I doubt it will be run anything like the Motherlode...

Given who seems to be involved with it (judging by minimal examination of the context of links to it), I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Obviously a joint venture by three graphics freaks who "communicate at the SAME wavelength" ;-)

Let me re-phrase... What is its purpose? Celestia add-ons? Information, tips, tricks? I'm only curious; no need to be cryptic :wink:

Don't you think it's kinda ominous that the good ship "Celestial Matters" is in a nosedive heading for imminent crashlanding with a worried looking monster in the first window...? ;)

You probably want to make a picture that inspires a little more confidence ;)

You obviously has not taken into account the advanced Hunter-Parasite drive installed in the rocket, which automatically blasts anything ahead of it to a sub-atomic fog :mrgreen:

Obviously three (or four) well known Celestians (do we want to start a new quiz, Fridger? :wink: - though we know who is behind this) are planning a big deal.
Take a look at the website, the layout and design is Runars "handwriting".

My Klapperschlangen just sits in the corner rattling. Noisy as ever. Really puts a damper on my daily look into the Celestial Matters website. Figures the first new German word that I seem to have memorized in years is for an animal. No practical use. Do they even have Klapperschlangen in Germany? :wink:

Buggs,
to refine your german knowledge: :wink:
We say 1 Klapperschlange and two or more Klapperschlangen. Notice the "n" at the end!
In fact we have some not very toxic snakes and vipers but no Klappperschlangen in Germany.

@bh:
Hilimilihertzenphlasterentferner? Never heard of it!
Hilimili = ?
Herzenpflasterentferner = Somebodyho removes plasters (in shape of a heart)
What is to mean that? - I don't know-

But again we are drifting away from Celestia...

Hehe...it's an old character test for a machine called a 'Diatype'...made in Germany of course! I think I've spelt it wrong too.

A newer german character test goes like this:
"Franz jagt im komplett verwahrlosten Taxi quer durch Bayern".

I'm curious how you will interpret this... :wink:
