Not according to Alexa... it says it's currently at Rank 47,356! It also says the traffic is going down! Oh dear whats happending?

ATTM

What? I'm not ATTM.... Say what ever happend to him on SP... I searched him, and could not find him.... did he change his name?

Aye. He's Truchas now. Not that it really matters, because he's still the vitriolic piece of c**t he was before he changed his name...

And I wasn't saying you were ATTM, I'm just mentioning that the drop coincides with the elves nuking all his avatars on SP leading to a massive decrease in rank afterwards, because half of the PnP fights were stopped. Also, the elections are over, so traffic in PnP has decreased at least 50% because of that.

How to get paid overtime by not doing any extra hours. It's down to Relativity.

In Earth orbit, your clock slows down. Whereas on a Moon trip (away from Earth's gravitation) time speeds up.

According to Time.com (moreover, Einstein):
When Borman and Lovell were crewmates on the two-week orbital mission of Gemini 7, the time dilation effect was dominant for the entire period; the two astronauts thus aged less than those on earth by approximately 400 microseconds. Lovell's time also slowed down by about 100 microseconds during the four-day flight of Gemini 12.

Thus, during all their missions in space, Lovell and Borman respectively spent 200 and 100 microseconds less time than was recorded on earth—which means that they were paid for more time than they actually worked.

Humankind - Homo sapiens, are said to have evolved from Homo erectus. Well, I just don't get that (there's a twist if you can work it out)

"Underpaid? Maybe its time to underwork." (one of the quotes that display on summit post)

Before lightening strikes, you ought to check the ground around you. Strikes involve what's called a Positive Streamer (a spike originating from the ground), which intersects with the Stepped Leader from the cloud above.

Wikipedia
"A positive streamer is the bit of a lightning bolt that rises from the ground before the lightning strikes, often determining the path of the cloud-to-ground lightning".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_streamer

These may be visible like a large candle flame on the ground, and lasting for some time. Thus giving you time to get out the way.

Dark Side of the Moon. The only reality in that is - Pink Floyd's Album.

Because the Moon itself has no "Dark Side". It is only an apparent dark side as what we see from Earth is "Tidally Locked". Whereas, in fact, the Moon rotates. We do not see it because its axial rotation is matched by its orbit around us.

A slight disturbance can be seen by "Libration".
