'Rather reactionary' Also known as the Panzer Pope : - http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=10557 A term Bascule created, that personally I'll be using from now on

Ohfortheloveofgod, the heat alone would cause the water to form vapour rapidly enough to cause an explosion. You simply can't transfer that much energy that quickly to water.

I disagree.

Are you seriously asking if we can store electricity, via lightning, in water?

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has just become Pope Benedict XVI. After days of deliberation the 115 Cardinals deliberating in the Sistine Chapel decided on Cardinal Ratzinger to head up the 1.1 Billion Catholics in the world today. The Cardinals, in a ceremony that dates over the 265 successions of Pope since St Peter, final issued the white smoke from the flue this afternoon at 5pm GMT. 'We gather together not to decide the next Pope, but to decide the preordained will of God' one Cardinal commented on exiting the deliberations, 'Once the proceedings got Goring, all we needed was a little Putsch in the right direction' another Cardinal didn't say. The new Pope has tended his flock for over 60 years, pausing only for a short period in Munich to serve the will of the Fuhrer by manning anti aircraft guns. Known as a hard liner, his anti abortion stance has raised a few eyebrows in the past, and his pro Nazi stance diminished in the wake of his acceptance speech where he may have reminded his flock of 'The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means to invoke through me a glorious 4th Reich for the Catholic Aryans' God bless our Pope Benedict XVI. The Pope of a brave new world, so wholesome I could almost weep with joy. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4445279.stm

Oh God. Dave's unholy Chopper Challange skills are back. For some reason I can't help but try and beat him.

Huzza's, hook it up to my jetpack and we'll fire off down to Rio. Smoke me a kipper, we'll be back for breakfast!

I thought we agreed just to control you. Why are you out of your box, anyway?

They will, however, charge you for the service. This is true of any alien who needs medical attention without insurance. No country a tourist can visit will set aside funds for non residents. It's why all people who travel are normally legally obliged to take travel insurance, and why some countries will refuse entry without it.

I believe morality stems from Humanity. I think that the claim that it comes from religion is a false claim, as morality has existed since humanity became self aware. Morals, as we perceive them, are necessary facets of human psychology that allow interaction between people. Without morals or values, humanity would not have managed to struggle along until some guy with a religious bent came up with an Idol to worship. History shows that the pagan morals were highly structured before the ideas of Gods were introduced to the mix, and I feel this is indicitive of the nature of humanity. Whatever you do to harm the least of us, harms us all:- No man is an Iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. ~ John Donne Of course, but definitions are difficult to achieve. What George Bush Snr sees as right, civilian insurgents in Iraq see as wrong. Personally I see any harm, physical or emotional, as wrong. However the world dos not work in a way that allows people to always be in the right. Because I am me, and I make my decisions based on my experience. Although I lean towards the views of people I agree with, at the end of the day any decision I make as to the right or the wrong thing in any situation is my own.

Ah, you are mistaking me for the 19c American railroad tycoons and settlers. I'm actually English, and have very little impact on historical territory disputes. I think you are confusing cause and effect. Overpopulation did not cause the American settlers to oust the native Americans, nor was overpopulation the reason that Settlers came to America in the first place. The main reasons the events happened is lodged in humanity's greed, the desire to accumulate and prosper. People took the land because they wanted it, and they had to power to take it. Mankind's capacity for violence and need to gardener power is omnipresent in all society's, and it's not linked to population. Take Kane and Able, one had a wife the other wished to possess and he killed to gain it. It's a story that repeats itself through history. The base wants and desires drive humanity, we are no more complex than that.

It's a turn of phrase. A way of structuring a sentence. I was making a joke about your request for VB license, I did this my extrapolating your request to become a simple request for money. Oh, the japery.

Pithy. Thanks. Tell you what, for a bit of a laugh you tell me how overpopulation leads directly to crime.

No it's not, you gibbering fool.

I see. So either: - You read the answer but didn't understand it You didn't read the answer, but you think that you've guessed it well enough to comment Great. Thanks.

Oh. This again. The joy. I pick the hidden 3rd option, which by a stroke of luck is the one all of humanity uses.

I doubt that very, very, very, much.

Why not just say 'there is no answer' and save everybodys time? I loath people who post puzzles with no answer.

And yet, nobody will give you $80.

Alright, try and visualize the human imagination.

As humans cannot comprehend infinity, that might be an endless task.

Are you talking about the limits of matter to form objects and tools, by whatever process?
