The Lounge

I would like to make a statment. I beleive that earths future is going downhill. I mean, who is next in line to take control? At the moment the most powerful man in the world is George Bush. Am I the only one who is worried about that? And what of the future, it looks to me like the Neds/Jocks are going to inherit the earth anyway. I mean, the meek ain't gonna inherit shit.

I managed finally to get back into the chatroom!! I shall now be making guest appearances. Unfortunately time zones are a pain though.

hello folks...I'm having chat withdrawal....how sad am I???? how are you all? I'm having a shit time at work...nothing is working just now. Molecular Bio is such a pain...theory is marvellous....practice is something else!!! In addition...our daughter thinks it's acceptable to stay out till the wee small hours and not at least text us????....I could kick her arse big time and/or slap her. Anyway, I've rambled sufficiently I think...tell me how you all are doing....honest I'm NOT drunk....just pissed off.

Do Pixar movies come out in other countries too? SWIM DOWN!!!!!! On a side note, strawberries attract snakes: the mice eat the strawberries, the snakes eat the mice, SO BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU THROW YOUR STRAWBERRIES!

Right, lately whenever I try to go into the chat room, it says "sorry - unable to connect to server" or some such shit (sorry, I know it's shocking when oldies like me swear)!! Who's having a laugh at my expense...why is it telling me this and what is the problem. Answers on a postcard to me here at the science forums.

looks like faf found himself a job I guess we'll be seeing less of him for a bit (THANK GOODNESS!)

Your boys from http://www.anre.net/fo/ invaded our irc channel tonight

Having just found out that one of my fellow graduands has died I was a bit shell shocked. I was a mature student so she was a good bit younger than me and can only have been about 31 or so. It made me think about my own mortality and what legacy i'd like to leave behind. I'd like to known as a cool Mum (which my kids friends think I am but not my kids...haha), a not too shabby scientist and most importantly a person who made others feel good. I think I'm basically OK but in some ways I'm a doormat so that's the only thing I'd like to change.......what would the rest of you like to change or what would you like your legacy to be?

how long has this place been around?????? and how do you go up a level.

How many people agree with Scots taking over the earth then? I have three so far.

1) No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer, which only Santa has ever seen. 2) There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT because Santa doesn't (appear to) handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total -- 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each. 3) Santa has 31 hours of Ch…

what would happend if an unstopable object collided with an unmovable object?

I dont know the first thing about physics, thats why Im assuming this thread is in the wrong place. BUT a friend of mine was asking about the following question. I dont know the answer but couldnt think of a smarter bunch of folks to ask... so: A 2.40kg piece of wood (specific gravity = 0.50) floats on water. What minimum mass of steel, hung from it by a string, will cause it to sink? Any help is appreciated, but no obligations of course. Im sure you have better things to do then answer questions that wont benefit you.

Favourite character, episode? If anyone does not like the Simpsons shame on you!

Has the chatroom gone forever or is it just something I'm doing wrong? Did I mortally offend people and now I'm not allowed on it or did the maintenance thingy (sorry about the technical language) do something terminal? I have been "away" due to various commitments and now I'm bewildered.

I don't know....I turn my back for a few minutes and not only have you re-vamped the whole site but now I can't get into the chatroom!!! Is it me or is there a problem?

Yea, that took waayy longer than expected. I ended up having to update everything.

not much time, but does anyone have any idea for what I could do for a visual on my presentation on shock therapy? I'm covering insulin-shock therapy, electroconvulsive therapy and a few other methods (like Metrazol and malaria-fever) that either sent the patient into convulsions or otherwise helped cure the insane I suppose I could inject myself with Malaria but I'm not that kind of all-out person for school projects;)

Would this work? I noticed that water forms droplets, and that stuff can stick to water and all. I was thinking, if you ran a spray mist of water through some smoke, would the smoke stick to the water. If it did then you could attach this to a tail pipe or something of a vehicle emitting toxic fumes. Stuff like monoxcide could be broken down by platinum catalyst. Things like lead and stuff could be collected by the water and then as the water was collected after it was sprayed would be filtered(not very well). Then the water would go through another cycle and try to remove more air filth. If this idea worked and the water(since it sticks to stuff) if it…

http://www.mindfully.org/ Take a look, seems like an honest site.

hehe; I was flipping through the avatars today, and noticed alot of female avatars with alot of clothing...lol Who chose these avatars? faf? lol So is this what you do at 1:41 after you finish reading your physics articles?

best band to come out of europe, ever.

Pathetic. Their only selling point is that they're teenage lesbians.
