Order! ORDER I SAY! Any more irrational outbursts and I will send the whole Court of Flare through an Einstein-Rosen bridge! HAH! See how you like it in a parallel universe, eh? I ALREADY held Mr. Anomaly in contempt of court, but it seems he somehow managed to sneak back inside. Bailiff!! Remove this nebulaic entity from the court!

As stated, the, *ahem*, actions of Mr. Omega are of no interest to this court. I call hearsay and immaterial testimony for several previous posts. *bang-bang* Now in the interests of expediancy, would someone PLEASE enter new evidence or witness into the record so I many make a ruling?

Well we have to find the picture in question first, o impatient one.
I found some tellus-piccies from some university and some .gov-site, but they weren't very nice. Those idiots always post pictures that look great in a thumbnail, only to be discovered that they are 400x300 pixels big.
Can't those idiots think about what quality they would like to find pictures in, when searching???

I say at least 800x600, and that's small nowadays. I found a twinkie-picture of the C-5 Galaxy freighter plane, I had to shrink it down to 1600x1050. Now that's a picture!

Through an amazing coincedence, I have stumbled on that link as well. Ergo, this case is dismissed. We are ajourned.

Oh, and Einstein-Rosen bridgetheory deals with wormholes as I recall, not parallel universes.

My friends told me not to buy any equipment from the penguins, "they'll shaft ya every time" they said... *sigh*

Actually it's not too bad. Hmm, haven't seen this before. . .

Well, that certainly is quite something to look at. *ahem* Court is adjourned! Thank you sentient entities, for your patience in this matter.

By the way, Einstein-Rosen bridges are, in effect, wormholes. But wormholes can connect to parallel universes as well as places within our own. So there. Ha! :-)

I like the way South Korea is totally covered in lights, then they just abruptly end at the border...

The Falklands, eh?

Good man, Lee. I was aware of the size, but I simply couldn't be bothered going back and converting it, and I didn't know how to delete it.

I was thinking of doing something like that, but I wasn't too sure of the relative locations of Swindon and Bristol. Besides, I thought Monty was in Scotland?

Come on, now, everyone - show us where you are!

I tried uploading a picture as a .jpg, but it's still a phenomenal size.

Would someone
a) please delete the offending image, and
b) tell me how in the fuck a bbitmap can be saved as a jpeg!? I thought it wouldn't be hard!
