Uh oh... Does that mean you have a frigid mind and a not only tight little but also hot ass?Please try in the future to refer to my body parts using their proper names
Isn't planet Barbaria1 supposed to be hot all over?Please try in the future to refer to my body parts using their proper names
OK, geography revised :Please try in the future to refer to my body parts using their proper names
Well, it is true that the earth is closest to the sun in the southern summer, so it is "hottest" below the equator. Also, he equator is somewhat bulged out because of the position of the earth's axis. I am not sure you are trying to imply either of those things?Please try in the future to refer to my body parts using their proper names
Please don't talk about bulging at the equator while Stan is making latkes for Chanukah!Well, it is true that the earth is closest to the sun in the southern summer, so it is "hottest" below the equator.

Sorry. Calories should not be mentioned around holiday food. That's for gym talk in January.Please don't talk about bulging at the equator while Stan is making latkes for Chanukah!
I have read once, that the Earth is slightly 'bulging in' around the south pole and on mid-northern latitudes. Which made the author conclude that the Earth is actually pear-shaped.Well, it is true that the earth is closest to the sun in the southern summer, so it is "hottest" below the equator.

Isaac Asimov was the first SF author I read. I don´t know anymore which story it was, but he got me fixed on SF for life and opened much bigger doors in my phantasie then any other genre.This thread has been quiet for a few days. Obviously, nothing important has ever happened between the middle of December and the beginning of January......
However, today marks 100 years since the birth of Isaac Asimov. (An author who, for me, had ideas which outstripped his writing capabilities....)
I loved Isaac Azimov, not only his science fiction, but the popular science books he wrote, some of which got me interested in pursuing a career in science (some may wonder which books got me interested in writing BDSM erotica). He had a PhD in chemistry from Columbia and his fiction was always grounded in solid science.This thread has been quiet for a few days.

Don't get me wrong: I, too, loved Asimov as a teenager. His stories inspired me, as well. It's just that returning to him a decade later, I found his style just a little.....turgid. But his ideas still fire considerable thought. I remember my mind being blown as a 13-14 year old by the essay 'The tragedy of the moon'. (Basically, if our moon orbited Venus instead of the Earth, our whole view of the universe would have been different from the earliest times.)I loved Isaac Azimov, not only his science fiction, but the popular science books he wrote, some of which got me interested in pursuing a career in science (some may wonder which books got me interested in writing BDSM erotica).

Crazy damn French!!!Decades ago, a little girl looked out her window, peering up at the stars. “I would prefer to stay up and watch the stars than sleep,” Vera Rubin recalled years later. That little girl become an astronomer whose observations of dark matter changed the course of science. Rubin died on December 25, 2016 at age 88
This is a proud moment
And last but not least
On this day in 1816, French mathematician Sophie Germain became the first woman to win a prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences. Despite familial and societal obstacles, Germain became a pioneer in the study of elasticity theory and number theory.
Incidentally, you post this on the anniversary of the death of Caroline Herschel (9th january 1848) :Decades ago, a little girl looked out her window, peering up at the stars. “I would prefer to stay up and watch the stars than sleep,” Vera Rubin recalled years later.
