    Age and Sex Poll

    Heh, yeah, unfortunatly the laws of biology dont work that way. You see, after you are no longer in an embryonic state, your body stops producing telomerase, which is necissary to halt the cell death process. You see, everytime your chromosomes in your body go under mitosis and divide, they are slightly cut shorter during the process. The telomerase acts as an enzyme which cuts fills in the space of the telomers formed during this process, so that the DNA can be replicated in full. If you dont produce it, you loose that small portion.

     

    SO, this means every chromosome in your body has a shelf life. Once the chromosome no longer contains enough information you need in your DNA, the cell dies through apoptosis. The chromosomes are in a sense biologically designed to die. We are biologically assigned to age and die.

     

    Unless you found a way to reactivate those telomerase enzymes, I'm afraid your old.

    Much better, still a slight imperfection in the straight line , but its definatly workable.

    Was that imperfection near the edge of the rock, near the spotlight?

    No, not so much. More the straight line spanning the width of the page. It was straight, then slightly split lvled under the R in rush.... but now its gone a 3rd time sad.gif

    And The Camera Eye is back to a tying position thanks to the little green fighting machine.

     

    Unfortunatly, I highly doubt any DVD will be released for the R30 tour. They just spent a great deal of time and money making RIR, I wouldnt expect any new live DVDs unless it is going to be their final one.

    I think the answer is everyone of your posts Moonraker:

    In the dog days
    People look to Sirius

    THERE YOU GO yes.gif

     

    Lol, the funniest part, the lyric I used was in my signature the entire time. The picture is of Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky.

    I met Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull once. But that was only because a handful of fans were standing outside the dressing room door for an hour after he did his Rubbing Elbows concert last year. He didnt exit through that door, but was kind enough to meet and sign an autograph for everyone who waited. Very nice person.

    Holy crap RR, that is an incredible picture of a galaxy that is very hard to find. The only way to get that kind of shot of a Seyfert galaxy is if you taking from an angle completely parallel to the dust cloud surrounding the galaxy. Very beautiful shot there.

    Either

    Six Stars of the Northern Cross

    or

    set a course just east of Lyra
    And northwest of Pegasus
    Flew into the light of Deneb
    Sailed across the Milky Way


    both from Cygnus X-1
