**** INTRO ****

Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

You and I are intelligent life visiting the Earth!

No, we're not visiting. We're here for the duration. Not even I can escape Earth, no matter how much money I pay.

Even if I could get off this gravity well, I wouldn't fucking bother. At best, we might be able to manage to live on Mars - while being dependent on Earth for various supplies. (Given the current tech and the progress of tech.)

I mean, right now we could not live on Mars...

We've tried to have humans live in isolated habitats more than once. Each time, they've failed. They couldn't even make it a year in their enclosed habitat. That's with the best of circumstances!

So, I see no reason to leave the planet at this time. By the time it's worth leaving the planet, we won't have to worry about living on Mars. We'll just be able to live in the ship that brought us there. Anything short of that is fuckin' pointless. If we're on Mars and a giant rock takes out all the life on Earth, we're still gonna die - just more slowly and painfully.

Ah well...

I have authored a couple of articles, so I now officially have a spare article again.

Methinks I'm gonna try sleeping.

Two days without smoking!

When we die we will no longer be on Earth!

[–] • 0 pt

LOL I'm pretty sure when we die we just cease to be and our rotting carcasses will remain - for a while...

Eventually the atoms that made us will make new things. But, they're probably not going very far. At least not for billions and billions of years. Even if our Sun eats up the planet or bakes it to a crisp, our atoms won't go too far. Eventually another star system is slated to bump into us, which will cause holy hell of collisions. At that point, those atoms that once made us will be smashed around all over the place and who knows where they'll go?

But, any sense of 'us' will be long, long gone by then.

I'm pretty sure...

Of course, I could be completely wrong about what happens when we die. If the religious fundamentalists are correct (which seems really unlikely) I'm destined to spend eternity in hell. Those folks operate by using fear as a weapon, which seems an unlikely tactic from an omnipotent being. Their entire belief system is full of illogical things, so I'm pretty sure they're wrong.

Also, I've tried to not gush all week... But, damn do I love this week's car.
