In Jonathan Swift's book "Gulliver's Travels" have a look at chapter 3 of "A Voyage To Laputa". It reads : "They have likewise discovered two lesser stars, or satellites, which revolve about Mars, whereof the innermost is distant from the centre of the primary planet exactly 3 of his diameters, and the outermost 5". There is nothing unusual in that except Gulliver's Travels was published in 1726 and Mars' 2 moons were first discovered by US astronomer Asaph Hall in 1877!

Italian mathematician Geronimo Cardano published the laws of chance governing card & dice games. But he became most famous for his accurate horoscope predictions. He even predicted his own death in 1576 - even down to the exact hour. When the time came he was still healthy, so he killed himself rather than being proved wrong!

When Mark Twain was born on November 30, 1835, Halley's Comet was visible in the sky over Florida, Missouri. It did not pass very near to the earth that year, but its presence was enough to create a legend. Aware throughout his life that he was born when Halley's Comet was visible, Mark Twain predicted in 1909 that he would die when it returned: "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it.... The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'" He was right. When Mark Twain died on April 21, 1910, Halley's Comet was once again visible in the sky.

    • Probably being in IT for 2 decades, and spending my time documenting trees worth of shit and also being on the receiving end has taught me a thing or two.
    • Why's that depressing, wouldn't it be able to go indefinitely until the battery gets old and craps itself? If it's constantly on charge/maintaining charge, won't that keep the battery healthy?
    • One of my concerns initially was if something catches fire somehow.
    • I think I know what you mean. I saw the same thing a while back, I think either the images on the website were wrong or the model was slightly updated. It was weird when I first looked at it, same model but different looking unit.
    • At work we've got a smaller version of the Projecta that Duncan posted above. At home, I have an ALDI trickle charger. Ive had it for about 8 years now. Only issue with it, it's a smart charger, so if the battery is dead, it won't bring it up, but I have a variable power supply that I limit current on, and set to a max of 14.4v. once it starts charging up, I put the aldi unit on and remove the variable PSU. ALDI one will do 12v, or 6v, then has mode for "car" "motorbike", and "snow". With car or motorbike more for its internal workings, and snow is the trickle mode. I have a battery in the garage that lives on this charger for about the last 18 months now on Snow mode. When I need to charge my other batteries (eg, ones that have died in a car), I get them started and then run it on car mode. Voltage is always sitting really nice, and hasn't killed a battery yet. that charger isn't good for things like Lithium batteries etc, I'd only use it on Lead Acid.
