Maybe they should rethink their methods even I could tell you shooting a beach ball to mars and wishing for the best is a bad idea. But hell it works 1/3 of the time Le Comte De Lautreamont Le Comte De Lautreamont Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Beagle 2 #118318 01/09/04 02:45 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York And what happens the other 1/3 of the time?

Part of the recent Rumsfeld Trilogy: Known knowns - Things we know that we know.     E.g. Saddam had weapons of mass destruction Known unknowns - Things we know we don't know.     E.g., What he did with them. Unknown unknowns - Things we don't know we don't know.     E.g., Well, this one is hard to offer an example of, since we don't know what they are. The Unknown knowns are the ones he (Rumsfeld) left out. They would be things we don't know that we know and are almost as hard to show examples of as the Unknown unknowns, and for similar reasons.

L'autre amont. 'The other upstream/uphill/above'? Just wondering. Could help make the known unknown better known? Ed: Yes it is really disappointing about Beagle 2.
