Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
So what makes Stephen Hawking an expert all of a sudden

Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Coming on to bring you the Banana Splits show
Making up a mess of fun, Making up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone
Tra la la, la la la la, tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la, tra la la, la la la la
Four banana, three banana, two bananas, one
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun,
Flipping like a pancake, popping like a cork,
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and, Snork
Really? Because, you know. They invented metric to cover all this moon business up. If you use it too much, it robs you of your science prowess and truth belief.
Round to the most convenient
Convert it to the units that you made up to fit your other data which is in other units
Here's the thing, though.
Your numbers are rounded. In reality your statistics about rotations are both rounded and variable. The earth and moon haven't always rotated at the same rate and they won't into the future so even if your numbers were exact...well they still wouldn't mean anything since being divisible by 4 and 10 is a pretty pointless property.

109.28
the ratio of the size of the earth to that of the sun
109.25
the number of Earth diameters across the diameter of the sun
109.26
the number of solar diameters across the Earth's orbit at aphelion
he named them after himself! they must be right!
services I recommend: tonx coffee *highly recommended* | everlane | dropbox
Which only come in whole numbers
The group that is in charge of the standards of the metric system is actually really cool. Like a perfect kilogram and such in a sealed glass box. I read an article about it once, pretty neat stuff.
what the fuck is a megalithic yars
is that a real thing?
God, I love this
Wolfram Alpha says differently?
unless "size" doesn't mean what i think it does
I'm talking like Green Lantern Superman here.
It all makes sense
Those first two numbers are directly related to one another and they STILL aren't exactly the same.

He means diameter, which does work out to 109.2
the damn moon is full tonight. and i, for one, firmly believe in the increase of noticeably crazy people during the full moon.
"Think of it as Evolution in Action"
no, diameter was one of the other ones.
And I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure that the diameter ratio and the volume ratio aren't going to be the same unless the sphere's are the same in every way?
The ratio of the size of the earth to the sun as measured by their diameters is the same as the ratio of the earth's diameter to the sun's diameter. It is all coming together. Will I be tested on this?
Oh. I guess he was just repeating himself.
oh fuck you're right, that must really be the answer here.
but the numbers were different!
The moon isn't actually full it's--bah I can't come up with anything good.
Something something ratio.
May I join your crazy moon cult? I'm taking an interest in lunar theology and yours seems like the best fit for my orbital being.
BUT
it's also the name of the mid-90's boy band!
COINCIDENCE?!
No, this guy has his own brand. It's high end shit too.
Yeah I guess it's just wankery!
Who would win in a fight: Green Lantern Superman or Green Lantern Batman?
Congratulations moon guy.
You beat out dragon's blood toothpaste.

this is starting to seem kinda trollish
