    This list is incomplete.


    Where is the pink slip for the Best Buy Corporate employees?


    Or maybe the profits from 3Q 2008.

    @OMG! Chrismukkah!: Pink Slips? Oh, you must be wondering about those $20k+++ (depending on seniority, education, and how many times you've said: "look at our compeditors, and tack another $300 onto the price" when deciding how much TV's should cost) checks sitting by the receptionist with your name on it as long as you agree to not come back to work... ever.
    I would hardly call that a pink slip.

    Constellations actually move with the seasons etc, so it'll only betray your ignorance futher.

    @MadCrazy: I, for one, dont have a problem admitting my ignorance, and my life long quest for knowledge is a result of admiting I dont know everything. I can think of worse ways to spend my life than trying to correct ignorance; like maybe being a pompous, arrogant bastard, for instance.

    I really like this. I am a nut for maps and globes and think this is beyond cool as I have nothing in the way of start charts.

    I find it interesting that in Christopher Columbus' day we had ships but no maps. Today we have maps but no ships.

    @admoseremic: They had plenty of maps. Cartography was a big deal and explorers didn't just "explore"; they made maps.


    The maps were usually inaccurate of a large scale because of the lack of portable accurate timepieces necessary to accurately gauge longitude, but details like coastlines would often be quite accurate.


    Check out "Longitude" by Dava Sobel and "Riddle of the Compass" by Amir Aczel - two good quick reads about the Golden Age of Exploration.
