From where, Ceres?

[BillGeek]

Sounds interesting...

Perhaps we should try something similar... build a GIANT slingshot, and propel a rock to the moon.

Anyone interested???

[Asgorath]

a trebucher is better

[BillGeek]

Okay okay... I'll start working on it today...

I hope it lands next to Beagle II. Then we can put a little picket fence around it and charge admission.

This mission is useless without pictures.

Was the moon annihilated in a fiery conflagration or did the craft merely go splat in a disappointing fashion?

Also how fast was the collision? Was it more than 100mph ?

4,500mph according to the p[lace i read about it.

[wossname]

Wow that's like a million times faster!

Personally, I wanna know more about that ion engine... 80 lbs of fuel? That's gotta be a record...

That would be quite an achievment. Especially as Beagle II crashed into Mars.

[BodwadUK]

lol humour him

[visualAd]

I tried. It made me puke.

[mendhak]

Tickle his fancy.

Now that you mention it, this looks like a load of broken webserver parts. Certainly looks flimsy and inefficient.

first time Mendhak's signature made sense. Wonder if he understands it himself...

"Dood" is the coolest word ever. That, and "moron" in Welsh.

here's a good 'un: klojo

[wossname]

Pobol y Cwm. Awwwwww YEAHHHH!

[mendhak]

What's a klojo? The dutch words are quite similar, phoenetically at least, to English words. If I were to guess, klojo == klutz.

Or I could try it on grilkip.

[Wally Pipp]

klojo is actually an orifice for excrement.

[mendhak]

Well I'll be a son of a kankerlijer

[Wally Pipp]

hakuchi

[wossname]

Dim parcio!

[grilkip]

Heimen, Heimen, het ook altied wat.
Kriebel an de kont of juk an't gat.
