I agree. A petition for the return of Kirstie Alley to a TV screen near me :)
My new favourite phrase - "misdirected leisure activity"
LOL I meant the drool icon :D

For their successful lunar probe!
Let's just hope this is a step towards becoming a more advanced society so they stop doing the horrible things they do.

Either Shog9 from udder space is a good deal younger than me or he really does have no appreciation for classics. My dad, mom, sister and I used to watch Cheers every week. MASH was on around the same time too.
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

According to Wikipedia, i should remember Cheers, but... i don't. I remember Fraiser, and various other shows that referenced Cheers. I remember a number of lawsuits surrounding the use of the name on actual bars. But... MASH... i remember watching re-runs in the late '90s. I think i've managed to block out most '80s pop-culture. Wife and i were talking about this the other day... i don't remember a non-freakish Michael Jackson either.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

He was always freakish, people just didn't know it yet.

Calling him a freak is an insult to people whose plastic surgery noses are falling off. :laugh:

For their successful lunar probe!
Yes, congratulations! I can't wait for someone to put another man on the moon. Yes it was done 40 years ago, but that was so last century. We need to kick start another drive for the 21st century. If we, in this world, can get over our maddening greed, we could move forward and get some good space exploration done. We should be able to get man to the moon again, establish a moon base, then on to Mars. So much for my wishful thinking/hoping.

Unless we build a major fraction of a Mars ship on the Moon, I question its actual benefit to the end goal. The only thing we could learn is if 1/6th g is enough to keep the body from falling apart.

Thank you! and good to hear that. And more proud of the fact this is from a place where a large part still depends on bullock carts.

Two months back while I was in Bangalore had seen few on the city roads.
-Suhredayan
Sorry! I'm in Bangalore for the last 5+ yrs., never seen even one on the city roads. My point was - India has changed, Indians have too - in our own way. A majority of India doesn't ride on bullock carts today. Our house maid has a cellphone, just like my newspaper delivery boy. They're aware of the Chandrayaan-I - whose main control room is in Bidar - just a few kilometers away from Bangalore city. The Tata Nano is undergoing its final road tests, while Honda reduced the price of the Honda Civic Hybrid by 8+ Lakhs! <quote> Chandrayaan-I cost ISRO US$80 million ($120.193 million), compared to Japan's Selene mission's US$480 million, or China's Change-E1 mission that cost US$187 million. The European Space Agency's (ESA) Small Mission for Advanced Research in Technology (SMART-1) in 2003 cost US$140 million. </quote>

Your original comment did not sound like that. Also - the article clearly mentioned it was done as a form of protest. Otherwise bullock carts aren't used for transport in the city. Anyway - as both of us are proud of our country, let this argument RIP.
