Is there such a thing called Big Bang for a forum thread? If yes then that is what must have happened here. It all started as a few harmless comments but then things got out of hand yesterday when Ed, Snowy, JM and yours truly engaged in a heated conversation over a vague topic which drifted in all possible directions at once; hence the big bang!
Anyway, if you happen to hear a story remotely related to F1, you may post it here.

This thread would constitute a "Gas Giant" in astronomical terms and they can go on for eons until they are gobbled up by the star they circle

Something to do with rodents and the theory of relativity I presume.....

Is Harvey a rodent?

What does Wikipedia say about rabbits?
Rabbits and hares were formerly classified in the order Rodentia (rodent) until 1912, when they were moved into a new order Lagomorpha. This order, in addition to containing rabbits and hares, also includes the pikas.
Do we know any pikas?

A super-nova type of phenomenon.

The only thing that comes to my mind is a cartoon character named pikacu (or was that chu?). My cousin's kid is crazy about that yellow rodent. I can't tell what it is to save my life.

So far this thread defied all rules of the forum. Relativity is just a small step compared to that. Rodents, especially white labrats, on the other hand may have a significant impact on our world (you ought to know if you ever read Douglas Adams, if not it's high time to give it a shot). If Harvey is indeed a rodent we should start treating him with more respect.

Supernovae are stars that have reached the end of their lives and quite literally explode. Gas Giants are planets and orbit stars, now if a gas giant were to be darft enough to orbit a supernova it's only got itself to blame when things go pear shaped.

Slartybardfast told me to be wary of rodents bearing gifts

Well, this thread had reached its useful lifetime about 100 posts ago but it's still growing. Every post getting more and more

Latest rumor:
Kamui Kobayashi, a talented young Japanese driver, may be the test driver for Totoya's F1 cars in a few years' time.

Every time I fall asleep under the pool table I wake up with a fish in my ear and recollections of some rather strange dreams
