From the BBC.... How sick! Michael Jackson should become a UNHCR staff member, a bowl of rice is sure cheaper than $25,000,000 in hush money. So, who polices the UN again? Oh yeah, the UN. :rolleyes: -z

Sit down and STFU, Ralph! http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20041111/ts_alt_afp/us_vote_nader

My guess would be creating fire. Not just creating fire, but creating fire when, and where, one wanted. Some people knew how to create fire, and many others did not. To the later, the controlled creation of fire might have been magic.

Kitten is babysitting three youngsters. She brought over Andrew Maynes DVD "Wizard School". Now she has three magicians performing really bad magic for her (and they entertain their parents too!). The ages are 3-7. I remember getting one of those cheesy magic trick kits as a child. I made...

Item: "A 79-year-old woman who stood in line outside a supermarket for more than five hours waiting for a flu shot collapsed and later died, the woman's daughter said. " http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041016/ap_on_re_us/flu_vaccine_death_3 The public is now in full panic over...

Recall the miracle of the loaves and fishes?

Was Clinton the first President to link Saddam with al Qaeda? Full Article

Lurch panics, and breaks long tradition by speaking during opponent's convention. He goes to Springfield Ohio (:D) for a midnight (:D) speech screeching at Bush and Cheney for being no-shows in Vietnam - appearing Howie Deanish. Remember Bush saying he thought Lurch's service was honorable...

I just did my usual check at http://news.google.com/ where I was stunned to see that there are no Iraq headlines anywhere on the front page. That must be the first time in months. I guess after Sadr backed down, things have been calming down a bit, aside from a few mortars, car bombs, and...

Wow, trying to read all that made my head hurt. It's kinda suspicious when people say you can't peek inside their devices. After all, what could you possibly find? Batteries? A hamster on a wheel? If they truly have a new invention the "lawer" would presumably require you to sign a...

I found the JREF forum after watching Penn and Teller's "Bulls**t" DVDs. I've been reading through, and found these threads to be very interesting and entertaining (particularly the one started by jambo) Anyway....I just happen to be off from work today, and have been watching Sci-Fi channel...

Steven Baldwin. Total tool. It pains me to think people are waiting on lists for organ donations. The only, the only, reason he can manage to come up with to support Bush is “Bush has more faith”. Not the economy, not jobs, not Saudi based terrorism, not the deficit, not social security...

Has this ever happened to anyone esle? Last week, I stopped at an ATM on the way home from work. There were a few people ahead of me, so I had to wait a little bit. The guy ahead of me was a well-dressed man in his mid to late 50s, and had too cheerful an attitude for my liking. Especially when...

I see the theory of myself and, independently, of Captain Alejandro Franz is back again (to explain the main incident of the Mexican Airforce UFO footage): http://www.randi.org/jr/080504string.html#11 Thanks to Patricio for putting forward that I seem to have been first to suggest what appears...

Some people in this forum seem to trip over such (seemingly) easy concepts... For example, some people (will not say who, you know) claim that science lacks definitions for some of it's base concepts. Particularly space, time, energy, and matter. I don't consider these such hard problems, nor...

This whole Saddam trial thing is really facinating me. Especially since hes being tried under Iraqi law for crimes he did while he was in charge. Legally speaking, wouldnt Saddam have some legit defenses? When he comes out saying " Im President of Iraq." isnt he technically right? Shoudlnt he...

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

For the first time ever, it looks like the UK ruling party (Labour, in this case) will come in third place in the local elections. Current projections are : Conservative : 38% Liberal Democrat : 30% Labour : 26% Not bad enough to cause Labour to lose the General Election I think, but an...

OK, you righties, be the first to explain to us why General Zinni is just another in a long line of traitorous book writers with an anti-Bush agenda. We know you're already working on the talking points; share them with us, we really want to know. Do it now, BEFORE Fox and Rush tell you why...

It just roared off the pad and flew into space, said private Rocket maker, in a quote that sounds like it should have come from The Onion. Good for them, although there was nobody aboard. It does sound perhaps a little tame compared to the things Burt Rutan's been getting up to.

Who do you think will arrive first?

When I was a kid, there was no question that the "women and children first in the lifeboats" attitude was correct. These days I suspect that a significant portion of the population would question the "women" part. On the otherhand I can see that an arguement could also be made that an adult...

This is so sad and stupid, it bears repeating. http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/4/222004c.asp Does anyone in this country understand anything?

Upon Renata’s request, I’m starting a thread on the poetry that some of us recited at Paltalk on April 2nd. I recited two poems by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, considered to be one of the best Brazilian poets of all time. It’s a household name, and despite everybody liking him (from the general...

link I only paraphrased the story a little and changed some punctuation for clarity.

Bought a used one just like this back in junior high. THose were the days.

This is very fascinating. Check it out: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/news/press/double_pulsar/

For those interesting check it out. I'll let you find all the "gems". http://www.rationalrevolution.net/special/dearborn_independent.htm I only have the first publication scanned in so far, more to follow though. I'll be putting pieces of my other books in my library on line soon as well...

Burt Rutan's "Scaled Composites" doing very well.
