Nope, you must mean 'the sun never sets on the British Empire', a poetical way of saying that the Empire was sufficiently global that, at any given point in the 24 hour cycle, it was daylight somewhere in the Empire. You guys gave away all that part away with your DOI. It could be also said though that the sun never set on the British Empire because God did not trust the British in the dark. :lol:	WalOne (4202)

1430542	2017-01-09 08:05:00	Well BM it is the facts presented in a "Comic" form for those who are more visual rather than cerebral. For instance, if you imagine the age of the entire Universe as being one year then the Earth has only existed since August and the time of man is the last second, of the last hour, of the last day, of the last month. Or, imagine that the Earth is the size of a grain of sand, then the Sun will be a sphere the size of a large grape fruit 15 mters away, the planet Pluto will be 600 meters away and the nearest star will be somewhere in Australia, I forget the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy on this scale but I think it was some very large figure in light years.	zqwerty (97)

What you are actually saying is it is Rubbish presented in Comic Form for the Dumb? Why? Surly there must be other ways to entertain them? And whatever are you smoking? I want some or I’ll never keep up with your imagination. :D	B.M. (505)
1430545	2017-01-09 08:33:00	Just the facts BM presented visually and the last two as a presentation to be viewed in the imagination but true nevertheless. Don't smoke or drink for years now. Not 'dumb' because not cerebral some people learn better with visual presentations, there are also tactile learners, it is elitist to see the categories as being in some way better or worse, most humans are very aware and alert and awake.	zqwerty (97)
