    Improperly stored fertilizer can explode. I figure it's relevant given the port of Beirut incident.

    Everybody knows the proper way to store fertilizer (amonium nitrate) is on a freshly plowed field. At least out in the farm country where I spend a good deal of my time.

    No point to make here, and wondering why Luxembourg could rank so far ahead ?

    Hundreds of people gathered in a German church last Sunday to hear an organ chord change
    which has been almost seven years in the making.

    [​IMG] ​

    The Saint Burchardi Church in the city of Halberstadt started playing the song in 2001, and the last note change took place in 2013.

    The composition is called "As Slow As Possible". The score is made up of eight pages of music, to be played very slowly. The next chord change will come quickly by comparison – February 5, 2022 is the scheduled date.

    And the entire piece will take 639 years to complete, the song finally ending in 2640.

    If I want my marriage to last, I have to move to Canada? Just being next door isn't enough?

    Mr. Gatling was an ingenious and prolific inventor, and his most famous creation was the iconic Gatling Gun.

    They'd better have passports. We don't let just anybody land.

    Russia has already claimed Venus.

    Venus Is a ‘Russian Planet,’ Roscosmos Chief Says

    “Our country was the first and only one to successfully land on Venus,” Rogozin said.
    “The Russian spacecraft gathered much information about the planet - it is like hell over there.”     ​

    Roscosmos also announced plans Tuesday to launch an independent Russian expedition to Venus
    “without involving wide international cooperation”.
