It would be illegal to put them in the Cape Fear, paddlefish are not native to the Atlantic Coast of North America, they only occur in the Mississippi River and it's tributaries. Shit would hit the fan for sure if one was caught in the Cape Fear River! They'd trace it right to me since I am the only person with these fish in a private aquarium. You can't get by with anything these days... Paddlefish are supposed to be good eating but they are farmed for their eggs for Caviar. One fish can yield several pounds of eggs and at the going rate for caviar that is a lot of cash, lol.... The common name for these fish in some parts of the USA is spoonbill catfish, of course they are not catfish but they do have the slick scaleless skin of a catfish...

No one is trying to bash America rigney, the truth is the truth, I see no reason to try and slant the truth to make America look better than it is either. I love my country but I have open eyes to it's flaws as well as it's solid good points. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged Now that's not the way it works and you should know that...

You need to pony up some evidence of this, so far you fail on everything.

65%? Do you have any back up on that? 65% seems to be a very high figure.

Who says the movement is regular?

I have no problem with the death penalty as long as it's for the crime of murder and it isn't used in circumstantial cases. I have areal problem with circumstantial evidence, just because I had motive and opportunity doesn't make me guilty No wait not me, the guy on trial, yeah he did it, that's the ticket!

I never have primitive sex, I only do advanced techniques

Then you must be one of those poor souls being mislead by the devil

Compared to 200 years ago modern medicine is miraculous beyond belief, what are they conspiring to do? Keep us all healthy?

I've been told by a group of Christians that all real Christians are creationists, the rest are being deluded by the devil and his sciences....

Seriously rigney, I've heard this argument all my life, we give till it hurts, we can't afford it any more, no one else will do it but we do, no one sacrafices like we do. it's not a new concept and it's just as easily answered now as it always has been, Can we afford not to? Can we afford to ignore the rest of the world? Can we afford to allow the rest of the world to fall into chaos? Only if we want to fight the whole world and even we cannot afford to do that...

He doesn't care anything about the facts IA, no man is as blind as he who will not see....

I'm not sure what you are getting at here, I've known many women who had no interest in children but still had a normal sex drive. I've also known men who were crazy about the idea of having children (myself included). There are so many facets to this question I'm not sure it can be answered as simply as your question seems to indicate. Biological drives are present in humans, the need for sex is a big part of why people have children, the lions share of children are born more due to the drive to have sex than an actual drive to have children. Children are a by product of the sex drive Humans can and do choose to have sex but not have children all the time. It is also true that a womans sex drive is higher when they are most fertile during their monthly ovulation cycle. Of course they have a word for a woman who uses her monthly cycle to keep from having a child... pregnant

An air impact wrench is a torque wrench that uses compressed air to power the wrench, your engine vaguely resembles the working parts of the wrench. i wish i could see your engine in action but i can't watch videos with my computer... How large would you envision your engine to be? Is it noisy? If it works as advertised and is very small it screams potential for sure, could be very useful. i can see the engine hooked to a small water pump or compressor or generator, a small bottle of propane like you use to power a lantern as fuel, lots of potential uses for sure....

The paddlefish are still doing well, i have become enthralled with them, so very cool as fish go, they are beginning to develop some real personality and are very active. to see a short video of the paddlefish go here... http://www.facebook.com/michael.hissom#!/video/video.php?v=1372520187046

You engine reminds me of the insides of an air impact wrench for some reason

Um... why am I attracted to breasts? Because they are attached to women!?

How does moving Rheid cancel the idea of earth quakes? Earth quakes occur in the crust, the moving tectonic plates is what generates earth quakes in the ridgid crust... Do you have thing to back this up other than your opinions? You are still assuming things to be true that just aren't, who says the tectonic plates move in a uniform fashion? Why not? Again you are using the term magma incorrectly, magma does not originate in the mantle, magma forms in the crust. You first...

While everyone is entitled to an opinion the fact remains that astronomy predates the Catholic church by 1000's of years. observation of the planets and stars was going on all over the world and was already quite advanced by the time the Catholic Church came about. If anything the church suppressed knowledge of the stars instead of advancing it... As far as the perceived stability of the solar system we do not live long enough to see major changes but in the past there is reason to believe there were lots of shake ups, probably major shake ups with proto planets being ejected and orbits changing. It is also quite possible for it to happen again and it probably will but these changes are generally quite slow form our prespecitve... The comet hitting Jupiter was quite show and unusual from the perspective of short lived beings like us but over the life of the solar system such things happen routinely. Rigney, what do you mean by a new star over Bethlehem? There have been super nova in historical times but they do not occur over a city and no where else. Either the star of Bethlehem was mythical, made up, a conjunction of planets or it was supernatural, there is no evidence a new star suddenly appeared over a small town in the middle east...

GF you are misusing the term magma to begin with, the earths mantle is a very thick almost plastic liquid that does indeed rise and spread out under the crust and the friction of this spreading is what causes the earths crust to move as in plate tectonics. Magma, the stuff from volcanoes is often very runny liquid rock, it originates from the earths crust, it is so fluid because it contain far more in the way of more volatile elements than the material of the earths mantle. magma only forms in the earths crust where it is not subjected to the extreme pressure of the mantle. Until you see the difference between magma from volcanoes and the material in the mantle there is no way to understand geophysics... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma The Earths mantle is not magma it is a Rheid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthenosphere

Gentleman-farmer, you main problem here would appear to be your belief that there are absolutes, the core of the earth is mainly iron but not absolutely iron, there is reason to believe the core of the earth is not quite pure iron. It has impurities, many of them are heavier than iron and radioactive. Here are a few examples of some possibilities that do indeed account for the heat of the earth. Some are less likely than others but the gist of the idea is that the core of the earth is indeed radioactive and emits enormous amounts of heat that cause mantle materials to rise and spread and this action drives plate tectonics with is a good thing for us because if not the earth would be quite dead both geologically and much less hospitable to life as we know it... http://geology.about.com/od/wildgeotheories/a/nuclearcore.htm http://www.spacedaily.com/news/earth-03k.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_of_the_Earth http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2003/12/10_heat.shtml http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=why-is-the-earths-core-so http://www.physorg.com/news62952904.html The amount of knowledge that can be gleaned but searching google is amazing!

So far I have not even mentioned a stellar core, you brought it up totally out of context, you were they only person who said anything about a dead stellar core compared to a neutron start and the two cannot be compared to each other... My contention is a small object will always cool faster than a large object all things being equal. Let it be if you want but it won't change reality...

That's not a bad idea but for me the idea of a plant that has fruit that contains meat is more elegant Break open a coconut like fruit and inside is a large chunk of a specific meat, it could hang on the plant until harvested and have a long shelf life as well... Well at least in my mind...

I understand the emission of neutrinos is the main way energy is dissipated but my point keeps being ignored. I see the bogus idea that a large object cools faster than a small object being repeated over and over on this forum, from shrews and elephants to neutron stars. The truth is that a small object will always cool faster than a large object of similar density. A small object has more surface area per unit of volume than a large object, that is simply a fact, it applies to neutron stars and rocks, shrews and elephants, and humans. The cube square law is the basis for this... let me put it this way, if you had a ball of neutronium 1 meter across it would cool far faster than a sphere of neutronium 10 kilometers across....
