So, we all agree here that the report shows dinosaurs drank water. Super, good 'ol CNN. Groundbreaking.

Funny, I thought being a sesquipedalianist meant you’re an 'ist' taped onto a real word.

It shows that animals drink water, really.

JaKiri‘s advice is key; increase your vocab to expand your eloquence. That doesn’t mean nail a thesaurus to your hand or memorise random words for effect. You may have noticed that JaKiri has a consummate grasp of language. He can, and does, make complex points in one sentence. That skill comes from him reading a whalefull of books, and using the explicitly concise vocabulary at his disposal. If you learn to write in much the same way that you speak, your vocab will flow naturally. If you force it, it will look forced.

Yeh, I registered and browsed the forums. The massive sig's made the threads difficult to follow, and there was far too much flaming going on (in politics mostly) tbh. It made my sanity cry. I will pop on at some point, but not at the moment.

The site won't load, so I'll reply here. I'd skip joyfully past Darwin. The book was published in 1859, and your opponent is still trotting out the same phrases Thomas Henry Huxley did all those years back. To be involved in a discussion based around the merits of 'Theories of Evolution' is to find youself faced with the same blank denial Darwin was unable to overcome. Don’t get dragged further in. The one thing that ‘saved’ evolution, or rather put it beyond reasonable dispute, was Genetics. That wondrous double helix molecule contains the code that explains life, and its predecessors. Get him to explain away the genetic evidence of evolution, the information is only a google away. BTW, let ‘comanderofchaos’ know the plural of Legion is Legion. Legions is only a valid word if used when your talking about many groups of 5000 > 6000 Roman solders. Myriad is both singular and plural (as in Sheep, the plural is Sheep) putting the ‘s’ on the end is inane (i.e. look at those sheeps). Just for info, there was no roman legion of sheep. P.S. Webster’s 'dictionary' is the devil.

You don't know me *hic* nobody knows me.

Check the bbc website. And Sayonara Sticks and stones may break my bones but I'm Jesus!

It's on BBC 3, which I don't think is avalible outside the UK. You'll have to wait. Sorry.

Used to be 9.30 on tuesdays. You know, going to fu kung made you miss it.

I left a link on my first post, but here it is again Well, it's 9ish. That's sort of prime. Kind of. Almost.

I almost went for 'Family Guy' then I suddenly remembered Monkey Dust.

The American election campaigns are victims of there own devices. They try to appeal to the mass majority instead of preaching their own values. As Chamfort put it: - The system of election has dammed itself to regurgitating a set of beliefs dictated by opinion polls.

Incidentally, is this what caused the NY blackout? If it's how spare time is filled in the city, I can see the problems controlling the grid.

Black magic, he's a witch. BURN HIM!!

I've read it. What's your point? One author hinted at homosexuality? That is hardly representative of the entire annuls of human history. Did you also notice that the author was never overt with his subtext? That's what has helped the book stay fresh, that it didn't have trite like 'urg, look at the lesbians'.

It's not enough evidence. It could still run 18 k.m.p. . The prey it hunted were huge plant eaters, I'd like to see you get a diplodocus to evade a t-rex by outpacing it. The most viable theory is that a T-rex was both a predator and a scavenger.

Again Mugabe, Kim Il Sung, Milosevic and on and on. Worse, and less sanctioned by the US.

Like a pipe smoking mongoose

Great = fete Plate

Which is fine, so long as there are enough minor parties to rotate the top 2 spot every so often. Like poo in a barrel.

Yeh, the senate is overated too, they don't know what the people want anymore. What you need is a pick of two overlords, anything more than that and people start bitiching about 'rights' and 'freedoms'. The damn hippys.

Really? That's so sweet. Ah, in the olden days they all spoke American, King Arthur was ruler of all the lands and Jesus ran a detective agency with Hercules as his sidekick. Simpler times, which can be distilled into a few handy half hour episodes with plenty of swordfights and all the girls wearing armored bikinis.
