When I started to try to strengthen my left hand, I switched a lot of habits. This including tapping the space bar with my left hand (among many other substantial habit shifts, naturally). I accomplished making this into a habit in less than three days of consciously doing it when I typed.

Still, even if they confiscated the tapes and shipped off all the debris as not to shock the people, what's the point in releasing a flagrant lie as an official statement?

I realize that the events preceding the collapses of WTC1 and 2 could be substantially explained away, but tied together with the incredibly ridiculous Pentagon story, it screams conspiracy. Did you know that the official explanation for why there was barely any debris and no sign of bodies at the crash site of the Pentagon was that the entire plane, bodies and all, vapourised? Also, the tape in which Osama Bin Laden allegedly admits to the crime did not even have Bin Laden in it. The person there was someone who looked a little bit like Bin Laden, but had a different skin tone, hair type, and handedness.

I would just like to point out that no "rebuttal" has been made against the outrageous claim that the Big Bang could not have created ordered galaxies because it is observed every day that explosions only end in disorder. I am willing to write this part of the letter. My answer would go something like this: It is true that explosions cause disorder, but since when is the universe that ordered? Say a building exploded in a vacuum, the debris would spread out arbitrarily, but there would still be clumps. And thusly, if these clumps were of large enough proportions gravity would act upon them and make them into swirled bodies with a dense core, which is exactly what is seen in the universe today.

Aren't exploding black holes negentropic?
Kyrisch replied to SmallIsPower's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
I don't think you quite understood one of the points that was brought up here... Just as the growth of an individual ostensibly decreases entropy, it doesn't violate the second law of thermodynamics because it increases entropy around it more that it decreases it. Thusly, the transfer from radio waves to gamma rays increases entropy around it much more than entropy is decreased by the actual transition. -
From what I can sound out [i know how to read the Arabic alphabet but have no idea what the Hell the words mean ] it doesn't even rhyme... I guess we'll never know, will we?

Thanks guys. I also spoke with my AP Bio teacher and she said that they were probably referring to the rather violent methods of handedness conversation utilised by Catholic schools some forty years ago. I could see very easily how strapping a hand to the desk or plastering it or even just smacking it every time a teacher caught a student using it can be traumatising to the point where it can lead to such things as inferiority complexes.

The "buildings collapsed because of a fire" story is highly unlikely. Might I bring to your attention that if the buildings collapsed because of a fire they will be the first skyscrapers in modern history to do so? I fear I'm straying into the zone of opinion, but a lot of people say the buildings looked like they were being demolished, the orderly manner in which they fell. Secondary and tertiary explosions were also reported in the lobby of the towers right before they collapsed, as if bombs were planted.

How much Protection do I need/How do I make it go faster?
Kyrisch replied to -Demosthenes-'s topic in Computer Help
I would suggest reading over your topic titles once more before posting and spotting the implications.... -
I'm entirely sure it was much more eloquent... I ran into a similar problem during a "favourite song-sharing" activity during English. My favourite song, being compelled by languages, was in German, and the song sounded terrible in English but was amazing in German.

I'm learned ambidextor and I was bored one day so I wanted to see what the internet had to say about the subject. Thusly, I came across this: http://www.linkshaender-beratung.de/english/Ambidextrous.htm. Does anyone have anything to say about this? Have I permanently damaged myself? I'm actually pretty worried...

Good and Evil as POVs I'm Penumbra... And I need help. I'm out of evidence! He's even starting to make me believe his point of view! Apparently, he is a much better debater than I... I do not want this thread to turn into a debate; if you want to share your views, do it on the other forum. However, I am interested if you have any pointers about what I did wrong.

How many times can you fold a piece of paper?
Kyrisch replied to Rincewind SW's topic in Other Sciences
Yeah, I know; I read that thread after re-posting the question... Sorry. -
But that doesn't count because you're a three dimensional object and so you will always occupy the area around this said point, the southern-most point of the earth.

"The Sum of the Parts May Be Greater Than the Whole"
Kyrisch replied to Kyrisch's topic in Linear Algebra and Group Theory
oh sorry, I posted it again on another thread, and then read this now... just kindly ignore the other request thanks. -
How many times can you fold a piece of paper?
Kyrisch replied to Rincewind SW's topic in Other Sciences
It never says fold it in half... I think that's the trick. And, I ask again, what does your sig mean? -
er yeah, sorry, I mixed up my examples... A better, and more correct, example is how ice water will stay at a semi-constant temperature even if one keeps adding heat energy to it; the temperature will continue to stay semi-constant until all the ice has melted.

1 calorie, in response to Mart.

Also there is a debate because some elements are found in nature but only in insanely miniscule amounts. Like one element, the name has escaped me, is present on the earth but only about a teaspoon of it can be found in the entire planet.

Heat is not measured in Celsius/Fahrenheit; it is measured in calories. Temperature, something entirely separate but related, is measured in Celsius/Fahrenheit. Adding a half calorie of heat energy to a gram of water will not cause the temperature of that volume to change at all, due to water's high specific heat. The wavelengths and amplitudes of light waves are measured with distance measurements. And I think the brightness of light depends on the amplitude of the wave, in which case, theoretically, there is no limit.

I didn't think so... But the "oxidant" refers to that, doesn't it?

"The Sum of the Parts May Be Greater Than the Whole"
Kyrisch replied to Kyrisch's topic in Linear Algebra and Group Theory
But that really proves nothing that has to do with the raw values of 2, 2, and 5. -
"The Sum of the Parts May Be Greater Than the Whole"
Kyrisch replied to Kyrisch's topic in Linear Algebra and Group Theory
I'm only in Algebra 2, so that stuff up there doesn't make much sense to me, sorry. I'm taking calculus next year. Btw, what does your sig mean, Swansont? -
Does anyone find it even more disturbing that there were TODDLERS IN THE AUDIENCE?! Or maybe it's a KID'S THING?! WTF ARE THEY DOING OVER THERE IN THE FAR EAST?!
