Shouldn't the Shuttle Atlantis be a submarine? :?

You'd think so, but I suspect NASA have some fairly wacky engineers. I mean, they keep strapping people to giant fireworks!

That picture is now my desktop background (ib?).

Barton: Have you read the Bible, Pete?
Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

Great picture. Looks rather like a huge lemon with an earwig crawling on it.

Indeed. I would have named it the Shuttlecock.

Or the Earwig.

I've been sent a fantastic picture which shows the true scale of the planets in the solar system in comparrison to one another. Only problem is that I can't post pictures on TM for some reason.

Would someone be willing to PM me their email address so that they can upload it onto this thread for all to enjoy?

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.
