Re: One quiz at a time
Which room in the house would it be commonly found in? Guess: Some form of incense burner? You aren't allowed two questions at once, even if you label one of them 'guess'. It is not any form of incense burner. I should have used a full-stop on the second one instead of a question mark - I was tryin...

Re: One quiz at a time
Is it anything to do with art?
Perhaps it is the name for a new tool used for detecting forgeries of some kind?

Boa Vista. Correct. The Port house is Offley, who produce Offley Boa Vista , CSI:Miami includes a character Natalia Boa Vista , and Boa Vista was the name of a German literary magazine published until 1983 ("old" simply as in "not current" since publishing ceased 30 years ago). ...

But like the goat, this is an animal that has always had a great deal of mythology around it. I once had to mark a dissertation in which the student had written about the artist Joseph Beuys ... In the basement of the floor of the Rene Block Gallery in Berlin, Beuys positioned himself on the floor ...

I'm guessing you have at least an 8" tube to go with that? (Yeah, yeah, double-entendre guy) I have had second thoughts and have ordered one of these to test the step-up in size. I decided that going from 5" to 12" in one go would be challenging for any man so have gone for the inter...

Bit harsh on '91? Will take a bit more time to see, but seems 83-ish in quality to me at the moment (91/92 split aside).jdaw1 wrote:1931 should have been, but wasn’t.

Re: The 2014 Harvest
Anyone into numerology would be worried; '94 is the only year ending in 4 which was a general declaration in the last 100 years (unless 24 was? I know the RP24 was good); years ending in 9 don't generally do well. Nostrophil says 2014 will not be a general declaration, but looks forward to being sp...

It is difficult to find pictures that look exactly like what you see through the scope because all of the images are either blurry like mine or heavily processed. The closest I could find was this , but what I see is brighter and the bands on Jupiter more distinct. Based on that, it sounds like the...
