Wow - don't know why this one didn't get more comments than it did... some great links, and a well put-together fpp... perhaps not enough snarking? Too many links? Not enough Pepsi blue? No newsfilter link?

I missed this when it was posted on Monday, and only found it because I was searching in preparation for posting it myself. Great site. Here is my new wallpaper. posted by ND¢ at 10:50 AM on June 14, 2006
Sometimes the best posts get the least comments for the simple reason that iterations of "Awesome!" can get tiresome to write and read, perhaps?
That said: Awesome. Great post. posted by jokeefe at 9:46 AM on June 16, 2006
How can that thing not be about to explode? posted by jamjam at 2:36 PM on June 16, 2006
There's no point in worrying about global warming because it's going to happen anyway!
At point D, approximately one and a half billion years later, the surface of the Sun will be 3.3 times the size it is now and have a temperature of about 4300 degrees. The temperature on Earth will increase by 100 degrees, causing all the seas to evaporate and destroying life on Earth as we know it. Within another 250 million years, the Sun will grow 100 times larger than it is now and 500 times more luminous.
I found me a new desktop!
