undisputed 1,664 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I am building this garden summerhouse/ pavilion/shed at the bottom of the garden at the moment and I have to put 60 .. yes that a six with a zero stuck to the right hand side of it little glass panes in the windows and doors. So that's the said bits of glass held by four strips of wood each and them held by two steel pins each. It a boring task and I wonder if I should finish it as its going to take some time. Is it in fact worth finishing because if we aren't wiped out by global warming or when the sun 'dies' we will get caught by 'death by wobbling'. Apparently the moon is moving away from us at 2cm per year. At some point in the future it's grvitational effect will cease to be sufficient to maintain the earth's rotation as it currently is (slightly tilted / essential to maintain the seasons). The earth's rotational axis will then wobble by up to 90 degrees and weather patterns will be well and truly screwed. On the bright side I suppose we don't have to move our towels up and down the beach as there won't be any tides. So what do you think, should I carry on putting them glass bits in that shed or is it not worth bothering about? ATB Michael it takes around 8mins for the sun's rays to reach Earth, so if the sun does die on us you can enjoy your last 8 mins lookin at something you worked hard on to achieve then realise that in less than 8mins ther'l be no warmth and we'll all die and then you'll think what a f****n waste of time and energy and you'll be so pissed off you'll smash it yourself but when it is done you can sit in there and smile at your hard work But I wouldn't know, until the eight minutes were up and over, would I ? But until that day eat, dance and be merry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
