  1. I'm guessing the OP has to take a urine drug test and wants to purify his urine.

  3. Snail, where'd you get the snowman? I'm working on a logo now - I'd like to use yours and touch it up a bit.. Softened the edges on yours a bit, Snail. If anyone has the skillz to add falling snow, please feel free to do so.
  4. lol, is that a bribe?
  5. Atomikpsycho is now the #4 search result. Keep it up!
  6. ahem
  7. The site colors have changed up top, it wouldn't match anymore.
  8. Maybe someone will make one HINT HINT
  9. It's not in the terms of service and it does make sense. Why not just stop visiting? Why the big stink? I turned off happy birthday emails. You can login and change your password and email address. Why not just take those steps and never come back?
  10. That's part of signing up and visiting the website -- you agree that we store the information you give us. She is more than welcome to login and change every detail so that the account can no longer be associated with her. But it is unreasonable to suggest that I should honor every request to delete specific information about someone that they gave us on registration.
  11. Seek professional counseling if you're worried.
  12. I turned off the vbulletin birthday email. We don't typically delete accounts.
  13. You have to spread out the links throughout the thread. The search engines pick up on multiple links like that and counts them as spam. Also helps to put random keywords around the the text. AtomikPsycho just got owned. OWNED.
  14. bahahahaha
  15. Not to mention the difficulty of planning (and getting approved) experiments that live, sick human beings.
  16. "It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong" "Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?" Both from Richard Feynman.
  17. ...unfortunately now they're ads for Ben Stein's "Expelled" pro-ID movie
  18. I love the "as soon as I have time to do it" qualifier. Classic.
  19. Edit: See this thread.
  20. Watching right now
  21. I'm looking for old-time (1930s-1950s) radio shows about either robots from space or robot killers, or something along those lines. Needs to be a radio show though. Just curious if anyone knows any off the top of their head. So far all I've been able to find is a story called "The Robot Killer" from an old sci-fi radio show titled "2000 plus".

    Omg!

    ...thanks for the clarification
  23. ROFL YT, I love it. Can't believe your daughter is so old already!
  24. They've been at the center of a lot of controversy regarding free speech. They routinely show up at soldier's funerals holding signs saying "Thank God for IEDs". This led to a number of places passing ordinances requiring or increasing the minimum distance between a protest and a funeral. It also led to the formation of the motorcycle group "Patriot Guard Riders". At the request of families, they park themselves between Phelps' crew and the funeral, raise american flags, and either turn on their bikes or sing patriotic songs. My personal opinion is that free speech trumps all. It is a bit disconcerting that a group acting under the protection of the first amendment was slapped with such a monstrous judgment. This was a civil trial so I'm not sure what impact that has on the decision. While it is nice to see Phelps' crew slapped around a bit, it would have been much nicer had they received a karma-esque slapping rather than a questionable legal decision.
  25. http://edition.cnn.com/2007/US/law/10/31/funeral.protests.ap/index.html BALTIMORE, Maryland (AP) -- A grieving father won a nearly $11 million verdict Wednesday against a fundamentalist Kansas church that pickets military funerals in the belief that the war in Iraq is a punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality. Albert Snyder of York, Pennsylvania, sued the Westboro Baptist Church for unspecified damages after members demonstrated at the March 2006 funeral of his son, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, who was killed in Iraq. The jury first awarded $2.9 million in compensatory damages. It returned later in the afternoon with its decision to award $6 million in punitive damages for invasion of privacy and $2 million for causing emotional distress. Some people feel justice was served, others feel it was unfair because it punishes what should be protected speech. What say ye, forum? (In case you don't know who Phelps his, check out the wiki page on Westboro Baptist Church)
