I'm in study hall now (actually at the library where all the computers are). I was talking to GN during Physics (1st per.) and we were going to figure out a way to chat to each other. Of course, GN has a Cbox. Anyways, I hope LB likes the song. Also, I was going to figure out the last time the Reds had a winning streak of at least 24 hours.

DID YOU KNOW...
...that stereotypes of animals are common in television and film and usually emphasise particular traits of the species?

TODAY IN HISTORY
1792 - French Revolution: The National Convention voted to abolish the monarchy, and the First Republic was proclaimed.
1823 - According to Joseph Smith, Jr., the angel Moroni appeared to him and revealed the location of the hidden Golden Plates, which contained the ancient sacred texts of the Book of Mormon.
1898 - The Hundred Days' Reform in China was abruptly terminated when Empress Dowager Cixi forced the reform-minded Guangxu Emperor into seclusion and took over the government as regent.
1937 - J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, a predecessor to The Lord of the Rings, was first published.
1942 - The prototype model of the B-29 Superfortress flew for the first time.

PICTURE OF THE DAY

The launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on STS-98, February 7, 2001, at sunset. The sun is behind the camera, and the shape of the plume is cast across the vault of the sky, intersecting the rising full moon. The top portion of the plume is bright because it is illuminated directly by the sun; the lower portions are in the Earth's shadow. After launch, the shuttle must engage in a pitch and roll program so that the vehicle is below the external tank and SRBs, as evidenced in the plume trail. The vehicle climbs in a progressively flattening arc, because achieving low orbit requires much more horizontal than vertical acceleration.
