Oh MY, do I have a big mouth tonight! Here's
another post!
So I was thinking about how goofy living on THIS planet
is.
Then I thought of what it would be like to live
on another world - maybe in pressure suits for
oxygen that you have to pay for every month.
Alien dinosaurs knocking over cars every day, and
making picnic tables out of diamonds. Because there
are lots of diamonds around - they are worthless -
and the factories build lawn furniture out of them.
Because the atmospheric pressure is so great. And when
you exhale the carbon dioxide goes UP. So people bottle
it and sell it for large blimps, and most of the factories
are just people mining diamonds with lasers all day or breathing into
carbon dioxide containers from 9 to 5. Getting paid by the
hour. Super markets with shopping carts made out of wax
paper that has been altered to be 10,000 times stronger than
steel. The steel/wax paper and diamond picnic tables are
exported to the next planet in that solar system. It takes
50 years to get there because the space technology is just
chemical rockets. So the privileged class lives in hotels in
the chemical rockets most of their lives. Except the chemical
rockets have no internal gravity. Relationships between
men and women is difficult in space (it's pretty difficult now here
on Earth) so the human population in the hotels is dwindling
and robots that all look like Barbara Eden (Because the designer
of the robots time traveled back to the 1960s and watched
"I dream of Jeanie.") designed the prototype robot. And it ended
up all of the robots looked like Barbara Eden.
THEN I thought of SOPA and PIPA. So you think we should be
keeping track of that on here?

if sopa and pipa pass you can say bye bye to many sites that have nothing to do with copyright infringement.
Bruce I like your planet with such interesting grocery carts and lawn furniture. Those hotels in the gravity free rockets sound like they would be very bad for honeymoons.
You didn't mention whether your planet has radio, but it must have, because you'd be there, and I also believe you would have dogs.
Barbara Eden looked well worth duplicating and I'll take six.
That SOPA/PIPA legislation was written and promoted by the motion picture and record music industry, who apparently would wipe out internet free speech and creativity simply so they can collect more cash. And the pasty faced politicians were going along with it?
I think the biggest movie month of the year we should refuse to go to the movie, cancel cable tv, resign netflix, purchase no DVDs or CDs and listen only to part 15 radio.
What is your planet's name?
I just almost finished a gigantic story about what
that planet, it's history, and it's
contact with Earth would be like.
I know it isn't Part 15 radio, but it
was probably the best and funniest thing
I ever wrote.
I started writing it at midnight, and now
it's about 4:AM. I kept adding to it and adding
to it, and it got sillier and sillier, but
had a lot of good scientific accuracy to
balance the humor out.
I just leaned somehow on the keyboard, and
deleted the whole thing.
Oh well.

Then, Bruce, maybe you should name your planet
DELETIA
That even has a feminine ring to it.
I wrote up a big piece of it again,
and lost it again. Somehow both
times I leaned against the keyboard
and made it go away.
I'll just say for now that the planet
is called Phringus. It is 430,000
light years from Earth, on the event
horizon of the black hole Wurlitzer.
Normally Phringus never would have been
discovered at all, but some accidents in
nature caused the discovery of certain
subatomic particles. These particles permitted
communication with Phringus.
Phringus orbits the binary star 1965JohnSmithB,
part of a binary yellow star system.
Phringus is three inches in diameter because
of space/time distortion caused by the
event horizon of Wurlitzer. It's moon is
also named Phringus. The moon is the size
of Neptune, but it is not a gas giant. It
has a rocky core. However the space/time
distortion forces the larger moon to orbit
the much smaller planet.
Phringus is the first planet in a solar system
of 34 planets. It's main export is blimps with
big lights on them, for communication - and
picnic tables. All 34 planets in the system
are populated. Inhabitants of the second planet
can see the blimps of planet one through telescopes.
Inhabitants of planet one rent light/text time
on the blimps to communicate with each other.
But renting time is very expensive, about 2 Krunks
an hour.
Life on planet 15 is difficult, because of it's
flat eliptical (sp?) orbit around 1965JohnSmithB.
The population there, of course, has it's own
name for the star, which is Braffff. Braffff,
loosely translated means, "I can't believe the
ice cream melted again!" Planet 15 enjoys
abundant solar power, with solar panels being
it's main industry. However, when planet 15
gets very close to the star, all structures burn
down and have to be rebuilt. Fortunately, the
inhabitants of planet 15 hide under their diamond
picnic tables when the planet is too close the
it's sun.
I guess that's probably too much for now.

I notice my story's Part 1 and Part 2
don't tie together quiet right.
Maybe that's enough of that.
Seriously, though. I don't think PIPA and
SOPA are going to make it through this
round. However, we should keep an eye
on them.
My story was meant to be ridiculous, but
with humor. There is no humor in what
is happening with PIPA and SOPA, despite
any good intentions that may exist.
Bruce, DOGRADIO STUDIO 2
we don't need anymore copyright enforcement laws. what we have in place already is sufficient. they don't need that much control over everything.
Bruce Bruce!
The copyright tribunal intends to copyright Phringus and sue you for making it up!
Things are worse than we think!
Why not call the planet "Sopa Pipa Prime"? 😉
Think I will cook up a batch of sopapias. 😛

I PROMISE - Just a Little. I don't want to bore
you guys.
There were 2 things in the original "story" I wrote
that were loosely based on fact (I think.)
I had mentioned communication with Phringus via
subatomic particles. Apparently scientists have
recently discovered some new subatomic particle.
Somehow 2 of these particles can be separated by any distance
and vibrate the same way. I think it really isn't that
simple, but in my original story that was lost - I
used that idea for communication between Phringus and
Earth. So this idea was based on something I recently
read somewhere that is really happening, I think.
The other thing was based on a late 1950s atomic spacecraft
idea that apparently was taken seriously at the time.
I believe it was called Project Orion. It was a one way
trip to another star with an atomic powered spacecraft.
It was said the craft could achieve one tenth the speed
of light. The atomic drive was so unbelievably crude.
1080 atomic bombs (I specifically remember that number
because it is local WTICs frequency) would be ejected out
the back of the spacecraft and detonated in order. In
other words, one after the other. The spacecraft would
be pushed by the atomic explosions. The spacecraft was
to have a giant pusher plate on the back. This plate
was to be mounted on gigantic spring like shock absorbers,
so the spacecraft would not shake too much!
I used this spacecraft idea in my story, but this idea for
a crude starship has been used by several sci-fi writers in various books and short stories. Using this crude star drive,
it seems possible to get to the Alpha Centauri/Proxima Centauri system in about 40 years. Well, maybe more, I
guess - depending probably on many other factors. This
idea was scrapped, I heard, because of the 1963 Nuclear
Test Ban Treaty. I guess I'll look the whole thing up
again. It was facinating!
Not quite Star Trek, but cool!

I just looked it up. Project Orion was
also thought to be a practical approach
to an atomic spacecraft for "fast" planetary
travel within our solar system. An
unmanned version could achieve 100 gs at
launch. I guess the pusher plate idea on
springs was for a manned version. The propulsion
system was called "Atomic Pulse Drive!"
I was meant to be launched in space in later
versions of the idea.
But early versions were meant to be launched
from the Earth's surface, like a Saturn 5,
for instance! It was thought that the nuclear
fallout from the launch would be acceptable!
Yikes! That's REALLY crazy!

Good news Bruce. The test ban treaty does not apply in outer space as long as you go on the other side of the moon.
But I used my time machine to view the future, and here is the last recording made from your nearly successful space trip in the future year of 2019:
LOUDSPEAKER: ATTENTION ALL HANDS. WE ARE ONE BLAST SHORT OF OUR DESTINATION. FOR THE REST OF TIME WE WILL ORBIT PHRINGUS. WE ARE ALREADY RUNNING LOW ON POTATO CHIPS.
That's OK.
The 33th planet in the system's main
export is potato chips, pretzels, and
internal combustion engine parts (mainly
valve lifters.)
They have technology to get us those chips
fast. The have Variable Wormhole Drive.
The only problem with VWD is that it's hard to
predict what direction the ship will be pointed
when it comes out of the wormhole.
If the ship is pointed the wrong way, they could
fly straight into the sun. Then the potato chips
would be barbecued.

Bruce MICRO Dog Studio Radio 2 is being placed under strict quarantine with a suspected case of the Part 15 Virus.
This virus causes excursions of the imagination so real that Bruce MICRO has actually been handing out potato chips from his diamond lawn furniture and strange storms of BBQ'd chips have been showering from the vicinity of the sun.
Once the virus takes hold there's no hope of getting back to a normal blog entry.
