Why is it that all the shiny things get names but the big, black areas of empty nothingness do not? It’s about time that they got names as well, so say hello to the Pit of Despond (the area between Orion’s bottom and Canis Major’s nose), The Aviary (where Aquila and Cygnus spend the night) and Ambridge
(where Sagittarius & his
mates go to practise).

8^) [PeterSealy] You're such a hypocrite: |
|
| |
"Swanwick takes a fascinating mix of NANOTECHNOLOGY, MAGIC, the vagaries of human nature..." (emphasis mine) |

And the region around Uranus would be.................? (Well, it had to be said.) |
|
| |
Hell, I'll vote for it ... despite the fact that it has absolutely nothing to do with specialty clothing retailers that sell jeans to Jennifer Lopez and Brad Pitt. |

Peter's right, everybody. La Brea is a star-free zone. |

Fits some of my moods: "Armpit of the Universe"; "Take your 'point of the big bang' and stick it where the sun don't shine."; "That sky looks like Hell scabbed over."; Schroachdinger Holetel; space warps in, but don't warp out. Croissy, black and crusty. |

Xanadu ... that great space between Pussygalore ear1 and Pussygalore ear2 :) (I'm kidding, I'm a kidder) :) |

Can you name something that's esentially an absence? |
|
| |
Dark. An absence of light. Room. An absence of bricks. Didn't [FJ] do an idea about writing using the spaces between letters? |
|
| |
What do you call an absence of Mark Flynn? |
|
| |
I dunno. But an absence of credibility is called a 'politician'. |
|
| |
Can there be an absence of absent objects? |
