Well, that's Brazil's problem, not mine.

Somebody had to say it.

I thought that too, but then the "fly's back" part of the comment doesn't make sense...

Whatever turns you on...

Well, if you can forecast which users will do this in the future :P

True, but that's not a "nutty activity" either...

Now that might be the nutty activity to which hippie refers!

Um, still typo, I think :)

Oil is their resource to sell. If they decide to stop selling oil, they stop having income. Boy, that would show us. right. but, at the same time, they could jack up the price and if we refused to buy it, they could get by and out last us. that is what I meant. Iran cannot simply jack up the price ...

What do you mean when? I'd think that should be an if with some kind of FSM forbid clause attached. :D

Make your own gun now! (an article on how to make a $10 gun on Totse.com) This has to be the dumbest design I've ever seen in my life, and I'm not even a (true) guns expert. I mean, seriously; it doesn't fire a cartridge, it's just a miniature "flintlock wannabe" that can barely do any da...

I get the impression that at some of these places, it's strictly a Monday to Friday job :)

Ah, but they died on television.

There seems to be a connection between what you think of someone personally and what you think of their professional work sometimes. Maybe since Sid (?) was kicked out of Pink Floyd some people stopped liking them. Same sort of thing with Sammy Haggar and Van Halen. Quite possibly, but Syd Barrett ...

You and I should not go on a long road trip together :lol: What about Moody Blues? Their sound is kind of similar, and I could listen to Justin Hayward's voice all day. http://www.umop.net/smileys/hearteyes.gif Most excellent, until about 1981 or so. Do you know about the first Moody Blues album? T...

But IMHO, there was a remarkable downward trend in Pink Floyd music after Animals.

Lance got off on finding and posting a link where someone used logical inclusion rules to show that Fermi's paradox does not prove that there is no ETI. I followed the link. I don't know too much about Fermi's paradox, but if the characterization of the paradox at Lance 's link is correct, then the...

Actually, I'd disagree with them being the "most oppressed" group. I'd have to say that one of the most oppressed groups (outside of those that were subject to disease and genocide), have to be children. The most oppressed group of people in the world is the American middle class. I liste...

It's a bloody fatwa. "On February 16, 1568 a sentence of the Holy Office condemned all the inhabitants of the Netherlands to death as heretics. From this universal doom only a few persons, especially named, were acquitted. A proclamation of the king, dated ten days later, confirmed this decree...

The issue was how calculus was used to prove that Santa Clause just might exist. Okay, so you're saying that calculus can be used to prove stupid points. Cool, dismis calculus. What does that have to do with anything? Why would anyone need to use calculus to prove the possible existence of Santa Cl...

Interesting that you mention that umop - I think of you every time I hear the Diana Ross song on the radio - Which considering I have a 45 minute to hour 1/2 drive to work each way - It is more often than one might think.

"Wear clean underwear in case your in an accident." Never understood that one either. If I'm in an accident, clean underwear is going to be the least of my worries. Also, the people who work in emergency rooms, have seen things a lot worse than dirty underwear. There is also the chance th...
