    Scariest Moment

    Mating foxes do sound scary though! I just remembered a particularly scary moment as a child. It was my first big holiday abroad to corfu, and late one night me and my brother were awoken by the loudest crashing/smashing noise outside in the shrubs, which from memory looked like bamboo. So we...

    Weird Photo at York Minster

    Looking simply and with my amateur photographers' hat on, it looks out of focus so is closer to the camera, looking at the left side of the organ there is nothing of that size of which light can reflect off, and the up-down elongation suggests it's falling down or flying up. I suppose that...

    Scariest Moment

    A few years ago whilst taking a late evening stroll along a nearby road (typically miles from anywhere and all that) that is very narrow with quite scrubby hedgerows either side. As was my want, I stopped for a moment to light up, and _right_ beside me about 3 feet away there was a...

    The Horror Channel

    Just skipping through sky a few minutes ago I noticed a new channel that caught my eye - The Horror Channel. You can find it's blue screen of death on channel 330, in the gulf between sky sports and TCM (whatever that is). It promises: - I hope they don't use all the good stuff in the...

    It seems that some of you still don't get it. Now, before I start treating you all like children I'd strongly urge you all to calm down, stop being so bloody argumentative, and respect each others opinions. We wouldn't want the thread locked, would we?

    The Gaia Hypothesis

    My interpretation is somewhat similar to that outlined by Connor; it's a nice eco-friendly take on gestaltism, that the earth is more than just a bunch of rocks and people, but TBH that's purely anthropomorphism. Either that or we need to define what an organism actually is, but that's...

    Black Holes

    AFAIK, as the space-time compression at the star/blackhole manifold would be arbitrarily large enough to negate any initial velocity or trajectory differential. Size or mass or the star wouldn't be a problem either. However, the temporal problems would be interesting as an observer would see...

    Enough. Ersby has every right to feel slighted at Lucianarchy's post when he/she can't defend their position, so I say to Lucianarchy, leave off. We, and the folks over at JREF both realise this is both unhelpful and counterproductive; they have their bailiwick, and we ours. Cross-message...

    Genetic Variation and Parthenogenic Beasties

    Shit, lost a post AGAIN IIRC Parthenogenesis occurs in species with a higher gene count, so when mitosis occurs there is a greater diversity after the second cell split I suppose there does come a point of reaching diminishing returns, but I'd guess as there would be a quadrillion...
