Junkyard Pictures
 
does anyone have any decent pictures of a scrapyard / Junkyard.

I need one for a presentation to be given in the new year sometime. This is not a new obsession.

If you have any please can you either e-mail them to me or post them up here

Janette 28-12-2002 04:45 PM

You can't leave it there Sticks!!!!!!

What's the presentation?


And why???????????????

Sticks, much as I'd love to help, junkyards aren't high on my list when it comes to taking photographs!!

Perhaps you will be able to find something suitable on the web.

Good look with the presentation.

Is taking piccies of junkyards a new hobby of yours, ROB?

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Romantic Old Bird 28-12-2002 06:00 PM

No Miriam, I've just gone a bit 'Google'-y!!!:wavey:

Boris 28-12-2002 06:18 PM

Now I know where there is a wonderful 'scrapyard' where you can take your own pics Sticks . Just let me know and I will tell you the address if you are interested. It is not ANYWHERE near the 'frozen north' where you live tho' ! SORRY !:bawling:

Sticks 28-12-2002 07:44 PM

Thanks ROB
When I get home I will reveal why I need these pictures.:thumbs:

As A clue, I also will be using a picture of a Boeing 747

I will be surprised if anyone gets the connection :shocked:

steve_o 29-12-2002 01:34 PM

Blimey, like the way you tell us that after you get the pictures. A pile of scrap and a boeing 747 sound well dodgey to me Sticks. How about something more cheerful during 2003. Your starting to worry me, you are.:conf:

Sticks 29-12-2002 05:48 PM

So you do not know he connection then :laugh:

As a further clue, a tornado is also involved (The weather type not the jet fighter)

So what is the connection between a Junkyard, a Boeing 747 and a tornado :spin:

I don't know, Sticks but I have a feeling you're going to tell us.

:colour:

Janette 29-12-2002 07:25 PM

Ok, I'm going to give it a try even though I'm probably way off track!!!!!


There was a terrible tornado somewhere in America, and a Boeing 747 was caught up by it and blown completely off the radar screens. When Air traffic control finally found the aeroplane it had crashlanded on top of a junkyard and miraculously there were no fatalities!

(Am I close?)

Has your presentation got anything to do with the theory of evolution Sticks? :conf:

:hugesmile:

Sticks 30-12-2002 03:06 AM

Janette Freezing
James Getting warmer:hugesmile:

Boris 30-12-2002 09:04 AM

Are we considering the 'Big Bang'

here at all Sticks?:spin2:

Sticks 30-12-2002 09:45 AM

Just gone chilly :nono::laugh:

Mairi 30-12-2002 12:32 PM

I rather enjoy solving puzzles, Sticks, so I donned my "Sherlock Holmes" deerstalker this morning and made a few "enquiries".

I have a feeling that the answer to your question may well involve the late Sir Fred Hoyle, world-renowned astronomer.

:hello:

Sticks 30-12-2002 01:21 PM

You are in danger of having to attend the burns unit.:hugesmile:

Would you like to alaborate a bit more, or do you want me to

Mairi 30-12-2002 01:27 PM

As you are the one giving the presentation on this subject, Sticks, I think you should have the honour.

Sir Fredrick Hoyle, in discussing the curent theory that life arose from a chemical soup on the primordial Earth, said
Quote:

“The chance that higher forms have emerged in this way is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein {Hoyle on Evolution, Nature Vol 294, 12th November 1981}
Earlier he had also said
Quote:


At all events, anyone with even a nodding acquaintance with the Rubik cube will concede the near-impossibility of a solution being obtained by a blind person moving the cubic faces at random. Now imagine 10^50 blind persons each with a scrambled Rubik cube, and try to conceive of the chance of them all simultaneously arriving at the solved form. You then have the chance of arriving by random shuffling at just one of the many biopolymers on which life depends. The notion that not only biopolymers but the operating programme of a living cell could be arrived at by chance in a primordial organic soup here on the Earth is evidently nonsense of a high order

All I need now is an unscrambled Rubik cube.....:spin2::spin:

Miriam, I am starting to think you are a VERY dark horse!!!!:shocked:

Neigh, Neigh, ROB.

I consulted the Great Oracle at Google to get my information, by the way. :thumbs:

So what's your presentation about Sticks?

Is it about how life started or Darwinism? Are you one of these creationists?

If I remember rightly, Fred Hoyle proposed that microscopic life was delivered to the Earth by comets. He also didn't believe that the universe started with a Big Bang.
