    Around sunset on Saturday -- August 27th -- an interesting planetary event will occur at the western horizon near you.
    This event is called a planetary conjunction, which occurs when two objects in the night sky, such as planets, appear close to each other before they start to drift apart.
    The two objects in this conjunction will be Venus and Jupiter -- two of the brightest planets as seen from earth.
    Accordingly, we offer for your approval, 3 True-or-False ("TorF") questions about this Venus and Jupiter conjunction.
    Please give us your best answer for each of the following 3 TRUE or FALSE questions, by using the (reuseable) answers of "A"=TRUE or "B"=FALSE.
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
    Ok, at sunset on Saturday, look West, you planet gazers!

++ Jupi-Venus-Con ++
Question #1: Conjunctions of Venus and Jupiter happen multiple times every decade. True or False?
        T|A. True, or
        F|B. False.
    Saturday's event, called a conjunction, is a rather common event and occurs when two objects in the night sky, such as planets, appear close to each other before they start to drift apart.
    Conjunctions of Venus and Jupiter happen multiple times every decade; however, what will make Saturday's conjunction so uncommon is how close the two planets will appear.
Question #2:  The next time that Venus and Jupiter will be this close to each other will be nearly 50 years from now in November of 2065. True or False?
        T|A. True, or
        F|B. False.
    Venus and Jupiter will be so close to each other in the night sky that some people may mistake them for one single star.
    The next time that Venus and Jupiter will be this close to each other will be nearly 50 years from now in November of 2065.
Question #3: While the conjunction will be visible around the world, the best viewing conditions are in store for those across the Northern Hemisphere. True or False?
        T|A. True, or
        F|B. False.
    How to view the conjunction
    As long as the weather cooperates, the best time to view the conjunction will be 30 to 60 minutes after sunset on Saturday evening.
    People hoping to view the celestial event will also need to have a clear view of the western horizon as the planets will not be high in the sky.
    Stargazers will be in for an added treat as Mercury will also be visible near Venus and Jupiter, making for a trio of planets in close proximity in the evening sky.
    Mercury may be difficult to spot, especially since it is not nearly as bright as Venus and Jupiter.

    While the conjunction will be visible around the world, the best viewing conditions are in store for those across the Southern Hemisphere.

2016[34]A -- Ins-Net As for Aug 19, 2016: International Dating Moves [H-T-F]

Insomniac-Net ANSWERS -- Friday[34], Aug 19, 2016 [ H - T - F ]
Tonight's Topic: International Dating Moves
ANSWERS = [ H - T - F ]
Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us last night.
    We hope you discovered something interesting during the time we spent together on the Insomniac Net last night.
    Thanks to you all for playing along -- it was a lot of FUN for us. Hopefully, YOU had fun too!
        -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
    (Please Note: The Net Controller's Answers are always CORRECT (even if they aren't every time!)
    Please check out Winsystem's Insomniac Trivia Net page.
    You can get these Questions & Answers at the Yahoo-groups' Messages Link.
=================
NOTE: We hope this possibly mature topic does not offend anybody!
    Yep, once again, it's another "old school" topic that LW was pondering about all this week: International Dating Moves.
    In those ancient days as a teenage, LW encountered several slang phrases to describe common "dating maneuvers" (which, by the way, most teenage girls hated).
    Accordingly, we offer for your approval tonight, 3 "Fill-in the Blank" International Dating phrases missing their romantic "moving" body component(s).
    Please fill-in the __BLANK__ from the set of 3 (non-reuseable) answers of "F", "H", or "T" listed below each question.
    OK, pucker up, and get ready for a kiss goodnight -- or a slap!
BUT first, a word from our Sponsor:

++ International Dating Moves ++
Question #1: Which "moving" body part goes with the Dating Moves slang phrase: "Roman ________"?
F. Fingers, or
H. Hands, or ["Rushing" Hands]
T. Tongue.
Question #2: Which "moving" body part goes with the Dating Moves slang phrase: "French  ________"?
F. Fingers, or
H. Hands, or
T. Tongue.  [French Tongue -- or French Tongue "Kissing"]
Question #3Which "moving" body part goes with the Dating Moves slang phrase: "Russian  ________"?
F. Fingers, or ["Rushing" Fingers]
H. Hands, or
T. Tongue
LW Notes:
    I remember... (personally):

Back in the old days (1950s, 60s, early 70s?), an amorous boy who tried to get "physical" with his date by touching or caressing her (without her permission) would often be identified as a "Fast" boy with "Roman (i.e., roaming) Hands" and "Russian (i.e., rushing) Fingers".
Everybody knew that the "Good Girls" stayed away those "Fast Boys" -- end of story!
Yet sometimes, a boy and a girl would date for a long time before the girl even allowed her boyfriend to kiss her goodnight -- let alone to "go (physically) further".

A serious couple might engage in more physical, initmate actions like French (Tongue) Kissing, caressing each other (often called "petting"), etc.
I remember my Dad discussing with me what was "proper" dating expectations and behaviors -- basically, always act like a Gentleman.
I even remember watching Jr. High School "Health" films which depicted socially "proper" Young Adult dating behaviors and activities; however,

Here's a more technical description:
Roman hands and Russian fingers:
Jocular modification of roaming hands and rushing fingers.
Roman hands and Russian fingers pl ‎(plural only)
    (humorous or euphemistic) A tendency towards unwanted sexual touching
        2002, Lon Leatherland, A Town Called Woodbridge (page 51):
            "Let's just say he had Roman hands and Russian fingers," she said. "I made him take me back home."
        2005, Cleo Hicks Williams, Gratitude for Shoes: Growing Up Poor in the Smokies (page 366):
            I described them as foreigners — with Roman hands and Russian fingers. If that's all they wanted, they could just hit the dusty trail. I double-dated some, but decided I wasn't going out by myself with a boy again.

++ TWEET OF THE DAY ++   --  from a Twit:
"I met this really great guy over the weekend at the beach house. He must be from out of town, cause he says he has hands from _Rome_ and fingers from _Russia_. How does that happen? Did he have plastic surgery?"
