Could've gone either way that, asshattery pending. Nice that it was a reasonable judge.

Though i'm thinking these days the od way of thinking is pretty much dead, what with games/these things winning cases/studies over oldiefarty people.

Not really true with huskies because their coats reflect heat. I know someone in the foothills of the mountains down here with 2 massive great Alaskan Malamutes and they're fine in summer. Something like a Newfoundland or a Bernese Mountain Dog suffers much more in the heat.

Boo :-(

When we finally get a house sorted we were going to get a dog as well, and a newfie was top of the list. Guess they aren't too happy in the UK then?

I'd love a dog but where we live and the lifestyle we have it just ain't fair.

A collie to take out on my MTB jaunts would be awesome but it'd be penned in all day and they hate that and our ability to give it enough exercise mid-week is limited as we're out of the house early and not back until late.

You have to be shit-hot on what type of dog to buy depending on where you live and what you want to do with it - you get the wrong one for your lifestyle and it'll be an unhappy mutt :(

You can disable it on particular sites that have caveats like that, a couple of adds before a show if you cba to grab the torrent etc but it is great for stopping the dirge of ads that plague other websites.

The London.Ripley believe it or not has a list of common misconceptions..including
Mars isn't red, it's the rusting iron that makes it red.
The Earth revolves around the Sun...no everything revolves around the galactic core.

Hmmmmm

Technically that last one isn't a misconception. The Earth does revolve around the Sun. The entire Solar System also revolves around the Galactic Core.

Kinda the point of Job's post dude.

See I would read what he typed as Ripley's having a list of commonly held misconceptions and debunking them. Therefore the misconception implied is that the Earth Rovolves around the Sun.

Actually I went and looked up the actual Ripley quote, and of course Job got it wrong: "The Earth revolves around the Sun: The Earth, Sun and all the planets are orbiting around the centre of mass of the solar system" No mention of the galactic core. I actually seem to remember this subject being discussed on here at one point.

He got the Mars one right, which is more a question of "so what Ripley? Mars is still red, just like Earth is blue because of the water reflection"

No that was some pedant trying to argue that the earth doesn't revolve around the sun by saying it revolves around a little off centre of the sun. (and therefore, still revolves around the sun)

It revolves around the gravitational centre of the solar system in what is called a barycentric orbit.

The sun just happens to be very near to those coordinates. But don't trust me - ask our resident CERN physicist...

I actually meant to right solar system centre but galactic core creeped into my head and I ended up writing it.

I'm not just some pedant and i was right, even said myself it was a pedantic/techncial statement :p

What Scouse said otherwise, sun just happens to be at that center.

mmm. and water is wet.

You have to find something to disagree with in everything don't you? Even when there is nothing to disagree with :)

Not at all @Raven old bean - I just like to be correct.

If we were in a binary star system (which make up a massive proportion of solar systems in the universe) then there would be no argument - the suns would orbit the barycentre whilst not coming anywhere near it.

We don't "orbit the sun".
