When I was a kid I played a computer game called SimEarth, where you were in charge of a planet from the time it forms, through life emerging, evolving, and becoming intelligent enough to colonize other planets. One of the groups of creatures that could roam around your planet were called...

Who wants a corporation to use his Savior's birthday to sell products anyway? It's a transparent ploy for attention.

If time had no beginning, there would be an infinite amount of time before the present. Which means that no matter how much time has passed you would never reach the present. Which is where you are, I think. They say to imagine that spacetime is like a big rubber sheet stretched out. If you...

Hey that's not fair. If they didn't want me to surf the net at work the cash register would not have a keyboard, a mouse, or firefox on it. Besides, I get paid on comission. When there are sales to be made of course I am making them; it's in my own interest. When there are not, I am reading...

It's ok, I'm still at work and it's kind of busy so maybe what I was trying to say came out unclear. I do understand why you would assume I disagreed with you though; most of the time I do. :D

No! I said that the right to bear arms was just as important as any other right. This is an issue on which I agree with you. What I don't like are the hypocrites on both sides who use the constitution when it is convenient for their case and disregard it when it is not. For example, those who...

I think it's funny that the same people who are so eager to protect gunowner's rights are the same people who don't seem to give a damn about the rights of those locked up in Guantanimo Bay and such places, and the ones who are so concerned with the rights of suspected terrorists don't seem to...

I want to get a Revolution but I am afraid it will go the way of the Virtual Boy.

When I was in high school in Georgia, at my school at least, and I think it may have been the entire county, they had to put a sticker in the front of all the biology books to the effect that evolution is just a theory and has as much weight as creationism. I had a good biology teacher though...

I got to go to the CNN center to learn how to use some tape editing equipment about the time the second one of those tapes came out, and I was pretty worried that that is what I would have to do. It wasn't, it was a basketball game and three hours of nothing happening outside the White House...

Nature says that if you are standing on Earth and you drop a rock it will fall to the ground a certain way. This is definitely going to happen. Nature says that if you take an apple seed and give it nutrients, water, and sunlight it will grow into an apple tree. This is definitely going to...

Other people say that that people who stood to lose from hemp or plastic production wanted it outlawed. Regardless it is now legal to have under an ounce in Denver if you are 21, but they can arrest you for it anyway. Imagine a man on a podium giving a speech about how playing baseball is...

Baron Max, yeah I guess you're right about that, and you reminded me that the US had a period of time when opium, heroin, and morphine were considered to be cure-alls. And after the Civil War thousands of veterans were hooked on morphine or whatever. But that doesn't wxplain (to me at least) why...

So how could somebody find out what that person (who got shot in the head) did? I had a hard time thinking of a drug-related charge one could justify using the death penalty for (ODing someone else?) but I'm sure there are a lot of people who disagree with me. Why? And why is Asia so...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,3605,1627424,00.html Is this one of those "too good to be true" things?

No matter if you are an infantryman or a chaplain or a baker or an electrician you have to do basic training and physical training, right? So he probably wasn't a girly man. And a chaplain is allowed to lift weights and stuff just like anybody else. Plus he got them drunk first. Is it a red...

"I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee." "Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods" "They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for...

How could you keep the plankton from multiplying so much as to reduce CO2 levels to the extent that you would start the next ice age?

Looking for sites that contain information, jokes, whatever, that you would not mind your boss/coworkers knowing that you have visited. What are everybody's favorite work-safe sites? One of mine: Exit Mundi

How can something that can be measured, bent, and stopped not exist?
