Since the earth is a solid body and the earth is wider at the equator, in order for the entire planet to make one rotation in a twenty four hour period it has to spin faster at the equator than at the poles. At the equator the earth spins at about 1,040 miles per hour. At the poles the rate of spin is about .00005 mph.

[quote=rainroosty;55199128]~ Hello!


~ Where would you look for an 'anhinga'?

In the dictionary first to find out what that is.
~ Where might you find a 'plectrum'?

Ditto.
~ How can you get your kicks?

On another sunset bike ride. It was beautiful out there. The sunset was spectacular and the almost full moon was rising.
~ Roughly or exactly, how long ago did you last have Chinese food?

About 3 days ago and it made me so sick.
~ Have you ever cleaned your own fish?

Many times.
~ What place on planet earth is spinning faster than the other...Key West or Chicago?

Chicago. Everything moves faster in the windy city.
~ What is your opinion of Roman numerals being used in this society today?

They're fun to figure out.
~ I want to kill most clocks. What do you want to kill?

Right now, John
~ Where should we move to together, you and me?

How about the Poconos?

~ What do you think about a good bologna (baloney for Pam) sandwich and what does the one in your mind look like and what does it have on it?

I really don't think I could eat that.
~ How come most people on here don't ever really want to meet for real?
I would love to meet you. Heck, I went all the way to Scotland and met a City Data friend. We had a wonderful time together. I've also met two people in Maine from City Data. There's many more I'd love to meet.

~ I just get it...do you?
Most of the time I do.

~ **** I'm going to go catch a buzz on my porch before the light comes. Ta! **** ~




Okay, now I really want to meet you



Thanks roosty. Off to roller skate.

~ Hello!


~ Where would you look for an 'anhinga'?
no clue without looking it up


~ Where might you find a 'plectrum'?



~ How can you get your kicks?
buy them at the shoe store


~ Roughly or exactly, how long ago did you last have Chinese food?
On Mother's Day


~ Have you ever cleaned your own fish?
I've tried, after all I did grow up on the coast but not for me.


~ What place on planet earth is spinning faster than the other...Key West or Chicago?



~ What is your opinion of Roman numerals being used in this society today?
Meh I don't think we need to keep using them


~ I want to kill most clocks. What do you want to kill?
Those carpenter bees that are taking over both of my wood deck/steps


~ Where should we move to together, you and me?
You can move here if you want, I have no interest in moving right now


~ What do you think about a good bologna (baloney for Pam) sandwich and what does the one in your mind look like and what does it have on it?
Bologna is ok, I don't ever buy it. But if I were to make a bologna sandwich I would put mayo, a tiny bit of mustard, cheese and lettuce on it.


~ How come most people on here don't ever really want to meet for real?
I didn't know that most people didn't want to meet, I wouldn't mind it but for me it's a matter of finances and being able to travel. I imagine it's the same for some of the others.


~ I just get it...do you?
Get what?


~ **** I'm going to go catch a buzz on my porch before the light comes. Ta! **** ~

Thanks Roosty!

~ Hello! Hello, roosty!

~ Where would you look for an 'anhinga'? I don't know. A zoo?

~ Where might you find a 'plectrum'? A music store. It's another word for a guitar pick.

~ How can you get your kicks? By driving on Route 66.

~ Roughly or exactly, how long ago did you last have Chinese food? A few months ago. I was thinking about Chinese food yesterday. Perhaps I'll have some soon.

~ Have you ever cleaned your own fish? Yes. I did when I was a young'un. When I fished with my dad, we always cleaned the fish together afterward.

~ What place on planet earth is spinning faster than the other...Key West or Chicago? Hmm. I'm guessing it's Chicago because Chicago is farther north and therefore its revolution is a shorter distance - and, consequently, faster - than Key West's as the earth turns on its axis. Or is it the opposite of my reasoning?

~ What is your opinion of Roman numerals being used in this society today? Archaic; I see no need for them.

~ I want to kill most clocks. What do you want to kill? Telemarketing companies.

~ Where should we move to together, you and me? Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where we could enjoy the forests and critters and no crowded cities.

~ What do you think about a good bologna (baloney for Pam) sandwich and what does the one in your mind look like and what does it have on it? I think I'd like some slices of thick-cut baloney on whole-grain wheat bread with mayo and Dijon mustard, with one slice of lettuce.

~ How come most people on here don't ever really want to meet for real? Could be many reasons. I started to list them, but the list was getting too long so I deleted it. Everyone's life is different, so most reasons are probably unique to the individuals. There are lots of C-D members I'd like to meet someday, but responsibilities and other priorities get in the way of that.

~ I just get it...do you? Yep.


~ **** I'm going to go catch a buzz on my porch before the light comes. Ta! **** ~ Happy buzz-day. Er, I mean, happy Fryday! Thanks for the Fill-Ins, roosty!

I wouldn't have known except for the photo. In a tree. Think I'll take an umbrella.

another mystery solved by others.


~ How can you get your kicks?

looking for rainbows. or hippos. whichever.

~ Roughly or exactly, how long ago did you last have Chinese food?

few months. Don't know if it's me or the restaurants but it just doesn't taste as good as it did.

~ Have you ever cleaned your own fish?

I don't have any fish but if I did they'd not be cleaned by me.

~ What do you think about a good bologna (baloney for Pam) sandwich and what does the one in your mind look like and what does it have on it?


didn't know there was such a thing as a good bologna sandwich. Maybe if you smother it in onions, cheese, tomato slices, and yellow mustard.....

~ How come most people on here don't ever really want to meet for real?


The illusion is preferable to the reality.

yea but I think it's curable. (couldn't resist

Boy, making us work today. It has been a while since I shaved my legs (Male). When I was previously running much more and using RockTape I did so that I wasn't constantly ripping it off.


~ Where would you look for an 'anhinga'?
Maybe in the south somewhere. I guess it likes warm weather climates.



~ Where might you find a 'plectrum'?
Sounds like a bacteria, but apparently not. But, I won't give it away.

~ How can you get your kicks?
Coaching, running, spending time with family



~ Roughly or exactly, how long ago did you last have Chinese food?
Probably been about a month



~ Have you ever cleaned your own fish?
Yes, and I don't even like to eat it.



~ What place on planet earth is spinning faster than the other...Key West or Chicago?
This seems like a trick question. I wouldn't guess either one, but maybe it has something to do with distance from the equator so I'll go with Chicago.



~ What is your opinion of Roman numerals being used in this society today?
It forces a lot of people to try to learn something new like looking up 'anhinga' so that is good. I learned them a long-time ago so I don't mind.



~ I want to kill most clocks. What do you want to kill?
I'm not sure I can say in a public forum. How about impatient lane switchers on the highway.



~ Where should we move to together, you and me?

Like some elevation. Placerville, CA might be nice.




~ What do you think about a good bologna (baloney for Pam) sandwich and what does the one in your mind look like and what does it have on it?
I'm vegan can't eat it anymore, but my mom use to make them. Just Baloney, mustard, and mayo. My dad also use to fry it.



~ How come most people on here don't ever really want to meet for real?
Easier to be mostly anonymous. And these days, it is a bit scary. You just don't know if the person is good or a serial killer.



~ I just get it...do you?
I don't know. There are a lot of people in this world, that I don't get.



~ **** I'm going to go catch a buzz on my porch before the light comes. Ta! ****


Have a fantastic weekend.
cd :O)

NEVER shaved my legs. Perhaps I am less related to the hominids than others?


~ Hello!

Howdy!!

~ Where would you look for an 'anhinga'?

Google search??

~ Where might you find a 'plectrum'?

Rock music bands? guitarists?

~ How can you get your kicks?

Just by being (still) alive

~ Roughly or exactly, how long ago did you last have Chinese food?

It has been awhile. Chinese food deteriorates every year here and now barely resembles the authentic food experience. Everywhere, everyone serves the same junk.
I would visit a place serving Xiao Long Bao and Siu Mai. They aren't popular here, though. The best I ever had was in Din Tai Fung, Glendale, CA. Heavenly!!
https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyl...nese-dumplings


~ Have you ever cleaned your own fish?

Yes. When I bought it directly from a fisher boat. I also used to buy a live carp for Christmas Eve. It was happily swimming in a container till it was.. consumed. So I had to make it ready and presentable on a platter

~ What place on planet earth is spinning faster than the other...Key West or Chicago?

Key West, although the difference is very small. The Earth spins the slowest at the top and the bottom of the axis - North and South Pole and fastest at the Equator.

~ What is your opinion of Roman numerals being used in this society today?

I learned them in school. I can read the numbers. It belongs to the general knowledge. While everything tends to be digital nowadays, there are places where numbers are Roman and it's good to understand what they mean.
They are still used in almost all cases for the copyright date on films, television programs, and videos. They are also used to show the hours on some analog clocks and watches. Sporting events are often numbered using Roman numerals. Monarchs are usually numbered in Roman.
Adding and subtracting (simple arithmetic) is very easy with Roman numerals.
There are only SEVEN numbers to learn - now, how hard can it be???


~ I want to kill most clocks.

Time passing is inevitable. Killing the clocks don't change the fact.

What do you want to kill?

Growing presence of stupidity.

~ Where should we move to together, you and me?

Somewhere colder. Not sure about you, but I am so sick of the heat. But it will be fun!! You cook - I clean. You play music - I listen... Very harmonious couple, we could be ...

~ What do you think about a good bologna (baloney for Pam) sandwich and what does the one in your mind look like and what does it have on it?

I don't think there is a "good" bologna. It's a mystery meat to me... and while I am very adventurous, otherwise - I am trying not to expose my guts to any food mysteries...

~ How come most people on here don't ever really want to meet for real?

Nowadays lots of people don't know how and are afraid to interact with others in real world. The technology made us socially crippled. We are losing the human connection. Not me, though.

~ I just get it...do you?

I get it too.

~ **** I'm going to go catch a buzz on my porch before the light comes. Ta! **** ~

The only buzz I can catch on my porch is coming from the mosquitos.

Thank you, rainrosty. Go and enjoy your buzz, I rather stay at home. lol

Does a good bologna sandwich even exist? I don't think so. No matter how it is sliced it is still baloney.

~ How come most people on here don't ever really want to meet for real?
For me it is because of my alleged ties to a certain stinky cheese mafia. If animalcrazy ever really found out who I was she would probably try to blackmail me into eating yucky veggies or turn me over to the BSCI (Bureau of Stinky Cheese Investigation) police.

~ I just get it...do you?
Is there a prize if I do?
