die

Apparently 40% of all baby albatross's die from eating plastic? Such as bottle caps or toothbrushes that 'look like food'(?) I find it very hard to believe that a bird would feed just anything to its chicks, just because it is brightly coloured. Can anyone verify...

I just made an ASL interpretation video of Georgres Brassens' song, but it seems to me to be something to keep in mind here. French: Mourir pour des idées Mourir pour des idé's, l'idée est excellente. Moi, j'ai failli mourir de ne l'avoir pas eu', Car tous ceux qui l'avaient, multitude...

National driver's license? Not here, buster! Some in NH would rather have to have a passport to travel out of state, than let the gubmint have this sort of control.

Well, he says he did. That brings up the question, did he have any "near death experiences"? If so, what? If not, can it be a bit of evidence to debunk NDE's? Of course, the important thing is that he wasn't completely dead. Thanks to modern medicine, he will be around for some time...

The Moussaoui trial is now considering the death penalty. I can't help, based on what I've heard, but to think that he is crazy...not just politically crazy, but actually certifiably crazy.\ Further, he wants the US to put him to death. So, why not really punish him? Call him and his ideas...

In Quantum superposition, the particle collapses the wavefuction into one state when observed? Is the particle real in two or more states at the same time, or is it in a state we don’t know until we observe.

A billion people will die from tobacco-related diseases such as cancer this century unless more are encouraged to quit, a UK expert warns. In the last century the death toll was about 100m, including 7m in Britain. Professor Sir Richard Peto told a cancer conference in Birmingham developing...

EUROPE - THY NAME IS COWARDICE (Commentary by Mathias Dapfner CEO, Axel Springer, AG) A few days ago Henry Broder wrote in Welt am Sonntag, "Europe - your family name is appeasement." It's a phrase you can't get out of your head because it's so terribly true. Appeasement cost millions of Jews...

I dont see how this guy can not get the death penalty. I cant imagine that all the people on death row have done worse things than Scotty. The guy killed his very preggy wife and unborn kid, then dumped them in the bay. No remorse and no real motive. What was the motive anyway? They would...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/4025293.stm A rather cruel trick, even for 14 year-olds. The intended lesson is valid, but you'd think it could have been easily made without the doomsday notice. I'm curious if there were skeptical students? When I was that age, a priest in my...

...how will you go? Do you want to be buried? Cremated? Do you want a church service? Burial at sea? Personally, I want to be buried under a tree. Preferably a big oak tree. With an ocean view. No ceremonies. Dig a hole, dump me, let me decompose ASAP. I thought about cremation, but I think I...

Could some forum member who reads German check Die Welt tomorrow to see if this story is accurate? This 'preview' story is by AFP, supposedly. Does Die Welt actually report this tomorrow? Is Die Welt generally considered reliable? Sounds to me like we neocons have gotten to them. MattJ

Come on folks...Who'll croak first? They're all getting up there in years...Someone's gotta go first.

I kinda think it does. When we are young, we learn new things. We are always learning throughout our life. People have joked by saying that "no sooner do you get to know everything, and then you die". Sad, but on the track of being true. (Maybe not EVERYTHING..but you know what i mean.) We...

I love being a free thinking human being but right now, as I'm thinking about it for the first time - I don't think I'd lay down my life for my non-faith. When I was a fervent Christian I believed I would to save my soul. Anybody care to comment on that? I prefer the term wisdom to cowardice...
