Is it an image worth posting? I would like to see if you don't mind and have it handy. :)

My local university, despite being one of the largest in the world, claims they don't have the proper equipment :evil:

Strange, it doesn't require anything special really. Just a telescope, if you don't have the proper filter, then hold a piece of paper away from the eyepiece for the image to be projected on. You must of course be careful not to let anyone look through it.

Although that method works, you risk the possibility of destroying the optics as the thermal stress can crack the lenses.

Well hell there'll be a Venus transit before then!

That's 2008, right?

I slept through the last one! :shock:

My alarm didn't go off in time for me to be up at 6 to get everything ready...

Then what's big going on in 2008? I swear it's something...

Nope. Nothing at all happens in 2008. Most almanacs have already cancelled their 2008 editions.

Pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

I don't know why 2008 has a flag in my head, then...

I can't think of anything happening. Everything is pretty much happening (personal-wise, anyway) in 2007. And I won't be out of college until 2011.

I'm pretty sure I'm not thinking of the Summer Olympics. Usually I like the Winters more...

Meh, I'll figure it out. It'll just bug me until then...

So you're taking four years? You're planning on a graduate degree by then as well, right?

I'm assuming four years. Hey, it might be two, it might be six.

I'm taking an average, because quite honestly, I don't even know where I'm going yet or how long whatever I want to do will take.

Michigan has many fine schools to chose from. Right here in Lansing we have:
Excel Academy of Beauty
Michigan School of Canine Cosmetology
Barber College of Lansing

I have heard the curricula there can get quite hairy... But they are usually willing to give you a make up test. If you can't cut it... OK OK OK

Mercury is returning to the morning skies, in the east southeast. Should be about mag 1 today and mag 0 by monday. Mag -0.7 by end of month.

It will join Mars and Jupiter in a close group December 10. But you have to get out before dawn to see it.

Well, it so happened that yesterday, I walked along High Street, at the edge of the Ohio State campus. This weekend being the big game, you could buy t-shirts that said "Fuck Michigan", "Ann Arbor is a Whore", or that had a picture of Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes fame) pissing on a map of Michigan. . .

Heh. One of my boss' co-workers was over recently saying that she was going to be rooting for Michigan. Then she pointed a finger at me and said "Michigan!" I didn't have the guts to tell her that I never root for any of the teams. :P

That's an ass beating waiting to happen...

Michigan has their bumper stickers that say:

M - Go Blue!

SO here in Lansing, we have stickers that say:

M - Go Blow!

No shortage of anti-M sentiment here.

Wasn't that a character from the Wizard of Oz?
