<< <i>These are some pictures of my boy from today because he's cute too! >>
Did you find him in the bushes too? >>
It certainly looks like he was trying to camouflage himself
That reminds me of a line I was told many years ago...
I was living in the dormitory at my first Air Force base back in the mid-1980's. I answered the hallway phone, and the mother of one of my dormmates was calling. She hadn't heard from her son in several weeks and was pretty upset. Anyway, her line to me just had me rolling...
She ordered me to tell her son that if he did not call her by the end of the night, that his ass was grass, and she was the lawnmower
<< <i>Bobthebuilder..........care to explain that picture? >>
I was looking through the nasa pictures of mars and found what is in the shape of a brick but a little smaller. Notice the perfect right angle. I then thought that if I copied the image and enlarged it, it would look less and less like a brick and more and more like a plane old rock or something. But to my surprise as you enlarge the image it keeps the right angle no matter how much you enlarge it. Try it. Save the image to you computer and enlarge the image more and more and you will see what I mean.

Yes. I also find it strange that the the rover landed near it. It is not just a right angle, it is a right angle with perfectly strait lines for the edges. The whole shape of it looks like a perfect rectangle. The width, length, and depth all have straight lines. Even the front edge is a rectangle.
<< <i>In all seriousness, it looks cool, but igneous rocks have a crystalline structure with very geometric cleavage points. >>
You had to go there. You had to bring up one of the top subjects I can bore someone to death on. Meteorite thin sections are glass slides made for petrology studies with a microscope. They are very thin slices of meteorites that have been polished, usually on both sides, and made thin enough that light can pass through the meteorite's crystalline structure. Viewing a thin section under polarized light you can see the different minerals in it. Meteorite thin section are one of the main ways that meteorites are studied and this is also how earth rocks are studied (but it sounds cooler if I ignore that). I will also ignore most common earth granite rocks would look just as colorful (although their crystals would be much larger).

Then this should really excite you- The wavelengths of every spectral components undergo a Doppler shift and they follow linearly the change in r, that is c/ν =λ =constμr. The energy density E(λ,T)dλ=u(ν,T)dν falling in the spectral range (λ, λ+dλ will then be inversely proportional with the fourth power of the radius E(λ,T)dλ=const/r4 . On the other hand, according to the Stefan-Boltmann law, we have for the integrated energy density ÛE(λ,T)dλ= const/r4=σT4, which means that the absolut temperature is inversely proportional with the slowly varying radius, i.e. T=const/r. We note that expression “slowly varying” here means that we neglect terms of order u2/c2 in calculating the Doppler shift. On the basis of these results if we compare two arbitrary states of the system, we have [E(λ1,T1)dλ1]/[E(λ2,T2)dλ2]=r2 4/r1 4ªq4, that is E(λ,T)dλ=q4E(qλ,q-1T)d(qλ. The solution of the latter functional equation can be expressed as E(λ,T)=λ−5Φ(λT). The dependence on the frequency reads u(ν,T)=ν3F(ν/T), where Φ and F are universal functions. From the condition [ΣE/Σλ]max=0 we obtain that λmaxT=[5Φ/Φ’]max=const is a universal constant whose experimental value is 0.2899cmμgrad. According to Wien’s displacement law, by increasing the temperature of the black-body radiation the position of the maximum energy density is shifted towards the shorter wavelengths (larger frequencies).

The Dopler radar doesn't really quite fit in this discussion, however I find the "slowly varying" factor completely wrong or at glass is half full. The radar can only go in a straight line and they are used in ground base stations. Due to the curvature of the Earth this makes it accurate only a few miles....then the slowly varying factor really starts to kick in and you could miss the super cell completely. Not really a problem however here as in the Oklahoma Kansas area where we invented the Dopler, the desire is that the radar can help find tornadoes. With the Dopler and our understanding of the storm systems, along with a large body of trained spotters, Dopler has been able to do just that. The later upgrades on the system really have seemed to help.
What I noted about the crystalline structure of rocks is pretty basic and something I have shown in grades schools. (They like the colorful Mars and Lunar thin sections a lot), nor did I use any big scientific words as your response seems to suggest, so I hope I wasn't speaking in french.

this is a rube custom smith and wesson 9mm i just got done punching with tiny chisels,which is alot harder to do than knives by a long shot, many months on this on piddling with it, now just need to cut me some grips from deer antlers and it'll be done, its a masterpiece, how come i can do this but cant make a card
