Seriously, what the hell was the great biologist in the sky thinking? Why is it we feel this ridiclious need to be around people in the vain hope that it'll somehow promote the continuation of our species? And then we just wind up beating ourselves up because we are upsetting people by being stupid! That sucks. The human race is increasing in number quite happily by itself without my help so why can't I just sit in a cave and draw pictures without all this goddamned emotion? Why should ugly people feel lonely? It's not fair.

Hello everyone.... i'm DJ'ing a small stargazing party being hosted by my local rotary club and i was wondering if you all know of any songs that mention stars, astronomy, or space as i thought it would be cool to play a lot of them while we are looking through a massive telescope in the middle of nowhere texas. It's for kids 15-19 so hopefully you all know of some stuff they would like. Here is what i have thought of so far. (I'm tryin to keep it pretty chill so no death metal about "the sky is falling") Artist - Song Our Lady Peace - Somewhere Out There James Blunt - High Train - Drops of Jupiter Hum - Stars Coldplay - Yellow The Tornados - Telstar Our L…

I was wondering if it was possible for color blindness to either be prevented, of 'fixed up' using genetic engineering. Many thanks

Hi, I'm thinking about purchasing some super powerful magnets, something about the size of a 9V battery but strong enough to dam near break your fingers. I was wondering if anybody knows a reliable online shop which ships to Australia or anything in general about buying them. Thanks!

Is There Anyway To Control My Dreams At All.

In my school, I had a best friend (who is a girl), who is now no more my best friend... We were very close (but only as friends). One day I told her that I did infact love her (she said she didn't feel the same about me), and ever since then...we have not been the same. I already did know that she didn't love me that way, but I still had to tell her. I got taken over by this urge to tell her...and I don't know why.We had both professed our love for each other as best friends...and she even called me her "support and stability" once and I told her that I felt the same about her. But now all is lost.... Frankly, I don't care about my love for her as much as our frie…

I was quoted in this article on the BBC's web site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4923248.stm My quote is near the bottom of the article when I said, "I can't believe that this program wasn't completely tested before being released to thousands of people around the world". The quote comes from the third post at http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=4697

I was just thinking!! When the sun dies, there is no gravity to hold our planet in orbit. Wouldn’t it be cool to turn planet earth into a space ship like the Borg ship from star trek!!! Fit some propulsion system for control and a solid shelter around the earth so it can be navigated to the nearest star?? Do you think it’s possible?

Are there any US Armed Forces Scientist here? If so, how do you like your career thus far? Is it all that you've expected? I'm currently investigating options with the US Army, I am still waiting for a Medical Recruiter to contact me, so any insight I can get before then would be great!

I own something that is similar to a banner exchange. Therefore, I can see some information about lots of visitors from many different types of web sites. I was looking at the statistics, and they are very different than what I saw just a few months ago. A few months ago, about 75% of the visitors were using Internet Explorer, about 20% used Firefox, and about 5% used another browser. Here are today's stats:

Hi everyone, Since this is a science forum i just wanted to post this image of a drawing artist Justin Michael Jenkins saw in a dream. Notice the DNA patterns and coils of life and the inherent geometric patterns and shapes within a cosmic setting. I think it has a scientific feel to it. I hope you enjoy this (: The link is http://www.imaginativepencil.com/abstractp0550.html'>http://www.imaginativepencil.com/abstractp0550.html Thanks, Michael Retla http://www.imaginativepencil.com

World of warcraft is offline! i cant figure out what to do with my few hours between work and sleep.

I was just wondering about death and all and this thought came to my mind. What would you do if you knew you were gonna die real soon. I mean you knew the exact time and all?? How would you spend your last day??? Id spend the day with loved ones. Tell everyone I hate that I hate them. Confess everything to everyone. And spend all my money on something usefull. LIke a nice dinner party. Or gifts for someone i love.

Ok .. Can anyone name a program from which i can download stuff from my Motorola I930 for Nextel to my computer. P.S. sorry if posted in wrong forum.. but didnt know wher to post it.. anyways... please post it as soon as possible. And if you can give me the link to where you can download it from.

what is antiparticle? Where do they actually exist

Microsoft is going to be offering free domain names and free web hosting! Visit: http://officelive.microsoft.com/officelivebasic.aspx This is amazing! A domain name, 30MB of storage, 10GB of monthly bandwidth, and 5 e-mail accounts. I can't believe all of this is free! It's better than my current hosting company, and I'm paying about $175 a year for it. What do you all think?

Microsoft has a free toolbar for IE at: http://ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=f53eeee8-de38-45c8-bc6d-a4749e827cc5 I think this toolbar looks very impressive. It adds tabbed browsing to IE, and it has tons of other features.

Where is sayo? I havn't seen him in almost a year. Last I heared he was on trial for a ninja attack on a church.

Mine: 1) Decided to re-enact Fight Club with a few guys (i'm female) who were all 2+ years older than me 2) Set up a chain of trampolines with the aforementioned friends, that went like this: jump from the roof, onto the first trampoline, onto a smaller trampoline, into the pool. Your turn.

monday, oprah is sending a camera crew to my school. apparently we are representative of the midwest. she is doing a show about drop out rates or something. Time magazine sent a reporter today.

I tried looking for a medical forums but couldn't really find any. I know I'm going to look back and see this as a stupid post but it seems pretty abnormal to me. I had blue balls, you know, and after like twenty minuits my right testicle was fine. I have blue balls all the time and it's normally not that big a deal. Half an hour, most of the time, and it goes away. But my left testicle has continued to hurt -- over two hours after it started (the pain is also in my lower left abdomen). It doesn't hurt as bad as it did originally, but it's been the same grade of pain for the past hour and doesn't seem to be getting any better. I looked on wikipedia, which say…

Hi all! Just wanted some opinions. Do casinos actally have the right to say card counting is cheating because I don't see it as cheating. If your simply counting numbers how can they say its cheating anymore then normal? I think its wrong ad think they do not have any right to tell card counters they can't count cards... The logic is correct, the rules do not specify its not allowed and your not using any decide to do the calculations for you so how can it be cheating? Opinions anyone? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Hi guys, I'm going to purchase an MP3 player and want it to look cool. After much thinking i've shortlisted the sony nw-e507 1gb player and the mobiblu cube 1gb. The main feature I want from the player is that it must act as a USB drive when connected, but it is OK if I need a software to load the songs (a la Sonicstage). Here's a scene: I go to my friends house to take an important file for presentation. Now, all I want to do is to connect the player and drag and drop the files.Some what like an iPod, meaning to listen songs you need the software, but to just copy files you can directly do it without any software. The mobiblu supports UMS i.e. drag-and-…
