We already know from other threads that what you write is utter bullshit. Frankly you´re a disgrace to geologists. I would urge you to stay off this website and keep to peddling your wares on your own homepage.

Not confusion as such, more to do with how you classify things. If they saw them as small hairy humans instead of a different species, the word pygmy might have been reasonable enough. The latin name for orangutans also uses the name pygmy.

I´m on another board, where people ask questions about pretty much everything. One woman came on and wanted advice on her husband, who she had caught kissing some other woman on Second Life. What I found interesting was they had apparently done swinging, where the rule was no kissing. So the...

Other that having an idea of how many planets will be out there, I´m not sure it really expands much on Drake´s equation. Is there any particular reason they didn´t run a scenario where life has difficulty to arise AND evolve?

I found it. How to age brandy with 15.000 volts. http://www.formandreform.com/wordpress/?p=188

I do remember on another forum someone saying that running a current through a brandy can artificially age it and make it taste better. I have no idea what processes are involved though, and if it works on other beverages. Besides, the design of this thing doesn´t make it sound like it does...

""I reckon something the size and weight of a cow would do it," Dale Vince of energy firm Ecotricity told BBC Radio 4's Today programme." I reckon some cows in the area have been feeding of the GM crops and mutated to have wings. One of them then accidentally flew into the windmill. Seems...

This guys visual cortex may have been damaged, but perhaps his brain is rewiring seeing as visual stimuli are apparently still being sent to his brain. I want to know if he can still navigate that obstacle course while being blindfolded.

A lot better than just buying carbon credits.

That should get the manga lovers rather worried.

How long before we see one of the Sailor Moon characters charged with bigamy? Also can you only get married to humanoid cartoon characters, or could you get away with marrying a pokemon?

Resonance from seismic or sound waves?

I don´t suppose it was for WKD, sounds like the kind of ad they might run.

Would be bad if you ended up having to pay alimony to a comic character.

Recently on there news there was a man who apparently had stolen money from drug dealers. To get him to come out of hiding they kidnapped his grandchild. His grandchild´s last name was Puffinburger. :?

I don´t know fish number 2, which looks really remarkable. However the first one is from a deep sea expedition, which along with other fish were claimed in e-mails to have been washed up by the recent tsunami. http://www.snopes.com/photos/tsunami/creature.asp

They needed to set some form of date and chose that. They could have chosen year zero, but when dating things from medieval times it would sound stupid saying they are +1300 years old. They could also just choose the time that was the present for each measurement, but that would just get very...

Is this because large breasts would work as dual airbags in case of accidents?

It may have been a hoax, but surely the creature itself was real. I doubt he made it out of paper mache. So where is it now?

I can understand passing on urban legend warnings, a woman at my company send on the story about a date rape drug that will make you sterile. However the chain e-mails that threaten you with bizarre things, how superstitious do you have to be to believe in such crap?

Why, what were they getting up to in those movies? Getting manicures?

Well it´s been known for years that the vikings were quite sophisticated but that article makes them sound like a bunch of metrosexuals.

I know the story of the DeLoy expedition itself. It just seems odd that you don´t hear more about attempts to find this creature, wether ape or monkey. I guess sightings might have been very rare since.

I think it´s surprising how little follow up there has been on this. Even if not an ape, it would still be interesting to find out more about them.

Funny, I was just attending a lecture yesterday which was about fossil meteorites. There´s very few known fossil meteorites, and about 90% of them have been found in Sweden about 10 miles from where I´m sitting. The lecture was essentially about finding the traces of meteorites in sediments...

I´m not one of those who claims race doesn´t exist, but I still don´t see how aboriginals would fit into the category of the white race. Seems an odd notion, all PC-ness aside.

I watched the second episode the other day, not an improvement on anything. At least the one playing the daughter is from Denmark, that´s a bit interesting. To me the big question was, how come a street prostitute knew the location of this facility, as well as knowing exactly which place...

When is the musical being made? They seem to be making musicals of everything, surely they will of this as well.

Well I admit this was from a not very credible paper. However I´m not going to assume a conspiracy untill there´s evidence for that.

Only when they reach a corner as I recall.

I just read a report that Haider was doing 142 km/h in a 70km/hour zone when he was killed.

I just watched the pilot, and I would have to agree that it seemed nothing out of the ordinary. The computer graphics was quite bad in places, but I think they admitted that they have quite a low budget. Having Tapping from Stargate in it, I couldn´t help but compare the Zimmerman character to...

I thought there would be a nice little Kipling story about it.

I remember seeing a drawing of a beached shark, which had what appears to be legs at the back. Considering the shark was out of the water and the general realistic look of the shark, it seems odd if it was just artistic license.

Bruises are essentially sub-dermal bleeding. I wouldn´t think getting blood through the skin would then be that big a step.

Parody shows will have a field day with those giant letters hanging around the place.

Sounds like it could be interesting enough, I hope it wont be disappointing like Eureka was. I like the look of Heyerdahls character, he looks odd without looking unhuman.

I find it odd how recent news stories make it seems people find asexuality surprising. We all start out that way untill we change, it seems perfectly likely that in some people the trigger never happens. After all sexuality seems able to go wrong in much more complicated ways.

So you want to teach him about distinguishing the factual and the unlikely, and then have him do prayers and magic charms?

Tell him that Mario will keep him safe from Tails.

I just watched the first episode and didn´t feel that impressed. The characters didn´t really interest me, though I found the third act turn was really the only interesting thing happening. There was no real explanation to how the "incident" happened or worked. If this is anything like Lost, I...

Well something like pcp would explain the strength and lack of worry about pain. At least neither had long red pigtails. I´m wondering why the one convicted of assault only spent one day in prison.

It might also be enough sending one squad car I´d imagine. As for the original question, I think this is the problem with PC. Maybe what you said is offensive or stereotypical, but isn´t it more important wether it was actually wrong or not? If you said japanese are short. that would also be...

I must say that description of the sun really surprised me. Before that I thought you at least had some idea of how things work. However, I don´t suppose you could mention one experiment that has been done, which actually supports one of your claims.

Yep, they even got him on their money.

This sounds really good. Should be interesting to hear the results.

I am doing geology studies, and I dread those parties where people apparently lick each other on the cheek.

I´ve been quite close to some monitor lizards, which can get about 1½ meters long and live down there. It might have been those he encountered.

Cats?

How exactly were they known to be spooks? Did they use MI5 e-mail adresses?
