New world found far beyond Pluto

Is Pluto even a planet? I mean, as planets go, that one's a bit of a loose cannon if you ask me... :-D

I actually "rediscovered" the stars the other night. I was staring at them and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I think I made out the Big Dipper, but I could be wrong. Punk sis thought I was being silly :-(

I've tried taking pictures of the stars at night but they never come out, even with the longest exposure my digicam will do. I just get a few boring dots. I wish I could set the exposure manually.

Thing is I don't like using real film 'cause it contains cow bits. :-(

Maybe I'll try on someone else's camera when they aren't looking :-)

Well, I suppose film could be part of cows - if cows were made of polyacetate coated with photosensitive silver compounds.

I just googled and I can't find anywhere that says film is made with any kind of biological matter, never mind cows. Where did you get that from, tpg?

I can't remember where I heard it first, but:

For example, the Co-op is the only supermarket chain to state on camera film "Like all photographic film, contains animal ingredient - gelatine"

From the Co-Op site.

Most jelly these days is made of carageenan, which comes from seaweed. So you have the choice of pig bone or seaweed jelly. MMMhhh good.

Depends which kind you buy. The powdered sachet stuff is usually carageenan, but the old-school stuff that comes in sticky, gooey blocks is still generally non-veggie.

Besides, seaweed's nice! Haven't you ever had Japanese rice-crackers? :-)

Wow :-)

I've always wanted a telescope, but my mum put me off, by telling me I'd end up like Patrick Moore, with one eye bigger than the other. :lol:

Not the best remedy for neck-cramps though, he he ;-)
