I took a lass to the Planitarium for a first date.
She fell asleep. Meh.

*cough* Greek names yes, in Latin form. Actually.

( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Wed 19 May 2010, 9:46, Reply)

Well
Roman mithology is copied from the Greek, did you know?

I got your sarcasm, dear
I thought you'd find the website interesting, that's why I posted the link.

Thanks.

I've been reading it and lost the thread here now.

Not entirely.
There are aspects of Roman religion that are entirely Roman (or Italian, if you're being pedantic) in origin.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 19 May 2010, 9:51, Reply)

Yes, but the basis are Greek
And so, most of the constellations can be tracked back to Greek mithology, which is fantastic.

Those Gods did know how to rule the world, eh?

Again whilst we're (I'm) being pedantic
I think Arab astronomers got there first.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 19 May 2010, 9:57, Reply)

Which Ptolemy greatly appreciated and built on.

( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Wed 19 May 2010, 9:59, Reply)

I don't think so
Arabs might have named the constellations first, and the Greeks based his naming on that. The whole thing about adding mithology on the names and the beautiful stories where Greek.

My apologies.
I had not realised you had conflated Mythology and Astronomy.
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Wed 19 May 2010, 10:03, Reply)

Mmmm...
That's what I was saying from the start (I see my spelling mistake now as well)

It's ok, I forgive you.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 19 May 2010, 10:05, Reply)

Leave it Monty.
Also, please remember fair Aberracion is a forrin so picking up spelling and grammar is not fair and beneath you.

What did I write wrong?
I'd like to know, so I don't do it again. Althoug I've been told thousands of times how to write phylosopy or philosophy or phylosophi or... I never know.

Mithology.

That too probably.

( girlinthehole, Wed 19 May 2010, 10:18, Reply)

Oh well, since you ask -
Yes, but the basis are is Greek:subject/verb agreement.
Where Greek - were Greek.
That's what I was saying from the start (I see my spelling mistake now as well): full stop required before first bracket, and also before the closing bracket. Or alternately one full stop after the closing bracket.
Not intended to be an inclusive list.

Don't dis the planetarium
They're great.

We had just had a ferocious game of squash before going to the Planitarium.
And it was very relaxing - the seats reclined, Pink Floyd, the lights dimmed. I should have just shagged her stealthily and left.

then whispered 'Awooga' in her ear, and patted her on the fanny.

I agree with my learned colleagues
the planetarium is the fucking shiznit.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 19 May 2010, 9:48, Reply)

I thought so.
It was one of those places you walk past for years and assume it's just for tourists, so never go to. Every city has places the inhabitants overlook.
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Wed 19 May 2010, 9:51, Reply)

which one was it?
greenwich?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 19 May 2010, 9:54, Reply)

No - but that deaf chappy does a very good show too.
It was the Baker St. Madame Tussaud's place.
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Wed 19 May 2010, 10:38, Reply)

to be honest I think I would find the planetarium interesting
I just don't think it's first date material.

And it's such a stereotypical geeky first date.
