Why would any loving God create something that would burden His creations? Vestigial wings on insects can't help them fly any better. Appendices no longer do their jobs, and are fatal at times. Vestigial legs have been found on both snakes (the reticulated python has claws protruding from its sides where legs should be) and prehistoric whales (Fossils have been found of prehistoric whales that had back limbs).

So it must have been pretty large to be used as a chair...

Achilles was dipped in the river Styx, and he became immortal and invulnerable except for his heel, which never came in contact with the magical liquid. If his weakness had never been revealed, he would have lived forever and not have been able to be killed.

Zero gravity and a vacuum are not the same thing. As long as oxygen is present, metal can rust, but in a vacuum, nothing is present, and therefore it is impossible for rust to occur. Remember that rust is simply the metal combusting at an extremely slow rate, and things need oxygen to combust.

Wait, is it like the immortality of Tolkein's Elves, (they live forever unless they're killed) or is it Achilles' immortality (You live forever and can't be killed)?

Ooh. Deja vu. Why does everyone feel the need to post the same question twice?

And if it was, the cylinder would implode.

The Cassini spacecraft has coasted to its closest encounter yet - skimming just 175 kilometres above Saturn's icy moon Enceladus. But astronomers are at a loss to explain its observations. On 14 July, Cassini swooped in for an unprecedented close-up view of the wrinkled moon. Its Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) camera has since returned pictures of a boulder-strewn landscape that is currently beyond explanation. The "boulders" appear to range between 10 and 20 metres in diameter in the highest-resolution images, which can resolve features just 4 m across...

How much centrifugal force is created by the Earth's rotation, if any? It is obviously not enough to counteract the Earth's gravity, and send us all flying into space, but is there still some acting on the bodies on the Earth?

Early on the morning of July 23, a fisherman from Ningbo City in east China's Zhejiang Province was shocked by the sight of a huge creature lying dead beside the seawall near his home... Picture and more here: http://www.china.org.cn/english/Life/136739.htm

(It helps if you hum the melody of "It's a Small World" while reading the following): It's a world of evil, a world of hate, It's a world of destruction, well ain't this great. With the planes which we ride, and the terrorists' suicides, It's a vile world after all... It's a vile world after all, It's a vile world after all, It's a vile world after all, It's a vile, vile world. It's a world of war and a world of strife. It's a world of people taking other people's life With the weapons that we make and the lives that we take It's a vile world after all... It's a vile world after all, It's a vile world after all, It's a vile world after all, It's a vile, vile world. It's a world of anger, a world of fear It's a world of anguish, a world of tears And not even them, whom preach goodness really can Live in perfect harmony... ---------------------------------------------------------- And now for the question: Do you think we, as a species, are ever going to stop? I'm sure you know what I mean. Btw, I wrote that song while standing in line for the actual ride with that maddening melody playing on a loop in the background. I decided to write something more truthful.

I'd want to live forever. Sure, you'd get lonely, but everyone would respect you, and you can see your own species evolve and change in front of your eyes. I'd have time to do everything I've ever wanted to do, and then do it all over again. To me, it would be a paradise. I know I'd detatch myself from the mortals, but who needs other people anyway?

Evolutionary change that extreme would take many, many more generations than that. Natural selection would speed it up considerably, but since those people "unfit" i.e. taller people with weaker skeletons wouldn't exactly die off, it would make it harder for the population of humans in the space station to evolve.

I understand fully, time could very well be an illusion created by the brain's system of documenting occurrances and pereceiving the world

I'm confused also because for something to be a wave, doesn't it need a material in which to travel? An ether? And since light crosses the vast distances of space with no ether, it can't exactly be a true wave, can it?

I've always wondered how light can be a wave and a particle simultaneously. I asked my uncle, who knows a lot about physics, and he couldn't answer my question directly. He said it is sometimes useful to show light as a particle and other times it is more convenient to represent light as a wave, depending on the topic and what one is trying to prove. However, this does not answer my question.

I always wondered how one could ever make theories about time, seeing as our brains are the ones perceiving our world, and we don't know how much they distort our surroundings. I bet you didn't know that your brain slows down your perception of time every time you move your eyes to refocus on something. In reality, your eyesight is blurry while the lenses in your eye refocus, but you brain doesn't want your conscious mind to perceive this so it holds on to the moment before you moved your eyes and drags it into the space of time when your eyes are refocussing. When the image is clear once more, it snaps back to "real" time. Since our brain is constantly distorting our perception of our environment, how will we ever know how time works? In my opinion, it takes a higher life form to fully understand a lower one, so we will not ever be able to fully understand how our own minds work, and so we will never truly know what strange forces act upon us.

"CaN ThOU BeAr ThAt BaRb In ThY BaCK?" Longest sentence I found so far

Isn't IQ Intelligence Quotient, meaning the potential you have of being smart, and not the knowledge you already posses? Therefore education would have no effect on IQs. If the tests that are given favour those with higher educations, they are faulty, are they not? You are wrong. People without appendices have been born in this world, and that is basically upon what I based my argument.

Isn't the skin of a human hand not entirely neutral in charge?

My IQ is 177, according to various online tests (which I don't trust all that much).

See the other two movies, they're just as awesome

No, it stops after its fuel runs out.

Cube Zero (Has anyone seen it? It's the third movie in the cube trilogy, and at the end you realize it was the prequel... kind of like Star Wars) The man with the false eye and the cane... the best villain ever.
