matrix3 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Re: "Neat" Pictures Where is this place?! I must know! I don't know, but probably not in the U.S. Too big a chance a visitor could pinch a hand between the knot on the rope and the little porthole the rope runs through. No zoo around here would accept that sort of liability... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with an employee there to tell people not to grab the rope between the knot and the metal porthole, I still doubt US zoos would go for it.

The clown dice are a new offering by GameScience, but I don't see anything about them on their website. I imagine that they'll be available for purchase soon.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Re: "Neat" Pictures Artist's conception of a terraformed Mars. This portrayal is approximately centered on the prime meridian, 30 degrees north latitude. The hypothesized oceans are depicted with sea level at approximately two kilometers below average surface elevation. The ocean submerges what are now Vastitas Borealis, Acidalia Planitia, Chryse Planitia, and Xanthe Terra; the visible landmasses are Tempe Terra at left, Aonia Terra at bottom, Terra Meridiani at lower right, and Arabia Terra at upper right. Rivers that feed the ocean at lower right occupy what are now Valles Marineris and Ares Vallis, while the large lake at lower right occupies what is now Aram Chaos. http://marsartists.blogspot.com/2012/08/daein-ballard-terraformed-mars-with.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
