I appear to be female Hey that's a bit cheeky! I'm a computer addict.. I'm just not a scientist so feel a bit intimidated posting here..

I am passing this on to you because it worked for me and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following the simple advice I heard on the radio yesterday, I have finally found inner peace. "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started but never finished." So, this morning, I looked around my house to see all the things I had started and hadn't finished and before leaving the house, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin, a packet of Jaffa cakes, the remainder of an old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos and a box of chocolates............ You have no idea how bl**dy good I feel!!!!

supercool

Wow.. this thread has flown.. have i created a monster?

the Harry Potter books certainly have a lot more literary worth than a lot of the absolute drivell out there.. Stuff that I wonder how it even gets published.. Mills & Boon anyone? I have read the Potter books but i also read other stuff from Dawkins to Dumas, Bryson and Austen etc. I think reading pretty much anything has value.. the Potter books are easy reading but fun and we all need a little light escapism sometimes..

I think most people who like sci-fi know that stuff but we are just used to our earthly prison and so things have to have that familiarity to them and the impact.. I t's like the Earth; we always see Earth with Europe at the top.. I'm sure if someone showed it the other way round someone would say it was upside-down

1veedo.. not sure how to do that...

I just wondered as Religion and Science see to be in a constant tussle to provide answers. So which side of the fence does everyone sit on? Can anyone truly sit in the middle? I am Atheist. I just trust in science .. it seems completely alien to me that people can take the Bible as true or believe in a supernatural being. Edit: I have added a poll to this thread. Please bear in mind that Elassarina is not asking you "please tell me your religious beliefs". There is an 'Other' option as a safety net, but I don't expect that anyone should really need it. Sayo.

In response to Wormwood, without our modern means though living a far simpler existence.. as we did 50,000 years ago etc can you seriously believe that humans will have got all the nutritional elements that are now deemed "necessary". Are we not just looking at it from a modern perspective? (p.s. I'm not a scientist so go easy..)

Thanks, just didn't want to do that on work's computer.. not that I think anyone else is likely to log into a science forum from my PC...

It's annoying having to keep logging in.. is there any way I can change this? I know I don't contribute much as it is..

It's no big deal, fleas can easily be gotten rid of.. don't panic! You can also get some stuff to put on the back of your dog's neck to make sure fleas don't come back.

A Physicist..? now you're talking A joke? Here goes: A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there was no afterlife. After a long life, the husband was the first to go, and true to his word he made contact, "Mary. Mary. are you there? "Is that you, Fred?" "Yes, I've come back like we agreed." "What's it like?" "Well, I get up in the morning, I have s*x, I have breakfast, then off to the golf course, I have s*x,I bathe in the sun, and then I have s*x again. I have lunch, another romp around the golf course,then s*x pretty much all afternoon. After supper, golf course again. Then have s*x until late at night. The next day it starts all over again." "Oh, Fred you surely must be in heaven." "Not exactly, I'm a rabbit in Suffolk". My joke killed the thread!

And I was going to vote for the one for "Jaws"...

Hello all.. I'm not a scientist but have had a growing interest in science for the last 10 years or so.. would love to dop a degree in physics if I had the money

Fool! Don't do it! lol

Oh hi ajb, so what do you do?

Not necessarily.. some women find those jokes funny.. at least I do anyway..

I have actually NEVER studied sciences or only at high school, my interest in them has developed gradually over about 7 years or so. I have considered the possibility of studying physcis but am not sure how I would manage with it. I hope my not being a scientist will not be held against me!!

I know there is an "Hello" thread but this is my first post so thought it polite to introduce myself. I'm a fan of all science but I especially love physics and evolutionary biology.
