Moon satellite gone AWOL

[Iron Condor]

That warrants links & lyrics.

Whenever life get you down, Mrs. Brown,
And things seem hard or tough.
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff!
Just - re-member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
and revolving at 900 miles an hour,
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
the sun that is the source of all our power.
The Sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.
Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars,
it's 100,000 light-years side-to-side,
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick,
but out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide.
We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point,
we go round every 200 million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
in this amazing and expanding universe.
Thurp*
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
in all of the directions it can whizz,
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know,
twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
how amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
because there's bugger all down here on Earth.

I sang that in my head

Monty Python's "The Galaxy Song" from The Meaning of Life

Satellites orbit the moon, the moon orbits the earth, the earth orbits the sun and the sun orbits around the milkyway.

Im starting too feel dizzy..

Can we have your liver?

They will do what they always do in times of deep crisis, smile and do that shaky head thing.

I don't know what that shaky head thing is but I did once suggest that if he didn't stop it I was going to knock his ******* block off

That worked.

[Pogle]

Wonder what its scrap value is..

I thought that someone might...

Do you think they want it back?

Haven't you already digested it?

[motoukenin]

I expect they are really dishapointed

[Zippy]

I blame the Iron Chicken.

I blame you

[Menelaus]

Nah, the Clangers have lifted it

[moorfield]

Must be a software fault!

Much cheapness, plenty quickness.
