Solar Eclipse

[Jupiter]

I just noticed that Scotland is going to have a Solar Eclipse. Sometimes what follows this event are earthquakes after a few days, that has been the pattern.

Gav over in Scotland, please give us your report when the event is over?

Sorry, I don't want to alarm anyone, I just saw it and put it together so let's see what happens. I've been watching things like these phenomena for the past 10 years. After earthquakes usually follow some flooding.

Can you reveal your sources? Place a reference or is this another blanket suggestion to evacuate?

[MyrddinsPrecint]

EVERYONE LEAVE SCOTLAND, THE SUN AND MOON ARE COMING INTO ALIGNMENT, WHICH MEANS THE SHEEP WILL START RAPING YOUR MOTHERS.

or, y'know, it could be jupiter being jupiter..

just, y'know, a possibility.

My dad is a Geologist.

I asked him if there is any tie between eclipses of any type and earthquakes. He said no. Then laughed at me. Politely of course.

congratulations; my daddy's a mechanic, my mommy a baker, they shoot golf under 100; my kaka is a computer repairman, my sister is a mommy, my auntie curls her hair; my doggie eats dog-food which has mad cow disease! My kittie and my blue-fish are both deceased, my other sister shot a hole in one when she was 13 years old, she laughed out loud at the rest of them and she had to buy a round of beer for the rest so much more!

Maybe you can ask him to stop things? I don't know, seeings as how he knows everything?

Scotland will probably have no problems. Solar eclipses affect different areas differently, my prediction is for the middle east again for some earth-movements. Without going into who my sources are, that's the predictions.

GROW UP!

[MyrddinsPrecint]

so instead of the sheep raping our mothers...

the goats? what sorts of animals do they have in the middle east anyway? camels i guess? i should know this, one of my best friends spent two years in the united arab emirates....

[wflaschka]

[crazy talk] ...my kaka is a computer repairman... [crazy talk]

Looks like the eclipse already passed over Jupiter.

Ba-dump bump!

I predict there will be dozens of earthquakes happening on the day of the eclipse.

Of course, I predict there will be dozens of earthquakes happening every day...

The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes. The NEIC now locates about 50 earthquakes each day, or about 20,000 a year.

We will, however, have slightly higher high tides. But then we always do when there's a new moon, which is the only possible phase for a solar eclipse.

[Jupiter]

now we're getting on the same page, lets keep an open mind about things here, that's what science is really all about. Lunar and solar activites are associated with higher tides, and why is that? because water moves more freely molecularly speaking [i just bought speakers on e-bay, the word just popped in there], so the gravitational pull of things will change slightly, moving water, yes, first, then what else? Possibly earth movements under the sea, which will be interesting, and lastly, if at all, eathmovements on the surface, and of course, wherever faults are and move vulnerable areas. There are things that people can do during earthquakes, which I don't know all of them, but have learned some. Very interesting, the tide thing [also my fav. detergent]

and I am aware of the fact that there are hundreds of earthquakes each year, and why is that, because each year the gravitational pull on the earth changes or shifts due to solar and lunar activities, i thought it was interesting.

What happened to Craigs PayPal? I thought I saw it on the board, its' gone now. And his store, what happened to his store?

You are fairly ignorant when it comes to tectonic movement, and the how different conditions may act on the Earth. In fact, you really don't know what your talking about.

I am glad to hear your parents are under 100 on their golf game. However, it is unfortunate you feed your dog disease ridden food. I hope this wasn't the cause of your previous pet's demise.

Perhaps, the gravitational alignment would pull some screws into place in one of the solar planets!

Jupiter...this doesn't refer to the solar eclipse and earthquakes...I just thought you might be interested...

"Currently, the Moon's distance from the Earth is increasing by about 3 centimeters per year....The slow spiralling out of the Moon means that there will come a time in the future when the angular size of the Moon will be smaller than the Sun's and we will not have any more total solar eclipses! Fifty billion years in the future the Earth day will equal 47 of our current days and the Moon will take 47 of our current days to orbit the Earth. Both will be locked with only one side facing the other---people on one side of the Earth will always see the Moon while people on the other side will only have legends about the Moon that left their pleasant sky."

That's the odds that Mango will ever have a response that is both informative and stays on topic at the same time...

And this one is a real gem in that she is encouraging others to stay on topic at the same time she's the one to go off on a ramble, on her OWN topic!

Moving along to the original topic of the eclipse: We only had a partial view of it from Alaska but wasn't able to see it anyway as I was at a tournament and didn't want to lug my scope as well as all my club's fencing gear. Some killer flares going on right now though, I'm hoping it stays clear this evening so I can set up the NextStar 5 and watch the sun go down. Should have good viewing until 9 p.m. or so.

I got a few pm's from the civil person, who is actually a vendor mad at me because i don't buy his stuff anymore. Sorry, but it's too cheesy for me.

[D'Artagnan1673]

50 billion years from now there will be no earth, sun and moon as we know it today.

Has Mango ever been rude to anyone unless previously provoked? I realise the earlier post to Civil Fencer was a little harsh but generally she is very nice in her posts. I don't have a problem with her posts. In fact, thanks to her off the wall post Corrinna2u made a very fascinating comment on the Earth and moon.

Lets play nice.

***Edit*** Mango, you aren't helping yourself by making posts like the one under the guise of Dreadfoil

[dreadfoil]

thank you d'art. but, i lost my password,again, that's the original reason I switched names, first mango but lost p/w, so changed. actually, it doesn't matter really, I don't know why anyone would want to make a fuss. As to rude, well, you're correct, I never initiate arguements, but I will attack first on the strip. I will defend myself and if you want to call that rude, go right ahead.

One of the things I've learned about the board is that there are many people who believe they know things about you and jump all around like little jackinthe boxes to try to 'trap' you in something. If a person jumps into other conversations to contribute that's another matter altogether.

Most of us don't try to trap others into retracting statements, people who spend all of their time studying a sentence to search for a little area to exploit are merely users. It's a misplaced skill - and sadly, a bid to appear intelligent and 'laser sharp' as one other person put it. Let's not fall into the same trap. Many detractors on the board are merely interested in promoting their own point of view under the guise of being involved in a nobel sport. And what point of view? What, pray tell are they defending? It doesn't seem to be fencing! It also appears that many people are defensive about their positions, without realizing that actually they are being agreed with. Well! what can one say in the face of this strange twist of thought!

I feel it was because our new webmaster brought Mango's name to the attention of others. I really had no desire for that sort of attention, but she was very innocent about it, not realizing how others may take things.

Let's carry on in the spirit of e'spirt d'corps and all for one, once more!

I'm a bit confused here. If this is me, then you need to be corrected.

1) I have never PM'd you.
2) I am not a vendor.

If there is a better signature quote for Jupiter, et al, than this, I have yet to see it!
