Maniac! 09.14.10	I rec that you go to the library. Always stuff in there. Usually for reading.
BeardedIdiot 09.14.10	2 late 4 that
BeardedIdiot 09.14.10	Yeah, but since I don't know what authors/works I should check out it's not doing any good for me. And my university has a pretty shitty library.
Inveigh 09.14.10	two doors locked and windows barred, one door left to take you in and the other one just mirrors it... HEY! HEY!
Maniac! 09.14.10	uhm uhm uhm STEVEN HAWKING
BeardedIdiot 09.14.10	.. and Carl Sagan? what do you think I am, a complete idiot? looks at his user name goddammit!
Winsomniac 09.14.10	This is upsetting. My Astro. 1 class was more physics than anything else. But if you want something very intriguing, check out anything you can find on String Theory.
BeardedIdiot 09.14.10	Thankfully, in my university astronomy falls under "courses you don't have to take, but it's good for the common education" category. That means that it goes only about very basic things. no physical equations, calculations, etc. And I'm NOT good at physics, at all
Sheeple9000 09.14.10	Write about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo
AnotherBrick 09.14.10	Ill send you some cool links when i get back to my apt. Which is like ten minutes.
AnotherBrick 09.14.10	http://thefutureofourworld.ytmnd.com/ this puts a good perspective of life and death of a star in relationship to the sun and earth. http://science.nasa.gov/ for just general information http://www.rense.com/general72/size.htm cool pictures about the size of stars (yes i know this isn't life and death of a star but it's fucking cool) http://tvshack.cc/tv/The_Universe/ pretty much the greatest tv show ever, will give you all the information you need, just pick an episode about stars and you'll be good to go.
BeardedIdiot 09.14.10	@Sheeple: that looks very interesting, I will definitely consider this topic @Brick: thanks for the links, much appreciated

AnotherBrick 09.14.10	although i'd probably pick a cooler topic if it was me, sounds like your astro class is sweet
Athom 09.14.10	the universe is an ok show to get ideas from, but they can be rather shallow and half assed about explaining things.
BeardedIdiot 09.14.10	keyword is SOUNDS. What's the most annoying thing that we must include references to at least five sources in the paper, three of them must be written (articles, books, etc.)
AnotherBrick 09.14.10	well ya, but once something on it sparks your interest, then googling around + wikipedia clears everything up
BeardedIdiot 09.14.10	yeah, it's true
Winsomniac 09.14.10	The Universe is fucking GREAT. Love that shit!
Sheeple9000 09.14.10	Also remember to make fun of creationists in your paper. Repeated attacks and satirical humor will get you a higher mark!
Winsomniac 09.14.10	I don't know about making fun of them, but pointing out the implausibility of the universe being created in 7 days is certainly a sign of intelligence.
AnotherBrick 09.14.10	Sheeple gets the most retarded comment of the day award
AnotherBrick 09.14.10	and somniac get 2nd
RippingCorpse 09.14.10	life cycle of stars is easy stuff and theres that diagram thing too cant remember the name cos im not doin physics anymore oh yeah breathe

GnarlyShillelagh 09.14.10	Read the third Harry Potter. You learn a lot from that, like the lunar calendar and how to turn into a werewolf and shit
