    isn't it interesting how people just assume all the planets in our solar system orbit Sol in a flat trajectory and thus Sol's 'north pole' is reciprocal to ours.

    it's not that way at all with no alignment in any planets orbits and the elapsed times for orbits varying with each planet due to the universe still expanding

    this is why we will never see an alignment of all the planets.

    From 2006 to 2011, Hewlett-Packard spent $51 billion on share repurchases at an average price of $40.80 per share. Shares currently trade at 12.80 ($USD)

    Wonder how much the directors got paid for that?

    As Jo B P would say, "Don't you worry about that".

    Directors would have done quite nicely regardless of the outcome, Diver, the scamming/scheming bastards always do.

    I see on the news that 430 people have died of the flu so far, and it's far from over.

    Yes, likely to be either the worst or second worst flu season in modern times. For no obvious reason.

    That is not a very stiff penalty Diver. Not even a $ a day but I bet they got their moneys worth out of the poor sod stitching up mailbags or breaking stones or whatever else they do in Prisons these days. OOPS, no not that..


    Oh hang on, I see what you mean.

    Reminds me of the bloke who got transported to Australia for stealing a loaf of bread because he was starving.
