Madam Medusa

Sad to see the decline and fall of Maradona (although he looked in better shape in that testimonial match that was shown on the news last week).

Still the best player of all time though.........

BangleMan

A dirty cheating ***er, thats what he is !

BangleMan

Would be the fallen Maradona with the big boobies ....lol

The Dean

True - and still the greatest player of all time.

England have been using the 'Hand of God' excuse for not winning the 1986 WC ever since - mainly to cover up the fact that they weren't actually very good and wouldn't have won it anyway.......

Mind you, we had Terry Fenwick, Gary Stevens, Peter Reid and Steve Hodge - so we really OUGHT to have won it that year, with all that talent........

BangleMan

Dont agree he was the best player of all time, sorry

MataHari

must be this one...

Surely, it has to be this one of our lonely, little blue planet amongst the cosmos.

And your nomination would be.....?

Cool, I woulda gone for that as one of the most memorable photos...

First photo of big blue from space was taken in '68, what a moment for mankind.

Another immortal photo, same year - the diametric opposite:

far too many to choose from but here are a few

Picture of an asteroid taken by a Japanese space probe.......... pretty dramatic. It's 500 metres in length, so the probe must have got up close and personal.........


Explanation: Why are parts of this asteroid's surface so smooth? No one is yet sure, but it may have to do with the dynamics of an asteroid that is a loose pile of rubble rather than a solid rock. The unusual asteroid has been visited recently by the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa that has been documenting its unusual structure and mysterious lack of craters. Recent analyses of the border regions between smooth and rugged sections of Itokawa indicate that jostling of the asteroid might be creating segregation between large and small rocks near the surface, like the Brazil nut effect. In late 2005, Hayabusa actually touched down on one of the smooth patches, dubbed the MUSES Sea, and collected soil samples that are to be returned to Earth for analysis. Hayabusa will start its three-year long return trip to Earth this month. Computer simulations show that 500-meter asteroid Itokawa may impact the Earth within the next few million years.

If you tried to print that in Boots in the UK, you'd be arrested for child abuse...lol
