Meanwhile, over at Buckingham Palace...

A cabbie picks up a Nun. The cab driver stares at her. She asks him why he’s staring and he says “I’ve always had a fantasy to kiss a nun.” She says “I’ll kiss you if you’re single and Catholic.” The cab driver says “I’m both!” The nun says “Pull into an alley” The nun then kisses him in a way that would make a hooker blush. Back in the cab, though, the driver starts crying. “I lied. I’m married and Jewish.” The nun says “That’s OK. My name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween party”
 
GENESIS*??

In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a healthy young wife by the name of Dorothy (Dot for short). Dot Com was a comely woman, large of breast, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.

And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou cans't trade without ever leaving thy tent?"

And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, dear?"

And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns & drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale & they will reply telling you who hath the best price.The sale can be made on the drums & delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."

Abraham thought long & decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out & were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent.

To prevent neighbouring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew.. It was known as Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), & she also developed a language to transmit ideas & pictures - Hebrew to The People (HTTP).

And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly took to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS.

And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum maker in the land. Indeed he did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.

And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others." And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to be known. He said, "We need a name that reflects what we are."

And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators."

"YAHOO," said Abraham. And because it was Dot's idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.

Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things around the countryside.

It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE).

That is how it all began.And that's the truth. I would not make up this stuff.?
 
Well as the European space station notifications where well received on this thread, I thought I would let those that don't know that 27th April is the second Super Moon of this quarter, the moon will appear 14% larger in our view due to the orbit around us being at its Perigee, some 360,000km from us instead of its Apogee of 406,000km, its called the Super Pink Moon, the Super Moon on the 26th May is called the Super Flower Moon.
