Someone negged me for saying someone negged me.

:chuckle:


Soooo tempting to neg rep you, just so you can say "someone neg repped me for saying that someone neg repped me for saying..." oh you get the picture.

But I don't neg rep, so there goes that idea. :laff:

A young nun goes to her Mother Superior, "Mother Superior, I have sinned". "What is it my dear" replies the Mother Superior.
"I used a curse word Mother Superior" she confesses.
"Sit down dear and tell me all about it".
They sit down and the young nun begins.
"Well, yesterday I played golf. I lined up my tee shot on the first hole. I hit it well and it went sailing through the air. After a short ways through the air, it started to veer right and ended up landing in the trees".
The Mother Superior leans forward and says "Is that when you cursed?"
"Oh no. I grabbed my pitching wedge and hit the ball out of the rough. It went round the trees and landed right in front of the green, in the middle of a bunker."
The Mother Superior leans forward and says "Is that when you cursed?"
"Oh no" the young nun replies. "I pulled out my sand wedge and chipped the ball out and it ended up four inches from the hole".
The Mother Superior leans forward and says "You missed the fucking putt didn't you?"


PS Keep 'em coming Baldy.

Don't defend Aquaman. Lamest. Superhero. Evar.


Actually, according to here http://www.maximonline.com/articles/index.aspx?a_id=5276, he is only the second lamest ever.

And after doing a little research (not a lot I admit, I do have a life) there are some pretty lame ones out there. Arm Fall Off Boy anyone? The Gay Ghost perchance? I am not making those up either.

Perhaps we should start a new thread on this....then again.

Or Aquaman. God he's useless. WITH THE POWERS OF A FISH!


Quote from: Wiki
Aquaman had the ability to breathe underwater and superhuman strength enabling him to swim at high speeds. He was also shown to have the ability to communicate with sea-life and have them do his bidding.

It goes on to say...
Quote
By the late 1950s, Aquaman's ability to talk with fish had been expanded to full-fledged telepathic communication with sea creatures even from great distances.


Not entirely useless, especially with global warming.

I find it hilarious that America is fine attacking a country with imaginary weapons of mass destruction for the safety of us all, but wont stop something which could potentially destroy the universe.


Erm....it's being built in Switzerland. And the chances of it destroying the universe are pretty darn slim (so close to zero as to be vitually indistinguishable from it).

Quote from: LHC Machine Outreach
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)  is being built in a circular tunnel 27 km in circumference. The tunnel is buried around 50 to 175 m. underground. It straddles the Swiss and French borders on the outskirts of Geneva


In fact, the Americans are envious as hell as it will be a lot better that the accelerator at Fermilab (which is American).

For all the geeks out there (and I count myself among them):

http://lhc.web.cern.ch/lhc/

One surprising fact:
Quote from: LHC FAQ
The cost of the accelerator only (without experiments and computing) but including manpower and material is 4.7 Billion CHF (that's around 3.03 billion euros)

I thought it would be more.


Anyhoo, back on topic. I have no motivational images, but you others, keep them coming.

Quote from: dirtyape;578777
Or maybe, seeing as how time is really a 4th spacial dimension that is perceived as moving forwards only by the biological brain's design, and is in fact static, then perhaps such phenomena as psychic communication with the dead is really the biological brain communicating through time to the mind of the dead person. It has been said that the first way we will achieve time travel will be via thought alone. Perhaps psychics have this ability.


I read recently that just as space has multiple dimensions, they think that time may be multi-dimensional as well. I always wondered why they hadn't considered that earlier. They are quite keen to say 10 spatial dimensions and one time dimension are needed to make string theory possible. Why not apply the multi-dimensional framework to time as well?

All that will help bring quantum and classical physics together. If they are right, then a TOE may be closer than they thought (although that's been said sooooo many times over the past 110 years).

BTW, I thought it was also the level of entropy mseasured that distunguished one point in time with another. Not just the biological function within the brain. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Quote from: Bounty Hunter;577315
cant wait for the particle accelerator at CERN to fire up next year...


Mini black holes, here they come. Cool! They may even be able to detect the Higgs Boson, known by many scientists as the God Particle. (nice segue to the topic at hand)

After reading some of the posts here, I find it is a rather unwinnable discussion. "Why?" do you ask. Because people seem to think it is either religion or science. Those on the pro-religion side tend to be a little more accepting that science has answered some questions that seem to contradict what is written in the Bible. However, if we are to call this a Religion V Science thread, people have to remember that the Bible is but one part of religion. There is also the Quran (sp?), the Talmet etc. Also, they all tend to have been written a long time ago when science was basically unheard of. It was also written by humans. Those fallible creatures who can quite easily misinterpret what was meant, deliberately write up their view of something to suit their own argument (The Old Testament was written to keep the locals in line while the New Testament is mostly peoples accounts of what they heard someone else saw. And THEN, high ranking church officials decided which bits to leave in and which bits to leave out). Anyway, let's face it, we laugh at science books of a hundred years ago, so it is only natural that some people are going to laugh at a book that is a 1000 years old (or older). People who are religious, are not going to be swayed by some science for a couple of reasons. One: Science is not infallable. Theories change constantly, are revised etc. I mean, I heard last year that even Einsteins theory of general relativity may need some tweaking. There is no reason why science and religion cannot actually work side by side. The trouble with religion is man's interpretation of what was right and what is wrong (the source of most wars until now). There is a strong case to answer that religion is not some deep seated psychological need by humans to find meaning in their own existence and to placate the fear of death. There is also a strong case for the scientists to answer why the universe is the way it is, because a shit load of stuff had to be just right for us to be standing on this rock we call earth. The four basic forces had to be spot on, the conditions for a habitable planet had to be just right. The coming together of the right protein strands had to happen in the right way or we would never have evolved. The big bang (or inflation, whichever they decide upon) had to start somehow. Two: Religion is about faith, and no logic in the universe is going to change that.

Is it not possible that there is a God AND that the scientists are generally on the right track to explaining the universe? I love science, I believe a lot of it is accurate, but I also believe it is not going to be able to answer every question....ever. There has to be room for some faith. Is that because I have a deep seated psychological need to find meaning in my own existence? I'll conceded that is it possible. But it doesn't feel right to me that we are here by pure random chance (once again, I'll conceded it might be psychological needs).




And before people start asking "If God exists, why does He let bad things happen to people?", don't ask me. I do not have answers, only more questions.
