Napping in a precariously small box
There's a lady who's sure all that flies is thin gold
And she's buying the stairway to Probe.
When she gets there she knows, all the hover doors a closed
With a switch she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to Probe.

There's a lever on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a launchpad by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our money is misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me hail Probe,
Ooh, it makes me hail Probe.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the north,
And my spirit is crying for liftoff.
In my thoughts I have seen coloums of exhaust through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me hail Probe,
Ooh, it really makes me hail Probe.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the Probe will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the galaxy will echo with laughter.

If there's a fuel leak in your third stage, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the launch team.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the orbit you're on.
And it makes me hail Probe.

Your engine is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The Probe is calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the fuel flow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we climb up in the sky
Our smoke plumes taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you hail him very hard
The Probe will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rocket and not to roll.

And she's buying the stairway to Hail Probe.

  • Friend: "Hey, cool Mac! Does it have Windows!?"
  • Me: (incredulous stare)
  • Friend: "Oh, wait, that was stupid. All Macs have Windows."

That one actually isn't as stupid as it sounds. I know hardly any Mac user that wouldn't have an XP installation in a vm, mostly for gaming purposes, but also for versatility reasons. You get a mac, you can run windows without trouble. You get a windows machine, no such luck vice versa.

The 26ºC days go on here... in fact, more than 26...

Here we're just getting under 26°C the afternoon. Which is unusual for the season. And not a drop of rain, azure skies for weeks. Should get some harmless clouds this weekend, but temps will stay quite high (18-23°C).

Vice-versa here, i have a VM with MacOS for iPhone development, and it works nicely.

The competition involves people eating the "Kismot Killer" curry.

Pair in hospital after Kismot 'killer' curry contest

Ms Kim came second in the contest.

"The woman who won ate the last bowl in four seconds and then ran outside to be sick where as I didn't so I've learned I should have had a game plan like that," she said.

"There were three rounds and I managed half of the last bowl.


I think I've been there.

Jeeze, it's snowing heavily outside. I guess Winter has come at the beginning of Autumn. :blink:

Alright, let's see... Bosnia has no government for a year now, can't take any loans, isn't paying salaries, all because the elected representatives can't agree who of them is a rightfull representative although constitutionally the thing is pretty clear.

Noone has taken to the streets because of that, noone has organised protests, noone is calling for reelections. The country goes to hell, and noone cares.

Now there's a football match in Sarajevo, and suddenly there's riots and burning cars in the streets! :beathead::beathead::chainsaw:

It's stuff like this that makes me feel reeeeeeally depressed...

People always talk about evolution. Here's a different kind of evolution.

A nice plane in World War 1 might have an interior similar to this:

Skipping to World War 2, a very nice plane that we like to call the "Mustang" looked like this:

Now to a more... modern fighter the F-86 Sabre. The outside does not speak for its cockpit:

Then its bigger cousin, the F-100 Super Sabre.

(Better but come on, its 'Nam. Time for some improvement!)

And McDonnell Douglas said "Let there be improvement!" And there was improvement:

Then Boeing got MD and things looked better:

Then Lockheed Martin owned them (F-22 baby):

Then Lockheed Martin owned themselves:
