We know you love saving his behind whenever you can, but don't make it
so obvious.

Yeah, what he said! Cuz I did the math! And it proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Obama's numbers are not really big when compared to the others on a per year basis. Er. Never mind.

In the Origins section it says, "(In fact, a kilometer is only about 62%
of a mile.)"

One Kilometer is longer than a mile. 1 kilometer = 0.621371 of a mile
according to distance translator I used.

Somewhere, a math teacher is crying.

[hambubba]

Wow, my brain hurts. BTW, 55 miles per aitch is 100 kilometers per aitch. aboot.

[ganzfeld]

Not quite but it's just enough to travel through time. In a metric DeLorean. 88 kph.

Comment: Where might i read about how thi article related to Buzz Aldrin
taking communion on the moon can be documented? I do not understand the
physical possibility since they were in sealed suits.

Comment: In your Humor > Loony Letters section, you have an article on a
Teacher writing a letter home about one of his students, Adam Hilliker.

http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/hilliker.asp

After the image, in your explanation, you assert that one kilometer is 62%
of a mile; that makes it sound like one kilometer is shorter than one
mile.

Please forgive my confusion, but according to Google conversion, one
kilometer equals 0.621371 mile. That looks to me like one mile is SHORTER
than one kilometer, making the teacher's claim true and yours ...not so
much.

If it helps, I went to http://www.google.com and typed in "convert 1
kilometer to mile" to get the conversion I explained to you. Did I miss
something?

Comment: I read Snope's rebuttal of the "lost day". In the rebuttal,
there is a statement that one cannot determine if time stopped.
Astra-scientists can ascertain if there is a time discrepancy by the
movement of the stars in relation to each other and to earth. If one
projects these relationships back in time, and there is no loss of time,
then there should be no discontinuity with respect to each other. The
different stars and galaxies move at different rotational and lateral
rates and thus any discontinuity in the projected paths would provide
evidence of a change.

I do not dispute that NASA had not run the calculations, but I don't
believe that Snope's can give a definite "False" to the concept of a lost
period of time until this exercise is accomplished.

Comment: Are there 11 to 14 million illegal aliens in Arizona who are not
working, not paying any taxes, and receiving free medical care and
services from the government?

[Ieuan ab Arthur]

Yes, and most are from the planet Zzzitzblarg in the Horsehead Nebula.

NSFBSK Zzzitzblargians! They come to our planet and get free medical care and Government services. Next thing you know, they'll be taking our jobs.

Ta ra 'wan,

Ieuan "Travel broadens the mind" ab Arthur

[Mad Jay]

Haha.. I looked up the stats for Arizona, and Arizona's population is 6 million.

[damian]

But the "illegals" wouldn't fill out the census forms, so they wouldn't be counted. In fact, if it wasn't so hard to get a parking spot at the mall, nobody would have noticed.

Comment: We have heard that as the ice bergs melt the sea level will rise.
When I freeze ice it expands then when melted it shrinks. So is this
information true or not about rising sea levels?

Comment: Buzz Aldrin may not have admitted the Apollo moon landings were fake, but anybody with half a brain knows that leaving the Earth's magnetosphere without a lead lined spacecraft would expose the occupants to deadly solar and cosmic radiation. If they had ventured out beyond the Earth's protection, and passed through the Van Allen radiation belts, they would not be around today to talk about it. The lunar module is not capable of life support outside of Earth's magnetosphere, and the space suits were too flimsy to survive in the conditions on the moons surface. They were always inside the magnetosphere. Otherwise, they would have been fried passing through the Van Allen radiation belts. No astronaut has ever gone beyond the Earth's magnetosphere!

[GenYus234]

See, your problem is that you are using information from people with half brains. You should really be using information from people with their entire brain.

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

They may be on to something here - how many of the original Apollo astronauts are still alive?

Actually, the space suits were all lined with tinfoil, so the astronauts were all OK.
