That fire that you see in the sky?
That's my running shoes on fire being reflected.
'Nature was calling' ... no, yelling to me to get to the washroom. :oP
Light refraction, is what it is. The spectrum of light and angle of the sun's light rays produce those gorgeous colours.
Ever notice that some sunsets are more spectacular? Depending on the season?
Differing position of the sun in relation to the earth. Now, you know. :o)

A smart bomb is only as clever as the idiot that tells it what to do
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Meaning:
It's better to have a small actual advantage than the chance of a greater one.
Origin:
It isn't until the 19th century that we find the phrase in its currently used form. The earliest I've located is in a US newspaper The Huron Reflector, from January 1833:
"But few persons, so prone are we to grasp at the shadow at the expense of the substance, bear in mind the good old adage, 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.'"
This refers to the phrase as old. How long the current version predates 1833 isn't clear, but variations of the phrase have been known for centuries. The earliest English version of the proverb is from the Bible and was translated into English in Wycliffe's version in 1382, although Latin texts have it from the 13th century:
Ecclesiastes IX - A living dog is better than a dead lion.
Alternatives that explicitly mention birds in hand come later. The earliest of those is in Hugh Rhodes' The boke of nurture or schoole of good maners, circa 1530:
"A byrd in hand - is worth ten flye at large."
John Heywood, the 16th century collector of proverbs, recorded another version in his ambitiously titled A dialogue conteinyng the nomber in effect of all the prouerbes in the Englishe tongue, 1546:
"Better one byrde in hande than ten in the wood."
The Bird in Hand was adopted as a pub name in the UK in the Middle Ages and there are still many pubs of that name there. This refers back to mediaeval falconry where a bird in the hand (the falcon) was certainly worth more than two in the bush (the prey).
The term bird in hand must have been known in the USA by 1734, as that is the date when a small town in Pennsylvania was founded with that name.

in specific
Why it is possible for the C.A.T. Scan guy to come take my grandfather for his test, say "Hold on, let me make sure I have a signed consent form for you" - and never come back again. I honestly believe if I hadn't been there, it would have taken the e.r. a minimum of 3 hours to figure out my grandfather hadn't gotten tested - which would have meant that instead of getting his test 2 hours late, it would have been more in the area of 4 to 5 hours late. Nice notification process all the way around there.
P.S. - In between the Scan tech never coming back and having the test rescheduled, they managed to lose the signed consent form and I had to sign a new one. Oh yeah, well oiled machine that place was Saturday night.
He's fine btw, was more a case of 90 year old throwing up and and can't keep food down? Might just be a bug but swing him by the e.r. just in case.

This just noted from the Financial Times:-
"Al Gore, former US vice president, and the UN climate panel won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for raising awareness of the risks of climate change.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee chose Gore and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to share the $1.5m prize from a field of 181 candidates.
The choice of Mr Gore will give rise to concerns - for US conservatives at least - about the perceived politicisation of the prize, previously awarded to Jimmy Carter and Mohamed El Baradei. It raises questions about the broadening of the prizes criteria beyond the traditional understanding of peacemaking."
Just a little more insight for some as to why Phil is testing 'his cranial tolerances against an immovable object'.

Why do Disney use James Newton Howard's score from the 2003 version of Peter Pan as the music for their tourism commericals?
They wouldnt have any part in making the movie as they refused to pay the required royalty fee to the Great Ormond Street Childrens hospital. The hospital was gifted the copyright to the story by J M Barrie and anyone wishing to dramatise it must make a donation to the hospital.
Disney said they had made two donations already in 50 years & didnt see why they should have to do it again. nice.

Why anyone would want to eat a pretzel with cheese at the movies... :-P
Sorry, I never heard of it before and it just sounds strange to me...
and no, we DON'T buy vegemite sandwiches from the candy bar, thankyou very much...

Vegemite can't be as disgusting as Armour Treat(R)(C)(Tm)...
Why is canned Mackeral cheaper than canned cat food..? Our cat would leave us bloody stumps for arms if we brought out mackeral for din din...

why all prices end in ".99" or ".95". Are people really expected to see that, and not just round up?

Here's a great mystery of the world. What's up with anal probing ? I mean seriously.
Aliens fly billions of miles, blow through red lights, do the occasional California roll through a stop sign here & there, toss out beer cans & litter up the celestial highways.... just to get here & stick a metal cattle prod up our butts ?

i don't know about you guys, but i REALLY want to know why the word raspberry is spelled with a 'p' but pronounced without one. I suppose it's just one of the many Great Mysteries of the English language...

why people see fit to just click on an image's page, and not open the image to see it at it's full size.
I mean, really. Why bother? Is it that you're going to the page, and "oh, this is 'so-and-so's work...nevermind"? If you can't be bothered or don't have the time or whatever to comment, at least open it. It shows the artist you give a damn.
Unless you don't...
ok,I'm done. I just felt that needed saying..

Rob, I've occasionally clicked on something from the new images gallery, and seeing the larger page image realized it wasn't what I thought it was and wasn't interested in seeing the full-size image from there.

ok, just that I've seen a much higher (closer) ratio of views to downloads of certain artists (no,not just mine) that were bracketed by lesser known, or perhaps poplular artists.
That kinda sucks...

#1. The positioning of the great pyramids of Giza relative to the combined continental land mass?
#2. Why cant American car manufacturers get their heads round building quality cabins and suspension systems developed in this century?
#3. Who is the father of Katie Holmes baby?
That kind of thing .
So I thought it would be fun for people to post their queries on the mysteries of life and see if anyone else has answers for them ..
