Bondathon for Statistics

Acquired this weekend: A View To A Kill. I finally have ALL of the James Bond movies. Next up…watching them all in order…with a purpose.

If I’m going to do the Bondathon, I’m going to accomplish something at the same time. I’m going to keep track of a few statistics. Here’s what I’m going to track, so far…

  • Locations Visited
  • Languages Spoken
  • Times Bond is Shot
  • Times Bond is Stabbed or Slashed
  • Times Bond is Poisoned
  • Times Bond is Knocked Out
  • Times Bond is Fired
  • Times Bond Quits
  • Women Slept With
  • Women Slept With Who Then Die
  • Cars Driven To Destruction

People killed isn’t realistic. Bond has destroyed several HQs, loaded with underpaid henchmen forced to wear ridiculous costumes. There’s no way to keep track of the number of people he killed. Beyond this, though, I’m open to suggestions.

Bondathon will include the Peter Sellers Casino Royale (just because I have it) and Connery’s Never Say Never Again, because I feel it should be included.

Start date has not been determined, but I’ll keep you posted…

My favorite constellation. And one of my favorite songs by King’s X.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN   Perhaps the most famous star cluster on the sky, the Pleiades can be seen without binoculars from even the depths of a light-polluted city. Also known as the Seven Sisters and M45the Pleiades is one of the brightest and closest open clusters. The Pleiades contains over 3000 stars, is about 400 light years away, and only 13 light years across.  (Photo: Robert Gendler via NASA APOD)

I love that Bacall says an entire paragraph to the photographer in the second photo…without uttering a single word.

Dynamic Earth

Watch as this NASA animation shows the sun blasting out a giant explosion of magnetic energy called a coronal mass ejection and the Earth being shielded from this by its powerful magnetic field.

The sun also continuously showers the Earth with light and radiation energy. Much of this solar energy is deflected by the Earth’s atmosphere or reflected back into space by clouds, ice and snow. What gets through becomes the energy that drives the Earth system, powering a remarkable planetary engine — the climate.
