we'd only need a mirror 3 light years away to see baz luhrmann recoring it
not if he was indoors or on the wrong side of the Earth!

duh, the earth is spinning so the most we'd have to wait is 12 hours.

and even if hes indoors all we need is an x-ray or something.

Baz Lurhman - the guy who recorded 'Everybody's free (to wear sunscreen)'

Coincidentally im painting the lyircs to this song on my bedroom wall this sunday :D

and would an x-ray thing-y really enable you to see an image reflected in a mirror!?!?!

i cudnt be arsed to quote the various bits i wanted to critise, so that was the easiest option - seeing as it was the last thing said and therefore needed no introduction.

i could continue outlining the downfalls of this theory if you so wish...

The fact the mirror to give an image of the world 1000 light years away (taking into account light moves in straight lines and would be diverging constantly) would have to be approximately one huge motherfucking mirror billions (more probably) of times the size of the earth, could be a minor stumbling block for this noble idea. The resolution provided by the reflected image, even if the mirror was big enough to give a picture of the earth, would not be sufficient to zoom in, you would be doing extraordinarily well to even see the earth which would be a mere dot (if visible at all).

Look, i think we all worked that out from the start, and you are just a big party-pooper

as i mentioned earlier (in a rather fetching shade of pink) this plan is foolproof so don't try and wreck it......like a fool
