I hope I don't get slapped for a "me too" post, but you did a good thing. You did an honorable thing. You deserve the recognition and kudos that you're receiving for your actions. Way to go...

Congratulations Ireland Wales get their arses kicked Don't mind saying that was a nail biting last ten minutes, it got too bloody close for comfort. Nevertheless the wishes of the Irish and English prevailed (no sodding way were we going to root for the smegging Welsh of all people) and Ireland get...

There's a new show called "Lie to Me." I don't know how much actual science goes into it, but it's fascinating. For example, they will talk about a facial expression and what it means, then cut to commercial, but before going to commercial they'll flash pictures of world leaders caught wi...

I lived in Texas and went to A&M, it seemed as if half the fish in my company came from the sticks. OK, Lonestar. You just told me you're an Aggie (asuming you graduated from Texas A&M. Me, it was 4 1/2 years of post-graduate work at Texas Tech). And everyone knows that Aggies are a bit &qu...

Never heard of the magazine, so I went to the website and poked around for a while, read some articles, and then I found a quote that I think sums up what I had been reading: We are a global network of culture jammers and creatives working to change the way information flows, the way corporations wi...

Yep, Stephen F. Austin got smoked by Syracuse. Good luck to Arizona State when they meet Syracuse.

I Googled "pastor Craig Gross" and turned up several links, for those who are curious and want more info. And here's an article about the Jeremy v. Gross debate at Northeastern University. Article. It seems like more circus than substance. Last Thursday, Ron Jeremy, the world’s biggest por...

How accurate is the Hank Hill stereotype of Texan pride? He bases his entire sense of self-worth on mindless conformism to a broad-ranging set of mandated behavioural and cultural stereotypes. Obviously it's a comedic exaggeration, but if there is any kind of substance to the unspoken accusation bu...

Question: Is the "Cthluhu" referenced in the title of this thread supposed to be the "Cthulhu" of H.P. Lovercraft's horror stories? If it is, then I understand the reference, if not, then I haven't got a clue.

OK. I'm rooting for Texas, Texas A&M, and Stephen F. Austin. And I don't think Texas stands a chance getting past Duke. And Stephen F. Austin is going to get smoked like a cheap cigar by Syracuse. For those who care, here are the brackets.

To give some contrast from the other lawyers who have spoken up so far: American attorneys are licensed on a state-by-state basis; federal practice is done by individual districts and courts on top of state practice. Along with this, there are bar registration fees paid to the state supreme court, ...

I went looking for the full Vatican article, but only found similar articles to the one quoted. The Independent World. Believe it or not, the Vatican paper does not keep archives on the web. L'Osservatore Romano From everything I read, the Vatican is not "blaming" washing machines for wome...

....Additionally, a large percentage of the population lives in rural areas, unlike the rest of the country- in fact they have the largest amount in absolute terms compared to any other state. http://www.window.state.tx.us/specialrpt/tif/population.html I wouldn't consider a rural population of 17....

What are the bats going to eat when all the skeeters are gone? (Actually, bats don't eat all that many skeeters after all. Article. ) It warms the cockles of my heart to think that bats eat a couple hundred of the wretched little parasites every night. Bats, lasers, bug zappers---whatever the method...

This is nit picking, but somebody show me the proof that Texas buys the most text books in the nation. California's population is 36.8 million; Texas' population is 24.3 million. U.S. Census Population Estimates With 12 million more people, I would think that California buys the most text books in t...

I've got as much proof as you do of your assertion; The article you cite is only a meta-article, ie- it is not a study of any kind, but rather, a journalist's attempt to summarize his understanding of other studies. That is no more credible than anything that anyone else has pointed out here. He do...

Thank you. I will be extremely more cautious, and much more clear, the next time I make an attempt at humor. Lesson learned.

Perhaps that is why I have experienced so many Christians who so doggedly refuse to admit doubt. The kind of person who most strongly and publicly advertises his Christianity is also likely to be the kind of aggressive "doesn't know what introspection means" Christian that you're talking ...

Proof already posted, To begin, part of the "proof" that is "already posted" (not your own work, when I challenged you to back up your derisive statement with proof) is a non-scientific study by whomever based upon "241" responses of Japanese "pen-pals." 241 ...

OK. Although I intended my statement as humorous, no offense intended, I'll play ball. The fact is that the studies do not say anything about atheists. All right, I'm busted on that point. The article does not even mention atheists. I made a generalization and lumped atheists in with "those who...

Closely related to the Time article The Biology of Belief where the evidence is that people of faith live longer than non-believers. Imagine, the studies show that believers live longer than athiests. Not good news for the atheists on this board. Talk about irony: a fundie living longer than most o...

This article makes me think of the new Apple batteries I've heard about. Does anybody know about the technology Apple is using in its new laptops? Is it still Lithium Ion technology?
