Dear Kerivan,
First of all I would like to thank you for your kind words, second:
Regarding to your question sent one July 19 to my lovely DA account on… DA…
…
Okay, anyway, and which goes something like this:
Do you know why all numbers are afraid of seven?
And to which I shall respond like this:
Simple.
That’s, in fact, taught in elementary school.
First grade, to be exact.
Anyway, 7 is, now, and forever will remain and be a carnivorous and voracious eater.
A kin-slayer…
A sinner of sinners...!
A damned amongst the damned!!
A… well, you get the idea.
So, yep.
See, 7 8 9.
That’s all there is to it.
To think that there is more is a rational and unequivocal idea.
However, not to be so in this case.
Why is it that amongst the damned fell precisely the one considered amongst the luckiest to be destined forever to hold a reputation perhaps unwanted, merely so undesired, by that whom is to be forever damned?
…
*shrugs*
To this day, I still don’t understand philosophy.
Anyway, to spice this up a bit, I think I should probably start saying Seven nonsense.
There are 7 deadly sins.
7 Sorrows of Virgin Mary.
7 fires of hell.
7 doors of hell.
7 mentioned suicides.
7 terraces of Mount Purgatory.
And, so it seems, 7 last words!

So dear anonymous friend,
Regarding to your very interesting question sent one curious day (Jul 19, 2009), turned even more curious, which goes:
I heard that in the southern hemisphere it is winter, how is that possible?
And to which I shall respond:
Well, that is actually something I’ve always wondered but never gave myself the time to investigate.
So… you see, Earth’s all split up in two.
But, then again, you already knew that.
What splits it up is an imaginary line,
Which we will lovingly call axis.
Anyway, so, this axis points out to the same, far, far away place.
That means, no matter the position of Earth in respect to the sun, the axis tip will always point out to the same… point.
So yep, this has a particular effect on the seasons.
From December to March, the axis points away from the sun.
From June to September, it points, more or less, to the direction of the sun.
So this means that, basically, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, sun rays strike the Southern Hemisphere directly. Summer happens.
Likewise, when it is summer up here, Northern Hemisphere, sun rays do not strike the Southern Hemisphere directly, thus winter happens.
Easy, easy.
So yep, watcha think, mates?
Thanks for the question!
Have fun!

Dear necro-loup,
Regarding to your question sent one random day (otherwise classified to as Jul 22, 2009), which goes something like this:
Life, it exists outside our world?
I have to say one thing:
Haven’t you heard of all those videos of floating, shiny stuff (in the sky) that seems to be caught every once in a year on the news?
If not… well, you need less a social life, mate.
Anyway, according to my sources, NASA, in order to search for life in space, uses a Nugget.
…
...Gotta be hard for chickens to fly that way…
Anyway, this Nugget is supposed to scratch the surface of other planets and see if there’s living stuff within.
And if so, promptly store it in their “stomachs”.
Yep.
On another topic, supposedly one of Jupiter’s moons, Europa, is all covered with cracked ice.
Under that cracked ice there’s water.
At least in theory.
Anyway, if there’s some water under that ice, then there could be some simple life-forms.
Like chutkats and so, ya know?
So, thought goes that while it’s not likely that the sun’s heat can pass through the ice, the pull Europa receives from Jupiter and other surrounding satellites actually heats up its center, which enables it to support life.
So it is said.
To be honest, though, I think that the best prime example of life outside the Earth is in fact
The Sun.
Really, something that holds up so much life’s gotta have a life of its own, ya know?
At least, I’d like to think so.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your question!
See ya!
Take care!
Greki
