Phi for All

It depends. If he asks you for a couple of obols for a boat ride his name is Charon. Look for an oar instead of a scythe.

I can tell by your use of sentence case that you're getting smarter. Next you'll be using question marks and everything.

My input is that heaven is not observable by definition, therefore it can't be proved or disproved by scientific method.

New job, intelligence work, police supposedly, more likely MI6, licensed to kill, foreign agent, toys from Q branch, parachuting into broccoli plantations, infiltrate and eliminate, very hush-hush, that sort of thing. He told me exactly what he was doing once but there was a flash and now I can't remember. Seriously, he was on a couple months ago but he didn't want you to know, Nevermore. Says he owes you money or something.

Sure, set it up in General Discussion and lay out the rules. Sounds like fun, lol. This thread is for adding new fora to the site.

Hit the snooze but don't try to roll over, you could injure yourself.

I'm glad we got some "gold" out of the Willowtree... incident. God works in mysterious ways.

This is important time, but so is that last few minutes in bed. There is no time like that half-sleep / half-awake time just before waking fully. It can be the best nine minutes of your day. Each time the alarm goes off picture your employer standing over your bed telling you to get up, GET UP! Press the snooze, flip him the bird and think, "Not yet, you whip-cracking slave driver!" Sigh, smile and snooze for another nine. You've earned it.

We're social creatures and we learn by example, experimentation and experience. Some experiential learning comes from other people. You shouldn't be irritated when someone asks you for advice, unless you want them to stop coming to you. Why wouldn't you be happy that someone thinks you might have the answer to their problem? Even when someone "thinks" they know the answer it never hurts to check with other people. Insight is exponential when you aks the advice of others. I look at advice as a recommendation. Get all the recommendations you can about a problem and then make the most informed decision you can.

Is this ''TSOLKAS'S HOMEWORK''?

I've been bating my breath for quite some time now. This will help me win the lottery? Will I have to buy a ticket?

When working for someone else, you get up in the morning knowing it's THEIR time, so you want to delay it. The weekends are YOUR time and who wants to waste it sleeping? I was the same way and that's the rationale I always used when working for others. I guess it's part resentment, part sneakiness (legitimately stealing a little extra time for yourself) and partly asserting your minimal amount of authority. Embrace it, set your alarm nine minutes ahead so you can slap the snooze an extra time, revel in the fact that you're taking a bit of "you" time every morning before going to work for your employer.

I was thinking more along the lines of demonic possession. "Title Case Troll Banned From SFN After Claiming Earth Created In Six Days" the headlines would read. I'm beginning to think the same thing happened to Mokele. What if he's been possessed by the spirits of syntax252 and Willowtree? What if he comes back and starts posting "turn or burn" threads with lots of rolleyes smileys, hmmmm?

A yourdadonapogos / KFC / revprez hybrid, my worst nightmare. If you start preaching YEC you're out of here, pal!

And the existing Engineering forum can't cover that because...?

Sometimes infatuation is the goal and not the by-product. Why haven't you tried to get to know him better? Is he better in fantasy or in reality? Do you think you may already know the answer and feel it's better to leave it at infatuation? Infatuation is NEVER unfounded. It may be pointless or destructive or it may lead to friendship or deeper feelings but in any case it has a purpose, even if it's just a dreamy one.

These are secondhand accounts I've heard about, thus the "allegedly" in the title. I love your suggestion but I could NEVER be that evil... unless the checker gave me an attitude. Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of printer paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.

I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.

Mike T, everyone is puzzled as to what this thread is supposed to be about. Are you speculating about the future, do you think this is happening now, or are you just painting your own vision of what life would be like? Once again, your use of absolutes and generalities to describe mere possibilities really puts people off discussing things with you. You see everything as one way and you have already drawn your conclusions. Why should we bother discussing this with you? This sounds more like a tract that should be printed and handed out downtown to workers rushing by on their lunch hour. Why do you come here if not to debate?

That's actually what we call IMM in the Mod forum, your "Omnipotent Omniscient Omnibenevolent Highness". The first time I saw her I went, "Oooh!"

I think naivite is remembered accurately in reverse proportion to our age. What are you, like, a hundred?

Anosmia, and those who have it are anosmic. I believe it covers smell and taste.

This is the guy from What the Bleep Do We Know?. I don't think he has enough of his studies verified or peer reviewed to merit more than pseudoscience at this point.

An elderly couple walked into a fast food restaurant. The old man ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half and placed one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them kept looking over and whispering. You could tell they were thinking, "That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them." As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything. The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. Again the old man said, "No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything." As the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man looked at the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked "What is it you are waiting for?" She smiled widely and said, "The teeth."
