General Info & Missions
General Info
- I'm a student, who likes to read and fix mistakes. Misplaced Pages just fulfills my urges.
- Since I don't have much in-depth knowledge of any one subject, but rather a mind full of trivia, I'm on a personal mission to destroy vandalism, delete nonsense and do basic janitorial work with my new mop
- Vandals make me angry...
- By the way, Bratsche means viola in German, my musical instrument of choice
- Musicians: Why don't you leave me a good viola joke... :)
- You asked for it: voila! and here it is! Uncle Ed 19:49, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, now the competition is on. Sango123 left me a whole slew of jokes, and was awarded a Wikicookie. If you can top this, you'll also get a reward!!!
- Thanks to Mindspillage, Antandrus, RobertG, and Flcelloguy for adding to the collection. If you would like to have a Wikicookie, add a few on over there.

- I am also an Eagle Scout
- Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page
Missions
- I have a mission to help with as many Wiki Fixup Projects as I can. They usually give me a quick Wikifix during the day.
- Actually, the random page button is really nice to use too, in order to find needy articles
- Currently watching: Special:Recentchanges. Back on RC patrol. Using CryptoDerk's Vandal Fighter.
A Poem
| Echoing silence |
| Darkness lit up by beams |
| Light |
| Seeking its counterpart |
| In melody |
| Stillness |
| Striving for liberations |
| In a word |
| Life |
| In dust |
| In shadow |
| How seldom growth and blossom |
| How seldom fruit |
| -Dag Hammarskjöld |

The Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator was a facility developed by NASA in the early 1960s to study human movement under simulated lunar gravity conditions. It was located at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia and was designed to prepare astronauts for the Moon landings during the Apollo program. The simulator was tilted at a 9.5-degree angle from the vertical and test subjects were suspended on their side by cables at the same angle. This set-up allowed the trainees to walk along the surface while experiencing only one-sixth of Earth's gravity. It was also used to study the physiological effects on the astronaut's body during movement. In total, 24 astronauts used the simulator to train for lunar missions, including all three astronauts of the Apollo 1 mission. This photograph, taken in 1963, shows a test subject being suited up by two technicians on the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator.Photograph credit: NASA
