Unfortunately you morphed with another alias before I could
make a two mouse click killfile entry... So I might as well
steer you toward likenesses of the James Webb Telescope.
See: http://images.google.com/images?q=Webb%20Telescope
Have a good day in my killfile.

So are you the "someone" who left the cake out in the rain? Just the facts,
please.

Fact is Jim is a nickname for James, as in James Web
Telescope.
Jack is a nickname for John. Don't know of any John Webb
telescope; unless you can enlighten us.

I see that one went over your head. Jimmy Webb wrote the song "MacArthur
Park," which included the line "Someone left the cake out in the rain."
Jack Webb, from Dragnet, would always ask "Just the facts, Ma'am."

I already got the joke about the stiff detective and the
singer.
So, we're almost even. I watched Dragnet growing up. I
listened
to MacCarther Park in my youth. That said it's evident that
my
reference to the Jim vs. Jack as nicknames went over YOUR
head.

ALMOST even. ;-) I didn't comment on the Jim=James/John=Jack because I
knew it as an obvious one.
OK, now, for 10 points AND the game... who was the announcer who said, "The
names have been changed to protect the innocent?"
