If Earth Had Rings

First off, they would be really pretty to look at. They would also dominate the sky in both night and day at exactly the same place as they would never rise nor set. And at night you would see the Earth’s shadow swing across the rings, like in the 4th photo here.

However, life would be very different on Earth if this were the case. Nocturnal animals would have a hard time being nocturnal, as the light reflecting from the rings would illuminate the night.

Because we are closer to the Sun than Saturn is, the rings would be more rocky than ice, making them less bright but still pretty bright. In fact, you would see far less stars at night (living anywhere other than the equator or the arctic circle) because of the light pollution and not to mention ruin most meteor showers because of that.

During the day the rings would block sunlight in certain regions of the planet creating wild weather cycles and effecting plant life as well. So basically, they would be definitely pretty to look at but they would also make a whole lot of things screwy.

My dad’s exact words when he gave me this were “I know you need new stick thingies for your 3DS so I bought you this rainbow collection ‘cause you like those weird alien things that have homosexual feelings for rainbows.”
Thank you dad.

literally perfect parent

Saw this somewhere else and felt the need to post it cause no one else ever really tells you this stuff

My mom never really noticed. She noticed when she was breast feeding my little brother and blood started coming out instead of milk. 

My mom said she felt and saw a little lump in the shower. She was lucky enough she found it at stage 2

My mom had a mammogram. The radiologist thought the spots were just regular calcium deposits. 
Turns out it was triple negative breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nods. Mastectomy, radiation and chemo saved her life.
This could SAVE a life.

Signal BOOST and pass it on. I had a breast cancer scare before (luckily it was just scar tissue…) and information like this kept me calm and collected at the doc’s.

Plot twist: The next companion is a normal girl/boy who only dies once in their lifetime and has no remarkable back story but he thinks they’re wonderful because they are human and the Doctor needs reminding that you don’t need to be a mystery to be remarkable. 

#and the doctor never has to kiss them or sexualize them at all #in fact they are not even attracted to the doctor

so in other words we want donna back

END OF SCHOOL YEAR GIVEAWAY!


School ends in two weeks for me, so to celebrate the coming of summer, you get a giveaway. Prizes are:

  • Thor Hammer 3D Deco Light
  • Captain America Shield 3D Deco Light
  • The Hunger Games Trilogy
  • Hulk and Thor 16 oz Glass Cups
  • Hansel & Gretel Blu-Ray/DVD (not out yet, but by the time this ends i’ll be able to send it via amazon.)
  • Avengers Blu-Ray/DVD (this one is used because it was my copy, but I got my Phase 1 which also has the movie so I decided to give this one away. Oh and Sam may have been trying to eat the sleeve thingy…)

So I count 6 things, so 6 people get to win one thing. 

RULES

  1. Reblog or Like as many times as you wish.
  2. Don’t have to be following me, though I must admit I am quite fucking awesome.
  3. 6 people will win via random selection, first to respond gets first choice and so on and so forth. So if you’re the last one, then you get whatever is left. Have your ask box open please. If I have to bust a mission to find out where your ask link is then I will pick someone else, because the other choice would be to stab you.
  4. This will end on the 3rd of June, 2013 at 11:59PM US Pacific Time.

I was going to give out a Phase One, however, due to unforeseen crap I have to hold off on that one till Fall. I do apologize. Oh and this is not restricted to the US. 

Any Questions, my ask box is open.
