Actually, the Babylonians discovered the zero (perhaps got it from India) and it subsequently appeared in the texts of some Greek philosophers (via Egypt) although not in a very prominent position. The Arabs used it well as they depended more on "advanced" math (eg, Algebra) to navigate the...

I disagree, this is not at all correct. The four Gospels agree on all significant points, while still being four independent accounts, four different perspectives -- two of them individual and the other two composite perspectives. Any little differences (like was it the day before Passover...

Idiot There once were three friends who were going to cross the Sahara Desert. The first one says, "meet here in an hour with something useful to cross the desert with!" An hour passes. The first guy says "I brought lots of water to keep us hydrated and our bodies cool." The second guy says...

New Drug Posted by Lucrum at the Jokes2 thread :) :) :)

Just to remember the good words that started this thread (which, unfortunately, became so convoluted, loud and tortured afterwards,) Orthodox Easter is this coming Sunday, the greatest Christian feast of the year. So, as they say in the old country, "Kalo Pascha" everyone! :)

Yes, little rat, you belong with Ron Paul, it is evident that you both dance to your own drummers - and I mean this as a compliment :)

Perhaps there should be an age limit for those who post this kind of garbage here... How old are you scriabinop? :) A totally biased and incomplete analysis from two liberal authors, clearly supporting Obama. For example, no allowance is made for the fact that tax cuts spur investment and...

It's very simple. GWB is our President because he proved that he was a lot smarter (or, in your system, a lot less of an idiot) than Gore and Kerry, the best (smartest) that the liberals could come up with. You seem to think that all Americans (the public) are idiots. Maybe that's true in...

Late 80s, when those stories about Sheik Achmed Something surfaced, why?

He (Cutten) sounds to me like one of those radicals you are referring to...

Whatever GWB is, everybody in Europe agrees that you guys are his lapdog! :) (Not that I enjoy teasing our friends the Brits, but you, Cutten, don't sound like a real one...)

Cutten Here's something right up your alley: American: "Hey friend, where are you from?" Brit (heavily accented): "I come from a place where we do not end our sentences with prepositions!" American: "OK -- where are you from, jackass?" :) :) :)

And Another "We have an economic problem," Barack Obama told a crowd in Pennsylvania, "and the way to handle it is--" "You're not wearing any pants!" someone in the crowd yelled out. "This is why I hate America!" Obama looked as angry as he was pantsless. "That has nothing to do with...

Hillary's First 100 Days (From IMAO) * Replace all the H-less White House computer keyboards. * Hostess that damn Pampered Chef party that Pelosi guilted her into. * Go out hunting, just like her grandfather showed her. * Shoot her eye out, just like her grandmother warned her. * Bake...

The children are the key to this investigation and prime target to protect. That's because they are the ones with all the information, in their minds and/or bodies, and they are the ones at greatest risk at the hands of the cult's adults. Therefore, they had to be secured first.

And Another One "I must have missed a fun debate last night, because the Daily Kos is in total freak out mode. They are now ready to direct all their impotent rage at ABC, and have declared Hillary a Republican. Then there's TalkLeft. Apparently it's all Hillary supporters, and they are...

From IMAO Again "Hamas, the terrorist organization and sometimes contributor to Obama's church's bulletin (not making that up, dude), has endorsed Barack Obama. I'm guessing, hearing that Obama associates with unrepentant terrorists made that an easy decision. Obama really needs to merge...

From IMAO "Keith Olbermann is quite outraged by the debate... and the hard questions asked Obama. Here's him explaining exactly what was wrong with it:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb-KiN-Woao :) :) :)

And for that reason, I don't want anyone here to think that I am a Republican! More like an Independent who happens to vote republican most of the time - actually, more like always, but who counts? :) No, seriously, many people are acting this way and for this reason, imo, current polls are...

Jay Leno Again: "New York Governor David Paterson's latest tax returns show that he gave $185 to charity. In contrast, previous Governor Eliot Spitzer gave thousands of dollars to charity... or, at least, I think her name was Charity... wasn't it?" :) :) :)
