The obvious hole in this theory is the recent evidence that light actually slows over distance. Wasn't there a big, long thread on this in here somewhere?

For some odd reason these statements strike me as borderline insightful; I'm completely serious. I'll get back to you once I figure out why. :)

Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but doesn't this mean parking spaces need to be at least twice as wide? And what happens when someone else parks on the edge of your turntable? You ain't going anywhere, is what.

Yeah, since hanging out here I have noticed quite a few people posting under various usernames. Plenty of unconfirmed theories about other users as well. Although trading is a poker game and some people think schizophrenia is fun, it sure does unnecessarily cloud the issue on who to trust (not...

I've been thinking about this ever since you posted it a few days ago in hopes of identifying a clear answer. I'm pushing 40 too, and I recall a few years ago when some said to me, "...but you like staying in shape..." and my response was, "Actually, no, but I enjoy being in shape." What I like...

For the most part I must admit I agree with your point, because I have an idea anyone maintaining an Atkins diet once they lose the weight they intend is probably in for a rude awakening once it's over. And I agree fitness is a lifestyle rather than a dieting theory or something you magically...

I asked my wife if she had a ready copy of her thesis I could use for reference here. Suffice it to say we moved a number of months ago, and although our million boxes have dwindled to a more comfortable thousand, there's no telling where it is. Should it manifest I'll see what I can do about...

Here's a better alternative to a suppository or chemical laxitives. Will fix you right up :).

Hmm. About the the best I can explain this is that theology as a hobby sure leads a person along some interesting philosophical avenues, and the further you proceed, the more hazy the lines become. The curious thing about religion-oriented studies is that - for reasons I have yet to fully...

Having to backtrack into your post slightly... Oh... in reviewing this thread I doubt we're in any danger of derailing the topic more than it already has been. Let's just stay here :). So long as you are using the Bible as a cross-reference basis rather than a definitive source I see no harm...

Umm... mostly incorrect, although this is a common assumption. Most every Christian custom comes from European roots. There isn't a single rite or symbol in Catholicism you can't trace directly to an indigenous European religion that Christianity had to absorb in order to gain political...

Thassright buddy! I'm a regular Uncle Remus! lol

This is pretty much where I go with it (admittedly for far different reasons - most of the religiuous ones don't wash with me). When I threw my sandwich in the garbage that day I wasn't about to rationalize which meat was "acceptable." I knew if I were quitting then this meant halting the...

First off, I find it remarkably interesting the directions this topic has taken since it began. Next, as many of you know, I have a meatless diet (I generally steer clear of the term "vegetarian" due to being wary of the label and tactics associated with the scene; some of this was addressed...

I took a moment and thought about it, and decided this is probably the most idiotic post I've seen on ET. Nice work.

Yes randy - we are all impressed by the conviction of your standpoint. Thanks for sharing, and have a nice day.

If you expect anyone here to regard this suggestion as anything besides a load of crap, I strongly suggest you post a reference. Sounds to me like a ploy to have a secret laugh at someone else's expense.

Yep - I'm known to tinker around in the kitchen every now and then. Especially since being on this diet I've had to get creative, because there are very few things you can just grab and eat. Years ago I actually considered becoming a professional chef, right up until I decided I'd hate it if I...
