Survival of the place double-assured with Yazata. Geez, can you imagine that wild "Moon Debate" between Ken and Timmy taking place again in some sub-forum where such a thing could be on-topic? I don't know how they ever managed to carry it over to SciForums _X_ years ago without Ken or somebody getting banned!

Maximum credit should be given to where it's due: Most of us from the old days would probably not know about SciVillage if not for MotorDaddy and cluelusshusband being alert about Stryder's project.

MotorDaddy clued me in to SciVillage but i guess we all been spreadin the word sinse then.!!!
The way i found Sciforums (an some other science forums) years ago was from lookin up info. about moon rotation... an i found that Ken Dine was tryin out diferent Science forums lookin for suport for his non-rotatin moon ideas... an it was then that  i joined Sciforums an posted the link to it in the WebTv forums... an now here we are at SciVillage Smile

I got a email from Raoul (Ralph) a few mounthes ago... an even tho hes close to 90 you'd thank you was talkin to a 45 year old wit a 150 iq... but he does have some issues now that make typin difficult so he mostly uses the internet for readin insted of forum postin.!!!

Wow, talk about a butterfly effect. Never fully realized that the infamous moon debate itself was responsible for engendering the whole chain of circumstances.

I seem to vaguely recollect him saying that members in his family tended to live a long time, but I still like to think of it as a great mind keeping an aging body going. He's unbelievable (in the most positive and complimentary meaning of the word). Did a fine job influencing the intellect of his grandsons. His own life-story from an encounter with an evolution-denouncing preacher sending him down the road to science to WWII and through all those assorted careers would be film-biography worthy.

Yeah longevity runs in his family... Ralfs prolly good for 20+ years (same as me).!!!

In WWII at the tender age of 17(?) he was a radio man an flew in the B-17 Flyin Fortress... an was wounded a couple of times while visitin the front lines while bein a body guard of General Moore.!!!

Heres a wood model he made of a B-17.!!!

Looks like a glitch is developing where the quote attribution misfires with the wrong name. Wink

I remember that Zebra wood table. He mentioned something about it getting so cold in the B-17 that they had to routinely unblock the frozen urine from some apparently primitive aperture used for excreting into or discarding body waste. Denizen or enemy solider down below: "What the heck almost blonked me on the head? A small meteorite?"
