Great movie! Check this one out - it was emailed to me some time ago, and I don't know the source - Warning: 599KB.

I like astronomy because one can measure ones insignificance against such scales and realise your great importance is only internal.
Thanks for taking the time to share the link.

Similar to a link someone sent last year with pictures of many of the same things, but I think the video makes it more impressive. It's a pity they spelt some of the star names wrong...

No worries as Willie Nelson sings it..."all of me, take all of me"... just wait until all signs of life are gone .

Thinking of liver I thought of "Wiscass" knowing you like cats and art (I believe) you can have a drawing which has unfortunatley suffered a little from carrying it up and down the coast . Might get your mind off my liver Hope you like it

Thankyou very much for the drawing. It is one you did? Very nice indeed.

The "Live Liver Donation" sketch is one of my favorites from Monty Python, not just because it has the "Galaxy Song" song in it.

Yes I did the drawing thank you for saying it is nice. Been turning them out and paintings. Lost all my work in the fire years ago and only just started building a selection again.. up to 57 different items now, 4 unfinished paintings in that... Like drawing portraits most of all but do many styles.
Like creative stuff did a little movie with guitar work the other day I enjoyed that. Love all Monty P.
