The Lounge

Is it just me or were there a bunch of threads and posts deleted? There was a bunch of active threads today and now they are all gone. They all say they were last posted yesterday. I KNOW there was a thread yt2095 made today about heat but it is gone...

Is it me or is the server running a little slower than it used to? I'm getting some errors too once in awhile...Anyone else?

The lizards are dancin', the gophers are singin' and your probably drunk. Whooo ha

Where is the best place to stay up to date on the latest scientific discovers and news for free. I know about sciencedirect.com but they are extremelly expensive $30 for a single journal. All help is appreciated

Is anyone in the UK actually watching this? I've never seen such a load of drivel in my life. They're trying to boost ratings by throwing in a load of completely mismatched people and generally making their life hell. Personally it makes me want to watch it even less. Perhaps they should come around to the fact that the show's idea is good at first, and after that it just becomes boring. 5 series of this is really starting to get on my nerves now

Can someone please move this if its in the wrong forum. Question:Could Archimedes really have used mirrors to set the roman ships on fire in Syracuse, 214 b,c ?

What's with mp3pm.com? Is there any reason that the songs cost like 3 cents?? I have itunes and it costs $1, is mp3pm.com for real?

I asked this question in the "Answer the previous question and ask the next poster a new one" thread, but I think it's interesting to see what people can come up with, so now you all have the opportunity to reply. When the time comes for you to die, how* would you most like to go out? * "I don't plan on dying" (or similar) is not a valid answer. "In bed with a beautiful man/woman" is cliché - we're going for originality here

So....what happened to the chat!!!....is it me???!!! Am I mad/stupid/terminally dim-witted??? Give me a break guys!....and here's an idea....when you have a problem why not send out a mass e-mail to tell us all? Is that a hard thing...like rocket science? Or am I just too hard to please? Go on...have a go at me...I can take it!!

Awe: An emotion of mingled reverence, dread, and wonder inspired by something majestic or sublime. Awesome: Inspiring awe, full of awe, of greatness Awful: Extremely bad or unpleasant, terrible horrible and dreadful So basically, if you have some awe, it is fantasic and good. But if you are full of awe, it is a horrible and bad. What gives?

I'd like to extend on the topic about ninjas and atinymonkey's interest in them. Can you please explain in detail why you are so fascinated about them?

Could someone post one? Those guys crack me up.

Does anyone else have a problem where threads are not flagged as "read" after you read them? Anyone know what may be causing this? So far we've eliminated cookies and "sessions" as the trouble, but I don't really know what else it could be? I forget what browser he said he uses. Any suggestions?

Toilet Paper Orientation, over the top, or from the bottom? I personally refuse to use a roll of toilet paper that rolls off from the bottom. The correct and responsible way is for the paper to roll off from the top. Please provide your opinions and theories. My assumption is that those whom prefer the bottom feed method are partially retarded and most likely right handed.

wooooooooooooo. free till the end of september. out of 6 exams, i have had only 1 utterly bad one. rest of them were good - excellent. have to clean up my room of all the scrap paper i used to practise. and finally eat something

I have had the most horrible virus/trojan/worm type probs on my PC so I'm using my lap-top for now. And when I logged in here, and tried to access the chat room, it wouldn't let me!! So can I just say "Hi guys" and I've missed chatting...let's hope I get it sorted someday soon.

damnit, never in my life have i ever imagined owning one of those rat dogs. but evidently my found found one she and my son liked, so now i'm stuck with a chiahuahua(sp?). and naturally i can't say no to them both anyway, i know that they tend to be pretty aggresive to strangers, but how are they to kids? this pup is only 8months or so and my son was pretty rough to him last night. so i wonder are these dogs pretty good with children? or do i need to get him through some heavy duty training??? any help is much appreciated.

How are you employed?

Hey all you brains out there... I've always found it hard to believe that them big, hunkin' dinos were ever able to move around with them massive bodies -- heck, my friend that weigh a good 250 lbs sweats all over the place and he don't even have any fur or nothin. I've heard guys say that it's because the dinosaurs probably had "light" bones like birds. Yeah, but a pound of meat is a pound of meat and that's a lot of steak covering them bones. I always wondered if Earth's gravity somehow has increased over the ages -- maybe a shower of comets drenched the earth and increased it's mass and gravity. Any thoughts? SM

CAn you tell me why will the temperature of the surface will be hotter at the top on the blub rathen than on the side? thank you
