Obscurity In A Box, or Ramblings of SWS.

Hello, frauleins!
First off, I am very excited to be a part of this forum, I hope to make some new friends and make even more corny science puns along the way!

Woot! So, yeah, a little history of my internet browsings is in order. I come in peace from the SomethingAwful forums (not an evil goon), where the members number a little more than 130,000, so it's refreshing to be in a smaller pond. And before that I was a member of the Crystal Wolf Hunters Clan on Deer Hunter 2005 and did a bit of RP here and there and everywhere, so I'm hoping to get back into that.

I write a lot of stuff. Poetry, original pieces, fanfiction, you name it. So yeah, if you ever need help with a summary or backstory or even some editing help, don't hesitate to send me a PM/email, I'll be more than happy to help!

Welcome SWS, We are glad to have you here also.

Welcome to Packhome.

You are welcome to write anything you like. I ask that anything too adult stay in the forum for that though.
Other than that, plz feel free...

I reserve the RP forums for gaming only though.

they are in the Game Room Category.

thanks and welcome.

SWS,
Welcome to Pack Home. I hope you'll find this a place of peace, good times & great friends. I look forward to reading your work. Feel free to make yourself at home here.


Peace & (((hugs)))
Cori

Thank you, everyone!

Welcome SWS!
I hope you enjoy your time here.

Something to totally blow the collective mind of everyone!

I found this on another forum and decided it would be a cool thing to post here. It has to do with stars and putting into perspective the largest star in the universe. (The music actually syncs up pretty well.)

{EDIT: I suggest watching it in High Quality, the images are much sharper. Some pausing may be required to get the full effect.}

I feel really small and insignificant now.
I am gonna go over to a corner and just wither away now,

Great post sws, thanks for sharing that. I love science. It is the staple for Science Fiction.

Oh, when I saw it, cue the major -run in a corner and hide- urge. It just reassures me that no matter how monstrous our problems may seem, we're still infinitely small.

But sheisse, can you imagine how bright VY Canis Majoris is? (Sidenote: I love Latin. )

Yes, but why do we hurt so much if our problems are so small?

I agree with Redd it's a great post.

Very, very good point.
