Title: Coolness
Post by: Nico on January 23, 2005, 06:50:07 pm: There was a gigantic halo around the moon, a huge ring that covered a large portion of the sky, but it vanished after five minutes or so. Weird atmospheric thing.
Too bad I don't have a camera, it was a cool picture to take.

Well, on that very poetic and positively exciting piece of information, I'm off to bed. Good day/night/whatever everybody.

Post by: Hollewanderer on January 24, 2005, 04:36:51 pm: It was Nazi moonbase, I tell you! NAZI MOONBASE! They arm their evil laser-cannon-thingy to DESTROY THE WOOORLD!!!
We are in desperate need of spaceships to repel the evil Nazi assault before it's too late.
Spaceships... with napalm. That'll teach them.

Post by: vyper on January 24, 2005, 04:45:50 pm: It's a temporal distortion caused by the third... fourth... fifth maybe incarnation of Daniels from Enterprise.

Yes.

Nazis are overplayed in ST.

Post by: Hollewanderer on January 24, 2005, 04:52:48 pm: We'll napalm ST too! There is never enough delicious fire!
And those are goo... well, not quite good, but superior Nazis! They have killer cyborg zombie SS robot satanic clones and 1337" cannons! And cyber-Hitler! And they are on the dark side of the Moon! Moon! You can't discuss with their mad Moon powers! ST can go bite some shiny metal ass, I say!
That's it, before we set it on fire. Or after. It's more FUN that way!

The SDF-1 has landed.

(From the novels, anyways, that's what it did.)

Post by: Tiara on January 24, 2005, 06:57:46 pm: Yup, usually the clouds (which are essentially water) cause it. i just saw it when I was outside with the dog. :)

That's a pretty suspicious acronym... I'm willing to bet there's some kind of ulterior, sinister motive behind that...
