Ok, here's another one; What's this and what does it have to do with high performance Japanese bikes?

[98tls]

Magnified image of something in synthetic oil.......really have no idea

[skelstar]

One of saturn's moons. Maybe one of the sheperd moons in the belts..


Actually I think it might be too small for one of those.

[Steam]

Yep, it's certainly an astronomical object, staying with the theme. If nobody guesses before tomorrow night I'll give the answer.
Here's a clue, the name of a famous Japanese bike.

[skelstar]

Is it 'Itokawa' and is being photographed by the Japanese Hyabusa space probe?

[98tls]

Firestorm.......:shutup:

[Steam]

Is it 'Itokawa' and is being photographed by the Japanese Hyabusa space probe?

Sweet! Good brainy research nerd! Yep, 100%.
Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I have been waiting for ages to do something related to the Hayabusa (bike) and also the probe.

Again! again!

[skelstar]

I was bored...

[98tls]

Is it 'Itokawa' and is being photographed by the Japanese Hyabusa space probe? well done.....

[Krayy]

Is it 'Itokawa' and is being photographed by the Japanese Hyabusa space probe?
I was gonna say that it was a Rice Bubble, and the link was the term "Rice-rocket" :scooter:

[crazybigal]

spaceman poo?

[crazybigal]

its called the "Cassini division"

Can anyone tell me what feature makes the planet Uranus (no anus jokes please) different from all the other planets in the solar system?

Green for correct (my) answer.

.................................................. .................................................. ..

[Steam]

Um... off the top of my head I remember it's unusual because it has rings which are on right angles to the ecliptic? And it rotates in a different direction to all the other planets. Maybe it was in a BIG impact in the past.

[skelstar]

Bloody close (and prob true) but not what I was after.

[cowpoos]

Come on poos.
its name starts with a vowel?

[skelstar]

Like 'Earth'?....I'd stick to counting to 6 bud.

[cowpoos]

Like 'Earth'?....I'd stick to counting to 6 bud.
fuck......earth doesn't count!!!!!

[Lissa]

The rings are invisiable (faint)? I'm googling... is that cheating?

[cowpoos]

its the only one you wouldn't name a pet after????

[cowpoos]

The rings are invisiable (faint)? I'm googling... is that cheating?

Well then you are a Super Super Grundy Dumb Dumb! :p

Ummm I have the answer "an Earth sized protoplanet collided with Uranus, causing the skewed orientation" (NOT COPIED FROM WIKI) :innocent:

[cowpoos]

telling ma on ewe!!!! you hurt my feeling!!

[Lissa]

telling mum on ewe!!!! you hurt my feeling!!

Cry baby! Awwww ok you are just a Super Grundy Dumb then.... all better now? Now go milk some cows!!! :dodge:

Hurry up Skel.... I had the answer!

[McJim]

It's the only planet in the solar system to be called Uranus....in fact it's the only Uranus in the solar system.

[skelstar]

Im going to finish this. Steam practically said it.

"One of the most distinctive features of Uranus is its axial tilt of ninety-eight degrees. Consequently, for part of its orbit one pole faces the Sun continually while the other pole faces away. At the other side of Uranus' orbit the orientation of the poles towards the Sun is reversed. Between these two extremes of its orbit the Sun rises and sets around the equator normally."

Steam already has green for the first stab.

Googling is cheating.

[Lissa]

Well done steam you are obviously alot smarter than cowpoos. :D

Now I know that googling is cheating I wont admit to it anymore.

I think McJim should get some rep ... I mean he was right too.

vegemite sucks :)

[ManDownUnder]

vegemite sucks :)

That depends on how you apply it...

[McJim]

Well done steam you are obviously alot smarter than cowpoos. :D

I'm always right - it's just that I'm not always correct - and I don't need the bling coz I'm in the yeasty spread gang.

Thanks anyway.

[skelstar]

I would love to but a) the name of a planet is not a feature...and b) McJim has just been too entertaining and has gotten too much green from me recently.

Go Yeast!

[skelstar]

Come on, Uranus is much smarter than poos (and is one of the gas giants too).
