[Comment moved here where it's more applicable.] 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.

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.

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.
