IMAQT, I agree. I've never seen anything like those clouds. I didn't even know such clouds existed! They must be very rare.
I wrote to Natalie saying that I can see why they're called mammatus clouds - as in mammary glands. The clouds look just like a cow's udder to me. ;D

TG, I think that's why they are called that too.

A great find by texasgal! "Video from cockpit of space shuttle landing. You can hear the voices in the cockpit and tower. It begins with just a view of the cloudy haze over land, then slowly the land becomes more visible. Really cool!" youtube.com/watch?v=9elcSXVNlMw

Another cool find by texasgal: "Even if you are not Jewish, this is amazing. The Jewish Star (of David) is also referred to as a MAGEN DAVID ("Shield of David.") All 24 letters of the Hebrew alphabet are found in a Magen David. There is no such thing in any other language."

Thank you for posting it, Natalie.
Trivia about an obscure alphabet must be as trivial as trivia gets. ;D
Modified to add: And somebody out there has wayyyyy too much time on his/her hands.

LMAO...I´ve seen it but it´s a pleasure to see Jerry again in that parody, if you saw Tom in his crazy scientlogywhateverisspelled this will be even better. How he laughs and stops...made me cry with laughter. And as you were talking about 300 and Gerry Butler some post ago I just loooove this one, and not only because of his lovely scottish accent. Sighs at Gerry and a kilt lol lol youtube.com/watch?v=PMzID3XSyE8&feature=related
