With respect to the outcome of the elections I don't suppose it will make a great deal of difference in terms of lasting peace who wins, we are sadly a long way from a workable solution to the middle east situation, at least a generation. Regardless of the Israeli government there are other parties ...

Oh wait, now I see the M16.

I wonder if that's my friend form when I was little. I just fond out last summer that she joined the Israeli army to pay for college.

That's actually a really great photo.

Aren't all (with the usual exceptions) young Israelis required to join the army for national ...

Black holes don't have size; they're just a point.

They have mass, and their event horizons vary in size, but the hole itself is always simply a point.

And a red giant may be big, but a neutron star, which is sometimes no larger than New York City, can be denser than a red giant.



Which just ...

Make a fist with both hands facing down, then put the knuckles of your index fingers together. Working across your knuckles from left to right, counting both the peaks and the troughs, with the knuckle of your left little finger January, the troughs beside February, the next knuckle March and so on ...

Haha, you flatter me Neph and make it impossible to resist another comment. I don't actually think evolution and concept of creation all that incompatible depending on what is meant by creation. (Now there is an opportunity to quote me out of context, anybody?)

In a pantheist, and yes deist, sense ...

No, no need for another thread, I've talked all I can on this subject here many moons ago and now just vicariously peruse the boards every few weeks when I've had a few (as I had last night). I guess really I just wanted to make a smart arse remark (with a literary allusion to convey my culture ...

I'd venture to say that the view that "evolution and creationism" are not incompatible is the majority view among Christians. I know for a fact that it is among Catholics at least.


In addition to the Roman Catholic church, Methodists, Lutherans, Anglicans/Episcopaliens, Presbyterians and even a ...

Try piercing them through the hind quarters with a straw, you may get a bit of seepage but should prevent critical mass.

I'm thinking what might be worse than eating all the expired stuff is eating what ever is preventing it from composting back to dirt in less than a decade.

Not all stuff preventing food composting is bad. I've kept my pickled onions for years and they just get better, and fruit in syrup, not to ...

It was my day to cook on the boat and I'd done lasagna, we were shooting away the last string when we got slapped up the stern by a big wave just as I opened the oven door. Lasagna went face down on the deck, I lost it and through the lot over the side along with half the stuff in the galley. We ...

Unless the US take the unlikely step of pegging the dollar to the peso it just won't be the same.

I disagree with point 3. Nothing wrong with a Bacon Double Wattle with Lies™.

ecstacy is a beautiful, spriritual gateway to universal love and empathy. Peace.

I swear I know the lad closest to the camera...

Ha! then please show him this

But seriously, is there any good reason for denying animals the basic rights we afford other humans, like the right to life and individual liberty? Or is the only difference between shooting a human and shooting a deer that one is illegal "because the law says so"?

The difference between shooting ...

Democrats want to save criminals and murder babies.

That way you can upgrade your power to consume high fructose corn syrup, which is... totally natural and made from corn. Sweet.

uhh im not sure if i follow but haven't you seen the commercial? There is nothing wrong with high fructose corn ...

no, they don't exist anymore.

I did see a hippocrocopig the other day though, they're still about.

Through the security of modern existence your god has become yourself. This leaves you with the paradox of your bearing the responsibility of ultimate truth when you can not know it. In turn, to maintain stability of thought, you must use the notion that you understand everything by knowing nothing ...

The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal - an animal so mindboggingly stupid it believes if you can't see it, it can't see you.

She's inspired me to put some dollar on the outcome. Obama has goofed it already and she, as unelectable as she is to most of us, is just perfect for the crazys who care enough to vote on mass. Maybe you can convince some of those who don't care enough to be crazy, and form the silent 45% who don't ...

Specialty.

Enough said.

Speaking of off-topic I had a bad experience once with slightly out of date nougat based confectionary myself once, wasn't pretty, but I didn't get a warning for it so it can't of been that bad borborygmi.

I hate horse racing - 'ooh let's see how fast a big animal can run with a midget on its back. Oh look, it's fallen over, let's shoot it in the head and sell it to a French butcher. Or we could just flog it and make another sports thread.'

If you put it like that pretty much every sport seems ...

I am sadly ignorant of any proto-existential themes in the work of the early Romantics. I am taking a class on existentialism this term however, perhaps I can join this soon-to-be discussion in a month or two.


PS. Do Dostoevsky and Nietzsche count as early Romantics?

I'd say they're early ...

With such an insufferably smug cartoon to introduce, no mac version, and as I said in Inks post Google's tendency to never get past beta, i hope everyone just forgets about it sooner or later, otherwise it will ultimately become "Just another browser" in an already way too crowded market place ...
