sweefraapp Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 By accident, I deleted today's day in history. This is yesterday's - includes date on Raoul Wallenberg. We just warmed up to 0 degrees F here in the warmest city in Minnesota. On this day in ? * 1806, the first baby was born in the White House, the grandson of President Thomas Jefferson. * 1871, Andrew Hallikie received a patent for a cable car system that went into service in San Francisco in 1873. * 1945, Swedish, non-Jewish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, credited with saving tens of thousands of Jews, disappeared in Hungary while in Soviet custody. * 1946, the U.N. Security Council held its first meeting. * 1991, in the first day of Operation Desert Storm, U.S.-led forces hammered Iraqi targets in an effort to drive Iraq out of Kuwait; a defiant Iraqi President Saddam Hussein declared that the "mother of all battles" had begun. Looks like futures pulled back slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 "at least until the sun goes out and turns the earth into a huge iceball and . . .)" I thought the sun was going to go supernova and fry us all. And if you don't agree you're a #%@!!!!!! First the sun is going to go supernova, then it will go out. Now do you feel better, Drano?

Guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Drano, our sun is not massive enough to go supernova. It is most likely to end as a red giant and finally as a white dwarf - source. Regards, Vesselin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Vesselin But Vesselin, suppose some very advanced alien race that hates the very thought of capitalism being spread throughout the galaxy once Earth achieves interstellar flight decides to preempt this by firing a small black hole into the sun? Wouldn't that cause it to go supernova? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board has some of the wittiest people anywhere. And you guys' ability to lay your hands on appropriate graphics and animations is just amazing.

Guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Glad, no, the black hole would just swallow the sun and its planetary system in an immense gravitational collapse. (Drat, almost wrote "deflationaly collapse". :grin: ) Regards, Vesselin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrStool Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Don't forget to join me in Stooltrading today. I'm a little nervous about the first few hours. Day after opex is usually wild in the AM as positions are reset. Charts are updated every few minutes as needed. Comments every half hour. Later!

Takachi Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Thats odd, I didn't see this headlined. Tokyo, Jan. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Mizuho Holdings Inc. forecast a 1.95 trillion yen ($16 billion) full-year loss, almost nine times its earlier estimate and the largest ever by a Japanese company, bowing to government pressure to write off bad loans faster.
