niviene Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Let's all take a moment forTurner Classic Movies. Don't you just love them old movies. I actually u sed to work for Turner... but the Cartoon Network part, not TCM :eek: Cartoon Network - Latin American division. Yeehaw... Quote
niviene Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Gee whiz! That's the whole point! Start your own list! I've seen enough of your brains to know you don't need my help! Go! Do! It's fun! Yes, I've always loved Kepler... A moment for Stan Freberg... Well... I guess it shouldn't matter, but I always start out admiring someone, not knowing the whole story. I thought everyone on your list was a great thinker (minus the couple I don't recognize) and for you to include Copernicus and Brahe and omit Kepler and Galileo I had figured that they had done something or maybe something about their findings was so horribly wrong that they were ostracized by the "scientific community"... I guess it shouldn't matter, since I thought their work was phenomenal. I mean, I know Galileo was sentenced to house arrest in the end there for making fun of the Church and all that... I think that's pretty cool to publish something that could get you killed. :eek: I have a soft spot for anybody who believes in something in the face of strong adversity. Kepler... Kepler just reminds me of Niles Crane... Quote
infamous Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 I believe that it's time for me to take a few moments for some shut eye. Good nite all.... Quote

I thought everyone on your list was a great thinker (minus the couple I don't recognize) and for you to include Copernicus and Brahe and omit Kepler and Galileo I had figured...In general you'll find its not such a good idea to read too much into my blathering: it sometimes means the opposite of what you see. The list was purposely "ecclectic" so certain obvious ones got left off as well as some obscure ones getting in (I strongly encourage you to look up the ones you don't recognize! You could end up admiring them too!). Oh and the custom on this thread is that its (mostly) not a discussion, so you need to end every (well, most every) post to it with a "moment": A moment for Emma Peel.... Cheers,Buffy Quote
IrishEyes Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 a moment for B&B owners everywhere that are willing to open up the pub even on nights when it's supposed to be closed, in order for a few new old friends to sit and talk and drink white beer.... :eek: Queso 1 Quote
