  1. update. there's a plastic something or other (can you tell im good with cars?) at the left edge of my radiator, which is the side with the broken fan, and when it gets hot a little crack shows up and starts spraying boiling water. my coolant level drops at a rate that would make me think it would be empty in half an hour or so, and it over heats in about 5 minutes : P i think i might be calling in today. do i need a new radiator?
  2. the thermometer on my car has never budged above the middle line, even when i drove it across the country. this morning it started to overheat on a 5 minute drive through town. i pulled over to find a smoking (steaming?) radiator and an empty coolant tank. i poured in a bottle of water i had, waited for it to cool off and drove the rest of the way home. it was still gradually overheating so i took another look at it, to see if i could find more problems or if it just needed more than a bottle of water, and i discover that one of the two fans on my radiator doesnt spin. so... if i just pump it full of water can i get it to limp the way to my job about 20 minutes away on the freeway, or will i throroughly destroy my car by doing that? obviously i need to do something to fix it, but i have work at 1pm today and no one who could give me a ride.
  3. west. (can i cash in my weekly brainfart on this one?)
  4. what would be really impressive is if you could do it without the nurse.
  5. i think the situation applies to each generation, both when you old folks were the young ones, and probably again when i join the aged wise and my children are snotty. from the other side, i think old people can be aholes a lot of the time. yes, they are older and probably wiser than me, but im neither stupid nor useless. i have a mind and im capable of using it, id appreciate it if when i express a reasonable thought you could counter it with your wisdom instead of laughing like a jackass and patting me on the back while looking down your nose at me. /end rant
  6. there was a jewish guy at my highschool (im sure there were many, but there was one that i talked to in any way relevant to religion) from biology in freshman year to calculus as a senior i had many a conversation with him. sometimes about the standard things people talk about, but also a lot of conversations where he satisfied my curiosity about the jewish faith. he was one of the smartest and most friendly people i knew. and yes, what is it you would like to hear?
  7. you would have to swallow something that would expand faster than your body could respond by vomiting. i dont think it would have to be a bomb, but it would have to be more than your good ol baking soda and vinegar.
  8. how much do you need to know about the plays for all this to make sense? i think i know what you gutter minds are onto with 1, 2, and 4, but im lost on the rest.
  9. that seems like it would be more of a pain to remember each time than just being able to multiply two digit numbers in my head : P
  10. 1. jalepeno juice to the eye. 2. trying to chew with my wisdom teeth out, seeing how bad it could be without the vitamin V. 3. getting the holes from my wisdom teeth cleaned out after something got stuck in them. may favorite phrase was "no, the pain killer isnt working yet." took him 3 tries.
  11. and my post was meant to say that just because you assume thats how people are looking at something doesnt mean they actually are. no one said anything close to your statement. its like if i said hitler was a political genius and you came back with. "oh yeah, hitler was a great guy. he loved puppies and kittens and all the children of the world. he was a great humanitarian." no... thats not what i said. stop acting like it was. granted, bascules all caps statement about the firefighters of new york was completely worthless from a discussion point of view, he still didnt say anything about leaders being demigods. the other thing people seem to forget pretty much anytime it suits them, is that, just as their leaders arent superheros, they arent usually complete crooks either. they are people trying to do the best job they can with a very delicate situation. they screw up, they lie sometimes, and in general they try to serve the people. bush is not out to rob the country. bush is not sauron, we dont have absolute, simple evil in the real world. and my apologies, ill try to read ALL the new posts before i reply.
  12. its not the evidence that concerns me, its the sheer size of the operation. the number of people that would have to be involved in order to pull it off, and all of them would have to be ok with the idea of crashing US planes into US buildings where americans are working. your telling me everyone at every level of this plan was ok with it, never said a thing to anyone, it never got to the media or anyone outside the plan? there was no one who decided it was wrong to crash planes into occupied buildings and went and said something to the press? thats not even getting into the problem of what the motivation would be... there are better ways to get your country to go to war. have a soldier get "shot" in afghanistan. problem solved. but anyway... it doesnt even really matter whether people are open to the possibility. its about whether hes teaching students or recruiting them. i wouldnt let a fundamentalist teach theology. on the same line, it might be a bad idea to let this guy teach politics, but it depends whether he can leave his beliefs on this particular subject aside.
  13. i think hes a complete crackpot, and under no circumstances should he be allowed to present his beliefs in the form of an education. however, if the article said something about him presenting his beliefs in the classroom i missed it. if he can teach the curiculum and leave his personal beliefs out of it then let the man teach. as soon as tries to breed the next generation of conspiracy theorists, get him out of the school.
  14. im confused, what exactly does tidally locked mean? just that the same side would always be visible from the other? if so, would the earth still be rotating, just at the same rate that the moon is orbiting, or would they both be stationary, just orbiting the sun? btw, this: 4m is the most rediculous example of internet shorthand i have ever seen. the time it saves you, compared to the time it costs people on the other end to figure out what the bloody hell it means borders on rudeness. if you used it to mean "form" it would be a different story. : P
  15. since its impossible to represent the 10 dimensions in our world you have to find a way to express it by explaining one part and then simplifying it. they do it by suggesting that our 3 dimensional selves are merely points moving on a line called time. i think that part of the explanation was pretty accurate, as far as finding a way to express something you cant draw in its actual form. as for the rest of it, i dont know enough about the remaining 6 dimensions to say how accurate it was. i disagree with bettina because i dont think it would just be lines of varying length, you should also be able to tell how far away the line is, and therefore what shape it takes, assuming you had one eye above the other.
  16. offsides isnt just for passes, its anytime that player is in the path of the ball, im not sure how it would apply in that situation. aside from that, im pretty sure any action you take that is directed at moving a player instead of the ball is illegal, and that includes blocking. so if you are doing something where its clear that your not going for the ball, but you are interfering with a player thats a foul. you can block people, but you have to do it in a way that involves the ball, like having it in your possession and standing between it and the player is ok. getting in front of the other team and spreading your arms out to the side to give your teammate time to kick it is not.
  17. Soccer: 1 ball, 3 knees Wrestling: lets just say there is a move called "the nutcracker" and we practiced it.
  18. i always figured it was just for durability reasons. one swift kick and youve got a broken baculum. in their current forms our penises can take quite a beating without losing functionality. i didnt realize other mammals had one though : P
