Whitey Grandad

The only time that it would have been 'live' is when it actually happened and everything since then is produced from some form of magnetic tape. I don't think there was any form of deliberate lying, rather that in a project of this length I would expect some discrepancies. In fact, if it were too perfect I would be suspicious. There's a good book about spying in WW2 called 'Between Silk and Cyanide' by Leo Marks where he explains that the coded messages we were receiving from Europe had no mistakes in them at all whereas the operatives would have been working under extreme constraints so he knew that they must be coming from the enemy. There is one sequence where they point the camera through the window and gradually zoom in to the Earth.

Is that pronounced 'viral'?

Oh no! If Spud has gone it must have already started.

Watch out for zombie raisins. They can be vicious little bastards.

Because twice 0.5 is one. Write 0.5 as 0.5/1 Multiply top and bottom by 2 ...gives 1/2

Shouldn't we see the game first before deciding what it's worth?

So what's the point? Also, you can't have a live recording. It doesn't surprise me that the transcript and the prepared video recording don't agree, but what does it prove?

But if everybody's dead then what will the zombies feed on? This might be the last time they get to rise up and have a rest, so in a sense it's an apocalypse for them too. :-( This hasn't been thought through properly.

Congratulations, it couldn't happen to a nicer couple.

Yes, but you have to be careful not to push the turnstile too soon or you get locked out.

Digital images can be easily faked - ask Pap. I think the law has now been changed to allow them.

If zombies are already dead, will they survive it?

Yes, and I'm top of the lst.

If it does happen someone like Pap will probably claim that it was all faked.

I've been looking for those for ages! That shot comes from a video, any idea where that is? I don't know what words to put in the search engine.

Ok, so is it time for the next?

No, this one's a copy and hangs in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. My version was much better and the bint's stomach was a bit flatter. I had to swap it for a roll of toilet paper when I got desperate so I don't know where it is now. Tokyo, thanks for the tribute but please feel free to find another anytime you fancy...

The trajectories were designed to avoid the densest parts of the belts, or rather to negotiate the weaker parts. I don't consider the photos to be pristine, just very good. I would say that the evidence we have, the photos themselves, neither prove nor disparove whether the particle radiation would have degraded them enough to be significant. Do you accept that they could have gone there and back without being degraded?

Very decent of you. As far as I know with my limited experience of these matters the only cameras that flash are the Gatso and I did not think that there were any mobile versions of those. It would have been a double flash, surely?

It will only be a simulated apocalypse.

Good, now you are realising what really matters.

Once again, you are confusing speed with driving safely. Please note that I said 'speed' and not 'driving too fast'. A safe driver will be concentrating on the road and all that is going on about him. He adjusts his speed to suit the ambient conditions and perceived dangers. He is not staring at his speedometer.

But do they actually make the world a safer place?

Not at all. You are confusing 'driving at a lower speed' with 'driving more safely'. 'Avoiding punishment' for what exactly? One moment you talk about obeying laws, the next you are in favour of false evidence.
