If you collapsed all the mass down into the universe so there is no space between the mass, do you know how much mass there is in the entire universe? Well, the whole universal mass can be consolidated down into the size of a bowling ball. So if you took that formula, <span class="math">E = mc^2[/spoiler], you can almost cross out mass. So the formula ends up being "energy equals the speed of light."

But diamond is a metal.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

Am I the only fag who noticed this?

Seasons are due to the fact that at different times of year the planet has tilted relative to the sun. This tilt causes the amount of atmosphere light has to travel through before it makes contact with the Earth. It is also why more northern and southern regions are colder than those at the equator, at the equator the light arriving at Earth (the rays of which are parallel) has to travel through less atmosphere to reach the surface. A good way to illustrate this is to draw a Circle, and draw a bigger circle around it, measuring from a "middle" point on the circumference on one circle to the middle point on the other circle will give a small unit than if one were to do the same at a higher or lower point. If we then tilt our paper a few degrees in either direction and measure again we shall notice our lines are now either shorter or longer.

My final point, The Earth is so far away from the sun the minor elliptical orbit our planet has would have little to no effect on a country's climate due to this distance being less than a half a percent of the overall distance to the sun.
