| I woke up around four, got dressed and got to see the Moon when it was still 2/3-covered. The rest of the Moon was still red. |

| How can we pour water in outer space? How can there be water in outer space? |

My guess is that gravity would pull the water in, crack (break into its separate atoms) the water, and then you would have a heavier star with a different (lower) hydrogen/oxygen ratio. Probably burn faster, so its spectral peak would shift from 500 nm, or whatever it is now, towards 400 nm (from green towards blue). So it would be more bluish-white. And we'd all fry. I'll click the link now and see if I got close.
Joe - yeah, "pour" wouldn't be the right verb. More like "get pulled in by a strong gravity field." Any large mass, in space, will tend to form a sphere, if it's by itself. But this water is right next to the sun, so it gets sucked into the sun. |

Bart, I think one answer was almost exactly what you said.
And yeah, the idea is it's kind of a dumb non-science question, answered by scientists. |

| It's one of those questions scientists like to play with, I guess. The answer being that you can't destroy the sun with water. You'd need a giant sun-eating robot manufactured by the Lex Luthor Corporation. (Patent pending.) |

FYI, NYers - I don't work at the K2 Lounge anymore, but they're showing M*A*S*H downstairs at 9:30pm this Friday. It's still one of my favorites, and it's so rarely shown uncut on TV (even on cable). Here's the upcoming schedule, for old times' sake:

| I didn't know they were still doing those screenings. But then, I don't get down in that neighborhood much anymore since my friend on 17th Street moved back to South Carolina. Looks like an interesting lineup, though. |

The British Pathe newsreel company has released all its film to YouTube, to be accessed free by anyone. There's everything from the Hindenberg disaster to cute dogs dressed for weddings. The Pathe site is here.

Who is Adele Dazeem?
The name Travolta uttered at the Oscars when he was supposed to say "Idina Menzel." He's just as much an idiot off screen as he often is ON. (I'm talking The Thin Red Line here. I'm talking Battlefield Earth. I'm talking The General's Daughter. I'm talking...enough already. |
