set the alarm for that one. |

Done in one. |

That's about when bars let out, so I'll see two triangles. |

Ba'boon: Three points will form a triangle you say? Not quite excited enough to set the alarm for that one. Heh, done in one. It's not even an equilateral triangle. |

You know who else "formed" triangles? |

| jehovahs witness protection Not quite what it would take for me to grab my telescope and freeze my ass off at 3AM. |

Let me know when they DON"T make a triangle. Now that would be impressive. |

Spica? That's racist! |

| UseUrHeadFred Rufus Lee King: My wife and I were trying to catch the Mercury/Venus/Uranis alignment from a while back. It clouded up, though, and all we could get was the Face of God: [i1041.photobucket.com image 761x1024] Wait, all I see is a hazy moon and some clouds just belOH MY GOD |

Meh. I'm waiting for the Moon, Saturn, Uranus, and Hale-Bopp comet rhombus. This guy is my ride to the up close viewing... |

I'm a Virgo and I told my wife that later tonight Uranus will form a triangle with my balls. She laughed. |

Uhm.... Subby, 3 non co-linear points is a triangle. I'm not sure how the geometry is special. Saturn is kinda cool. Large, gassy, has stripes... kinda like an internet user. In other news wish I wasn't sick as a dog or I'd hike my butt up the mountain to get a real nice view of the night sky... Wait, no I wouldn't its well below freezing up there. Fark that! /Can I launch a probe like NASA? |

I bet if you threw in another planet or star you'd get a cosmic... quadrangle Maybe even a cosmic parallelogram! |

Acharne: LDM90: Spica? That's racist! Also racist: [www.savingmyfamilymoney.com image 342x209] [media.tumblr.com image 286x397] I've called 'em "Cheese Japs" for years. |

Rufus Lee King: All kinds of things are going on out there, folks... Somewhere, in another galaxy, far far away, there's a conjunction of a planet, a satellite, and a star. |

I'm not really up on my astrology - will this make it easier or harder for me to get laid? /Virgo, natch. |

What a coincidence. I'm reading this at 2:59 Sunday Morning. Too bad I'm naked and can't be bothered to put any clothes on. |

And you call yourself a ScienceBoy! If you were ScienceBoy, you'd go by gum... even if you had no underpants! |
