If you want to know what the weather is on the windiest place in the world you can check it 24/7 here. https://xmountwashington.appspot.com/csc.html

Example.



I often use the website wetherunderground (not to be confused with the terrorist group) and I can enter an ICAO airport code to get weather when I fly in the Sim. Last month I flew to Antarctica and to my amazement they had the METAR for that base there. I flew there from Stanly in the Falkland Islands.

Stanley Kubrick was the first choice to make A.I.
He passed away in 1999 and the film was put on hold until Steven Spielberg picked it up in 2001. The Kubrick Production Company is still credited with making the film.

The Twin Towers collapsed just 3 months after the movie was released. Even though its set in the distant future, Spielberg decided to not digitally remove the towers for the DVD version.

That's just like in the movie Gangs of New York. At the end of the movie you can see the city change from year to year and the World Trade Towers were shown. The movie is an absolute classic.

Prior to 9/11 the first Spider Man movie was being made and there was a scene where Spider Man traversed though the towers. When 9/11 happened they edited that scene out.

It's actually pretty amazing to see the towers in film and TV shows. I think Ghostbusters has shown them.

Ron Jeremy as 1456 credits on IMDB.
And that doesnt include all the undocumented underground stuff he claims to have done.

Not that remarkable. Most people of European ancestry are descendants of John Lackland.


I'm actually related to a Norwigan king and the town that used to be bears my last name. Of course, I won't say what the name of the town is otherwise you'd know my real name.

If you google 'how many galaxies in the universe' that is the number that comes up first but it turns out the number is more like 2 trillion.

One of the most fundamental questions in astronomy is that of just how many galaxies the universe contains. The landmark Hubble Deep Field, taken in the mid-1990s, gave the first real insight into the universe's galaxy population. Subsequent sensitive observations such as Hubble's Ultra Deep Field revealed a myriad of faint galaxies. This led to an estimate that the observable universe contained about 200 billion galaxies.

The new research shows that this estimate is at least 10 times too low.

Conselice and his team reached this conclusion using deep-space images from Hubble and the already published data from other teams. They painstakingly converted the images into 3-D, in order to make accurate measurements of the number of galaxies at different epochs in the universe's history. In addition, they used new mathematical models, which allowed them to infer the existence of galaxies that the current generation of telescopes cannot observe. This led to the surprising conclusion that in order for the numbers of galaxies we now see and their masses to add up, there must be a further 90 percent of galaxies in the observable universe that are too faint and too far away to be seen with present-day telescopes. These myriad small faint galaxies from the early universe merged over time into the larger galaxies we can now observe.
