Haul loose the mooring line

I know I'm a little behind in the news, but I found this picture of physicist Stephen Hawking preparing for his space flight, and decided I needed to put it here.

"To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit"

You can read more about Dr. Hawking's space flight and his writing & theories. He also has a web page, apparently maintained by one of his Graduate Assistants. I wonder...what else his GA's do for him...?

My son is watching some pointless drivel on the Disney channel, and a girl doing an interview with Johhny Depp about the new POTC movie (and yes - I did just abbreviate it like that) just asked him "When you're finished with filming, and you leave the set, do you ever still feel like a pirate?" -- I wasn't paying much attention, but his response wasn't what I wish it had been. In my head it happened like this: "Foolish little wench...I AM a pirate!"...looking around, confused..."Why is the rum gone?"

(For more - and better - Johnny Depp images, go here. And yes, M, there are pictures of Eric Bana for you, too. And don't forget, until you get a better internet connection, I am the Pirate King...savvy?)

I noticed you had the clip for The Landlord on your B-L-O-G, too (I've got it linked in the post before this one) - did we both discover it at the same time, or have we both posted it because it's all over the internet right now (I've seen it three different places this weekend...)??

I haven't seen POTC #2, but I found lines from the movie and thought this one fit the general theme of the post.

Good weekend?
