Astrophysics and cheese.

According to NASA the sun produces 3.8 x 10^33 ergs/sec or roughly 3.8 x 10^26 joules/sec. Over the course of a year that adds up to approximately 6.065 x 10^37 joules of energy.

One dietary calorie or “kilocalorie” equals about 4180 joules. Doing the math we conclude it will take 1.7 x 10^20 years for our sun to generate the same amount of energy as a cubic light year of cheese.

My brain hurts just thinking about the concept of cheese in light years. That's like...like parsecs as a measure of time!

The Kessel Run was a long time ago; just let it go...

And, in the hopes that it will make cheese-related things better: here, have a video of what happens when you use Skyrim to roll 2,500 wheels of cheese down a hill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCrhDamN82k&feature=player_embedded). I'd like to think that Russell T. Davies is smiling about this.

The Davies With Cheese photo still haunts my dreams in a purely awesome way.

As for the Kessel Run, I'll let it go just as soon as HAN GETS TO SHOOT FIRST, GODDAMN IT.

I'm with you, brother (http://coyotegoth.livejournal.com/242496.html). (In my heart, I like to imagine Chewie mentally facepalming as Han mentions the Kessel run, and thinking to himself about how Correllians can't hold their liquor nearly as well as they think they can.)

The Davies photo has the purity of a zen koan; I find endless meditative bliss within its depths.

This is the coolest thing I've read all day. Thank you.
