Fun facts about Jupiter

Leave a reply

So I was doing a daily workout for Lumosity (as one should when paying for a premium subscription) and stumbled upon some interesting facts about Jupiter. But then one sentence caught my eye – “there is a total absence of solid matter on the planet”. Why did it catch my eye? Because earlier there had been description of the liquid portion of Jupiter being an ocean. And oceans have ocean floors, right? So … what’s at the center of Jupiter? For that matter, what holds Jupiter together? And how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Jupiter Roll Pop?  Clearly further research needed to be done on at least one of those questions, so I turned to our favorite future overlord, Google. I started with what’s at the center of Jupiter, but then transitioned to what holds jupiter together. The first result, an article from … Continue reading →

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Playlist

Leave a reply

When listening to soundtracks, I frequently like to listen to the tracks chronologically (i.e. in the order they were used in the film). So I thought I’d share that playlist-like order for “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2“. I’ve also tried to provide spoiler-free alternate titles for the scenes that go with song. Enjoy! “Brandy You’re a Fine Girl” – Looking Glass Prologue “Mr. Blue Sky” – Electric Light Orchestra Defending the batteries “Lake Shore Drive” – Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah Leaving the Sovereign “The Chain” – Fleetwood Mac Leaving with Ego “Southern Nights” – Glen Campbell Rocket on the prowl “My Sweet Lord” – George Harrison Ego’s planet “Come a Little Bit Closer” – Jay and the Americans Yondu’s escape “Bring it On Home to Me” – Sam Cooke This unspoken thing between us “Brandy You’re a Fine Girl” (Reprise) Ego consoles Peter “Wham Bang Shang-A-Lang” … Continue reading →

Bridal* Falls

Leave a reply

Yesterday we went on a little excursion up the Columbia River Gorge. While it was gorgeous and lots of fun, we were surprised that one of the falls was named Bridal Veil Falls since we could think of at least one other falls named something like that (Niagara). So I took to Google to try and find where else waterfalls had taken on a matrimonial nom de plume. https://www.google.com/search?q=bridal+falls&oq=bridal+falls&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3.6073j0j4&client=ms-android-att-aio-us&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 Apparently it’s not that easy. So I thought I’d try and compile a list here.
