You mean people who don't study advance mechanics. Plus, advanced mechanics doesn't help you describe physics. And aptitude only has the one p, if you going to be elitist spelling is a requirement.

Scientific research, specifically cloning, is not an important issue in the UK. Nobody gets worked up about it, but most people are aware of it through Dolly the sheep etc. Because it isn't an important issue it carries little political weight. If Tony Blair stood up in Parliament and proposed a ban of human cloning, he'd get blank looks. If Blair declared it was against God's will, he would be escorted from Parliament or silenced by the Speaker. In the UK, Politics and the Church are distinctly separate. Most American researchers of high caliber spend time in the UK anyway, at Oxbridge. Making an issue of cloning in America just reinforces the ability of the British to stay at the forefront of scientific progress. Honestly, who would choose to stay in a country that calls your work an abomination against Jeebus, if you could have a nice bursary in Oxford instead.

His name was Charles Hapgood, I don't think his theory of rapid earth crust displacement was ever really taken up, as techtonic activity is studied in far greater detail than Charles Hapgood managed. Seismology has had billions invested in it, and has advanced far beyond the theorys from the 1950's. Einstein didn't actually form the theory, he just showed an interest in it. As he failed Geography and History, his credentials in that area are not that high. Personally, I find the maps intriguing as they do indeed show a good approximation of the land mass that is hidden. But I have to ask about the origin, as other maps from the period it is clamed to be from were very vauge. The Buache map was created from a 'found' map in 1873 (Piri Re'is) which was conincidentally the time when the poles were being fully explored. It all seems a bit like a fake map and a whole heap of wishfull thinking.

Actually, it was:- Jordan - Wasn't that atm's old avatar? alt f13 - 'twas Sayonara³ -No, it was atm's. Me -No, it was mine. Hahahaha. My insert was for comedy value, continuing the dispute of positive affirmation. I found it funny. I tend to post comedy to amuse myself, really. It's the opposite of the spammy LOL / types. I never spend much time considering the interpretation of my humour. TBH, the post's you think will crack people up rarely make anyone laugh more than yourself.

No, it was mine. Hahahaha. I dropped it as it was the only moving avatar at the time. I guessed it was distracting people, it draws the eye away from the text thread. Jakiri's just hypnotizes people. Which is where he is at the moment, with his army of minions under his evil thrall.

My resort would be Valmorel in the French Alps. It's a traditional village, blended with modern art and contemporary construction techniques that earn it a place as one of the top beauty spots in Europe. During the winter months if you get up at 5am, before anyone else is even awake, and trek out to a secluded valley you can see a 200ft frozen waterfall. As the sun rises, the light is reflected along the snow by the shape of the valley and hits the waterfall from all angles creating one of the most incredible sights your ever likely to see. The waterfall appears to be made of diamonds as water start to drip off from the heat of the sunrise, sparkles like tiny falling stars appear when the drops fall to the ground. Then it's a three hour ski down wide flat pistes, where you can get speed up to 60/70 Kph with little effort. It wakes you up, with a gentle start to the day, and a chalet at the base sells fantastic hot chocolate to set you up for the next run. It's 8am by that time, and there is still no other soul on the slopes for another hour. http://www.valmorel.com I'm not sure there is anywhere else on the planet that can match that experience.

Recent studies suggest people who don't reference the Discovery channel are stoopid. All the popular scientists agree, and are on the Discovery channel daily to impartially explain this.

You 'doubt' that, Mr 'a bunch of romans and perhaps plato'? Genghis Kahn was the most effective exponent of imperialistic expansion in history, his campaign against Japan caused the feudal society to adapt resulting in the definition of the Shogun and the creation of a imperial military structure in Japan. The foundation of the imperial Japan has nothing whatsoever to do with Karl Marx, Frederic* Engels or Thomas More. Thomas More in particular did not include aggressive military might in his definition of a Utopian culture, he when so far as to say war was a last resort. Neither Karl Marx nor Frederic Engels had even the slightest impact on Japanese culture, the comments made by both about colonialism and imperialism in capitalist countries supporting an expanding economy did not apply to Japan, a feudal society with no colonies. * not Freiderich

I wonder where you think Crete and Thera are?

I think I know the food things your talking about, Scott Adams makes a version called the Dilberto. They look quite good, in a kind of novelty food way. Just for information, I am not aware of such a product existing in the UK. I don't think there is much of a market for that sort of thing. Quick food in the UK kitchen runs along the lines of baked beans on toast, tomato soup or the traditional cubed monkfish served in a champagne sauce garnished with kiwi fruit, with new potatoes on the side. We do have those pop tart things tho, they are quite neat. Mind you, people still don't buy them.

Along with a legion of Shogun and the Khans.

Bizarrely, I can check that.

Sorry, I didn't realize thy forum threads were sacrosanct. As, literally, the people who need to know this cannot see it I didn't see the problem in light mockey. Obviously, there is a problem with that. Just delete the posts, rather than defending teh ego.

I don't know, perhaps emailing regular members who don't appear after a while. I still found it funny 'If you can't see this, do this' you can't kill my humour, spaceboy.

*cough* of course, you realise the irony of posting that in the forum?

Oh God. I'm keeping my eye on you O_o

That doesn't mean anyone will let you, no matter how much you drink.

I haven't heard that story, I assumed that the death penalty was still in force in Iraq. I would have found it quite funny if Iraq had not installed the death penalty, imagine Bush's re-election campaign speech 'Not only have we ensured a democratic Iraq free from tyranny, it now actually protects more human rights than the US of A'.

Just out of interest, what do you medical type fellows do with your summer? I have a theory they encourage you to work in the medical feilds during summer, hematology labs and so on. Sayonara³ thinks you try and drink enough to forget everything you learnt last term, and return to school in the fall smelling of vomit.

Glass houses, throwing stones. How are the native Americans doing these days?

I've only seen one definition of VIP's, from the Fafamalone. VIP's are people with graduate degrees in a subject that are currently researching or lecturing in etc, or they are people who can provide a unique service to the site. They are not regular users, they probably would visit infrequently or even only once in the case of scientists who consent to give lectures or a QA thread. If Glider were not a Mod he would be a VIP, given his status in the real world scientific community. I'm not sure what unique abilitys they have. They have a name in green and I suspect they also have the ability to change there name. Other than that, they have one other super special skill that enables them to discuss stuff with Mods/Admins away from the masses.

I think plenty good, moon man . My high brain posts ease the voices in my ear, which sound so queer . I need go post more to make screaming stop.

Not really, the records are in the Timaeus and Critias dialogues if you fancy looking the up. They are conversations between Plato and Socrates, but do refer to specifics (the land mass being the least of the details). Plato was forming a discussion about the ideal society, so it's not even known if he was describing reality or setting a template of utopia for the purpose of discussion with his peers. The references are thought to be related to the Minoan civilization, the most prominent and wealthy civilisation in the time period, which was destroyed along with Crete and Thera (in the same disaster that probably caused the plagues described in the Old Testament) in a rather large volcanic explosion*. *Bigger than you are thinking** **Yes, I do know the size you are thinking of.

It's a number of short storys that deal with the problems the robots face in keeping to the laws, so yes. The problem of protecting humanity from itself is raised, and possible solutions put forward. It starts with early robots, and the develoment of the laws. For instance robots are allowed to hurt humans but not harm them, as one robot when a mite crazy when trying not to hurt peoples feelings.

I may be tired, but it looks like you are trying to point out the work 'diuretic' refers to the effect and not the cause. I don't see where anyone got that wrong. I also don't see my damn coffee. Where is my coffee?
