If I recall correctly, TOPEKA city council had a temporary name change to Google: http://www.pcworld.com/article/190601/topeka_thats_google_kansas_to_you.html The Google swap to Topeka was an April Fool's joke detailed at an ABC news link here...

I think you have the right to object and edit, Gene, you just need to contact the powers that be at Wiki. That bit about David would be called slander, wouldn't it? The piece about Coast to Coast as mentor, that is sheer idiocy.

Are we losing our freedom? don't be so afraid of health care. It doesn't bite. Think about all those folks out there who don't have cash for health care, think they give a damn if it is cash or medicare when they NEED health care? If we don't like what we get up here, and have the...

I think freedom is an illusion. We gave it away aeons ago, when we realised being truly free meant being completely responsible for our own actions, our own health, our own food, our own mistakes, our own choices: everything. It is so easy to give up that responsibility to someone else...

no good deed goes unpunished....

If you accept our co-habitants have been surfacing for millenia, you would think that some sort of evidence would show on or around the land egress after all that time; water reverts to its natural state once any force acting upon it is removed. (a bit longer for a tsunami, or in...

when you think of the water idea, it makes sense, ie, sooner or later a land entrance would be discovered, if only because of increased land use, surveying techniques improving, all kinds of reasons. put a large entrance/exit under water, and you can come and go as you please from there, and...

fasten your seatbelt.... enjoy, Mike!

Since none of us know exactly what caused the rift, perhaps it would be best if we kept our noses out of it and let the people involved decide when and if they want to be communicating. And that is said from experience and applies to those who think they know what happened, to those who are...

when you think of it, it is rather apropos, isn't it? extinction covers the maximum, wouldn't you say? :cool:

So sad retroactive account cancellations cannot be done... oh well.

Doesn't anyone else see how exciting this is? We are at a spot in history where we can actually witness the making of the emperor's new clothes!!!

People who are idiots, will be idiots no matter what they believe. It doesn't take religion to bring them out of the woodwork. as for the Jesus images, well, if there were no religious icons to use, these people might be seeing UFOs and ascribing them to ETs or big hairy creatures and saying...

By saying he forgot Obama was black for the duration of the speech Matthews impled (rightly or wrongly) that the rest of the time he is acutely conscious of the fact. That's disturbing. What normal person gives a shit about the so-called "race" of their politicians any more than their height...

okay, now I'm really jealous. All that, and Tom Swift, too... sigh.:(

YOU MET GREG BEAR!!!! that's far flippin' out, Schuyler. Only ever got into one of his novels, ages ago, but I thought he had staying power. and I like your database post, it makes sense. Maybe if we found actual values for the strings in string theory, we could figure out the coordinates...

och, aye.... computer, ON...

Political or technical or even monetary to my way of thinking, harm encompasses all that. To master something is to have complete control, and complete control to me means being able to affect each aspect of a 'thing'; when you can do that, it is up to you, the controller, what happens at...

But Schuyler, the key is the word "mastery". Leaving the reserves in the ground is not so much a decision of ours as it is a failure to remove it without causing harm. If we could remove it, safely, efficiently, cheaply, then we could say we have "mastery" over it as a resource. Because we...

That's no biggie. When I was about 16, I had lots of friends who did and saw that every weekend... think they called it 'sunshine'. some called it 'dot', others called it acid...
