If Chris Kinsinger leaves PA at 1:30pm on a train going 55mph and H Rocco leaves FL at 12noon on a train going 34mph, where will they collide?

Probably right here, on this board.  Also, H Rocco wouldn't make a sound if he was on Phobos, one Mars' two moons (considering he claims to have been to Mars, this isn't too much of a stretch) but he would have to bring the forrest with him. NP: Just Cause, JNH

The difference? If he was abducted by Aliens, I bet they didn't leave him a chance to take the forest with him. Also, he might have been gaged, so even if he fell, he couldn't scream.NP: Richard Strauss: Metamorphoses (Staatskapelle Dresden, Rudolf Kempe)

I always hear A LOT of film music during sporting events; however,
I was quite surprised to hear a cue behind a political ad. A proposition
for Charter Schools is running in our state, and behind its television
endorsement is Doyle’s St. Crispin’s Day theme. It gradually grows in
strength towards the end of the segment. A few political managers
out there know soundtracks. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear more
film music behind political advertisements in the future.NP Champions

Well, as long as they were abducting him, why not take some trees as well? Get a good sampling of life on Earth?
And if they were taking him to Mars, they'd want some shade. Got some hot days there, and not an oak in sight.
UNLESS they took him to an ice cap... maybe it was a frozen martian forrest? And if I were an alien abducting humans, I might also be inclined to strand them on the next planet I passed, along with whatever else they had with them (like forrests).
But that begs the question: how did he get back?NP: Toy Story 2, Randy Newman

Well John, maybe they wanted to put their victim under pressure, and figured that without a familiar sight, like a wood, this might work better. Even if they were aware of the fact that there are usually a lot of spiders in a forest, they probably didn't know about Rocco's feelings towards them.Joan: That once again reminds me of the shock I had when I saw an excerpt of a Serbian propaganda video two years ago in the news, and it was accompanied by the Imperial March.

But, paradoxically, being under pressure, he would have had to reveal to them the whole spider "thing." Thus, they would have made a return trip for the forrest.
The consequences, of course, would be that Rocco, in his deprived and tortured state, could have told them anything. Just imagine what powerful secrets they could have learned from him! (Uh, Rocco, do you know any powerful secrets? Oh, well. I'm sure you could make some up).
Anyway, armed with their newfound intelligence, they will procede to attack the planet.[Message edited by John Dunham on 10-22-2000]

But John! This could very well be the answer to your question about how Rocco came back to Earth. Just imagine Rocco, heroically escaping from the Alien spacecraft after their return to Earth to pick up some trees. I don't know what he did then, but apparently, the Aliens let him go. Or maybe not? Is this really the "real" Rocco? Or is all this Ifukube talk maybe a new trick by the Aliens to conquer the world? Just remember how they turned all the English men into Scotsmen to win Wimbledon!NP: Ballata Sinfonica (Akira Ifukube) - There it works! I'm under Alien control! Waaah!

"If Chris Kinsinger leaves PA at 1:30pm on a train going 55mph and H Rocco leaves FL at
12 noon on a train going 34mph, where will they collide?"JJH, you are incorrigible. I love it! Um...every time I have taken a train, I have noted that I am moving MUCH FASTER than the automobile traffic. Therefore, I find your proposal to be flawed. Passenger trains do not travel under 70 MPH. Also therefore, as I have completed my calculations despite your mathematical errors, Rocco & I would most assuredly collide in Atlanta, Georgia, just outside the home of Ted Turner.

But if Rocco escaped while they were picking up the trees, he couldn't have fallen in the forrest after the aliens dumped it on phobos (which, icidentally, has no gravity to speak of; it's only a couple miles long, and not even round) so he would have had to escape AFTER he fell, which means the aliens brought him BACK onboard and took him BACK to earth for some reason. Pod people?

Who said he DID fall, after all? Maybe we just discovered that the whole idea of Rocco falling in the woods on Phobos is a paradoxon to begin with.Interesting that the mysterious H himself doesn't say a word about this. Government secret? Dubious unknown military plans? NP: First Blood (somebody called Goldschmied)

I've also heard from this man. I think there was some bitching going on that he only won one single Academy Award. I think it's strange that he even won that one, if nobody knows his name. Maybe the Academy made a mistake.Actually, I even faintly remember that D2 once mentioned this guy's name. Wasn't it "Who"? Weird name. Does the World Health Organisation have a film scoring department? Maybe the whole thing is another factory, like MediaVentures. NP: First Blood (yet another composer whose name I cannot remember.

Wow, Nicolai, I haven't had a Windmill in years! They were one of my favorites as a small child. While other kids were busy eating their super-frosted sugar-laden discs of dough, I was enjoying my Windmills. Okay, so it's not like they were very much healthier than other cookies, but they were just as delicious as those chocolate ring cookies everybody ate around their fingers. I'm going to have to go to Pik-Kwik tomorrow and get a bag. Thanks for refreshing my memory! James

Hmm, not sure I've ever had a Windmill. My favorites as a child were Oatmeal cookies, chocolate chip of almost any brand, and, in a slightly related category, miniature donuts with waxy chocolate frosting on them (pretty much any brand.) These days I'm especially partial to Famous Amos (no nuts, please, but either milk or dark chocolate will do) mixed up with Haagen Dazs vanilla. NE: out of ice cream, but there's cookies left!!!!!!! And I have a coupon for more ...

No.
I noticed you can't make additional lines by typing enter repeatedly; it automatically deletes all but two of them. I wanted to see if it could be done by putting assorted spaces on those lines.

Welcome to the ranks of the Feline-Enslaved, Marian. As a Human, you will be required to:1) Clean Litterboxes frequently, or find Interesting Prizes on your rug; 2) Serve premium Food to your Ruling Feline(s), up to and including whatever you have prepared for yourself at any given meal; 3) Provide quality Scritching and Petting whenever your Ruling Feline(s) require it; 4) Provide Comfort and Alternative Thrones whenever you have to employ that nasty old vacuum cleaner; 5) Learn to sleep while occupying 57% less space on your bed, in order to accomodate your Ruling Feline(s). Being owned by an understanding cat can be very rewarding! Some humans have gone on to be Architects, Musicians, Computer Programmers, Educators, and even Civil Servants, while still beholden to one or more cats. I myself had a job once! Good luck, Marian!
