Animorphidite Parasite The Invasion by Derrick Roberts My name is Jake. For the past 2 years I've been captive to a being known as Visser 9009. This is a Yeerk, nasty creature dozens of years from Earth with their technology. They travelled here in the bodies of other aleins they enslaved. Visuals from his homeworld often leak over into my mind. I remember my first few days of slavery vividly.

Hi I need to use excel or any type of spreadsheet to calculate my work hours. In other words I need to calculate how many hours did I work. Anyway I used excel in one square I write the time that I begin, like for example 5:30, in other square I write the time I finished to work like 14:00. Now what function can I used that it will calculate that time that I worked in hour unit. So that in the case of the example it will give me 8.5 hours. Thanks for the help.

NEVER MIND i figured it out

There are 6 billion people on the planet that say: A Supernatural Force Exists Eternally or I'm not sure. or I am sure that no SF exists. Some say there are one billion "non-religious" individuals living on our planet. Less that 1/6 say "I'm not sure" and "I am sure that no SF exists." "For after all what is man in nature? A nothing in relation to infinity, all in relation to nothing. A central point in between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either." -Blaise Pascal We exist and that is something all at SFTHE ORIGINAL can admit. There seems to be reason and rhyme to the universe. Humans have personality an…

Why was this innocent childrens story removed by a MOD? Richard Dawkins dozed peacefully off at the park while walking his dog Nygel. He wakes angrily. He spins around and looks in the direction of the noise. Richard Dawkins walks over and stands in front of the man. The stranger nods as a sort of greeting to him. "Jesus is alive and one day he's going to return" continues the stranger. "when He does every one that ever existed will be judged according to their deeds in the body." "The saints hearts will be filled with everlasting joy!" "The enemies of our Lord Jesus will have their hearts crushed and there e…

I have a totally new business idea for the service industry. I’ve identified a need and found a way to satisfy that need. It involves a part-time Personal Assistant (provided by me) taking over and managing certain activities* in my client’s life for a period of approximately 13 weeks (X as many clients as I can generate). The clients would be drawn from a base of people sharing these same activities. If it makes it any easier for you to understand, you can call these activities “their daughter’s wedding.” It isn’t this, but the illustration may help you. *The idea could make me a fortune. So you’ll appreciate why I’m keeping the exact details to myself. …

Im sorry if I am posting in the wrong forum, I dont mean to offend anyone

Hey! I'm Marvin. I am new here. I enjoy tell story and I working at a book store as a operation manager I like to know which book you want to read?

...from a chemical engineer if I just get a degree in chemistry instead? I saw that chemical engineers are the highest paid college major, and it got me wondering. http://education-portal.com/articles/Top_10_Paying_College_Majors.html Of course I will still be pursuing chemistry and not engineering, but it would be interesting to know. I know the type of job that someone with a chemistry degree gets compared to a chemical engineer differs, but how would this affect pay? Lets say I get a BS in chemistry, go to grad school and get a PhD. Now what? For chem engineers job choice is obvious, but what does a chemist do? If I go into industry won't I be at a dis…

Hello all While speaking to a friend yesterday I discovered he is a devout Christian and a biology teacher. I was raised an atheist and still consider myself so. What I would be interested in is what proportion of the scientists out there adhere to any of the religions. Leading on from that is which of the religions accomodates scientific advancment most, or are they all the same? Personnaly I cannot see how a devout Christian can believe in evolution but claim that the bible is the word of god. But that's my opinion. I don't want this thread to be seen as inciting any trouble. I am just interested how religious scientists balance what I see as contradicting…

Before i begin my story, this thread is dedicated to bringing up and hopefully solving the issue of so many odd things that seem to serve absolutely no purpose but seem to have been evolutionarily selected to be widespread. Story Time! I was sitting on IRC talking to total strangers in a karaoke channel I decided to stumble into and someone was talking about how amazingly hot their (more than likely fictitious) girlfriend is. Said person then went on in some detail about how sexy said phantom girl's back dimples are. Back dimples in case you don't know just means you have (for lack of a better discription) dimples in your lower back. I was about to pounce in on this …

If I told you that my eyes can act as a natural microscope. I am very near-sited which means that I cannot see a thing within 5-10 feet. But my eyes have a unique trait that allow them to focus-in and de-focus, which allows me to see things such as my eyelashes at a very close up view which makes them transparent. You don't have to believe me, but what if this were possible? What sorts of things should this human be doing with this trait?

I am a high school student interested in molecular biology and genomics. My school doesn't offer courses in these subjects--most don't, I'm sure--and therefore I must educate myself. How do I go about doing this? Here is my thinking: I must assemble a syllabus, and several textbooks and workbooks to establish a firm foundation in cell biology, chemistry, genetics, etc., then work through them at a steady pace. If I run into difficult concepts or problems, I have several advisers who will readily assist me. Is this reasonable? If so, which books should I procure? I appreciate any and all advice.

For example we have the Baez crackpot index, as well as the list of criteria given by Siegel. I am sure other lists and indices exist. The ones quoted here are specific to modern physics, but most of the ideas would apply in all areas of science. Would it be interesting to apply this, or some SFN Crackpot-Quack index to the posts on this forum? Or even just try it with anything you write personally! Anyone want to highlight what they think qualifies as a Crackpot or Quack? Feel free to insert humour here. For me the biggest give away of a "Quack" is having no or little knowledge of understood and accepted theories.
