Apollo 13

see also successful failure

Less then one year after man first walked on the moon Apollo 13 was simply a "routine" flight until a faulty thermostat caused an oxygen canister to explode, blowing an entire side of the spacecraft away, the ship eventally starts leaking oxygen and the crew (Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise) have to survive in the Lunar Module until they can safely make it back to earth. But they didn't get to play with moom rocks.

REM

Rapid Eye Movement
a great rock band whos best records are probably "Out Of Time" "Document" and "Automatic For The People"

they sing about what rock 'n' roll was orginnally about, being against mainstream society, but some so-called rock music see punk-pop and MTV hs distorted what REM really is, listen to the lyrics on "Its The End Of The World As We Know It" and "Losing My Religion"

all in all a pretty good band, up there with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Led Zeppelin
"Man R.E.M. and rock alltogether rocks, MTV and rap sucks gay cock"

freezing rain

Freezing rain occurs when the tempurature in the cloud and directly below the cloud are above freezing (32 degrees F), and the ground or surfaces that the rain hits are below 32 degrees. The result is big enough to shut the Washington DC metro area down for a few days.
We had freezing rain last night, so they cancelled school for a week.
