He didn't seem to endorse the Soviet nuclear weapons project in "The Big Red Bomb" either.

Hold on...

(sound of 5-watt bulb sputtering above my head...)

...OH!!

The Making of the Atomic Bomb had a sequel, you mean.

I'll have to read it, thanks for letting me know it existed.

(sigh. one *more* task for my overburdened reading list.)

Cheers!

in reality it involves thousands of man-hours of painstaking work in labs using the most cutting-edge technology available, with adamant conclusions being drawn only after making completely sure, through multiple avenues of inquiry, that the data is solid

You do explain the ideal, but individual mileage may vary.

See for example John Darsee, Hwang Woo-Suk; and of course for waters muddied for a long time see David Baltimore.

For other sniping read Gary Taubes' Nobel Dreams about Carlo Rubbia...

Cheers!

Using "Answers in Guiness" as your basis for posting again?

Spellcheck is your friend.

And speaking of friends, please refrain from disparaging my favorite beer.

Cheers!

I guess thats about the retread accusation, well you sounded somewhat like CG.

You say you are not (and now the mod too) so thats good enough for me.

Take Care,

W.

[King Prout]

nicely done.

[King Prout]

that is what you call an apology?

do you recall the apology I rendered to you, without being prompted, upon realizing -on my own, mind you- that I had misread one of your posts and had gone off on you less justly than I had thought?

Do you need me to dig up the URL to that apology, or will you -in a sudden fit of real humility- admit that I did indeed make such an apology to you?

THAT, sir, was an apology.

You owe that much and more - to jaguarbhzrd, to andysandmikesmom, and to quite a few others here.

the kiss to the buttocks you gave to the Admin Mod after being slapped was more sincere than your "apology" to jaguarbhzrd, and that grotesquely obsequious smooch positively REEKED of C.Y.O.A.

many of those who support creationism/ID/platonism sadden me, puzzle me, and even irritate me... but almost none actually revolt me.

almost none.

Its the game called Prime collecting.
Here's how it goes.
You have to be quick.
So keep on your toes.
Press the mouse button down,
  set the browser address,
  watch the posts add up,
  but don't be slow.
'Cause for Prime collecting,
  you got to move real fast.
Move real fast!
Because Patrick Henry will show up
  before you can grab the last.
And that's Prime collecting!

[grey_whiskers]

Haven't seen you on these threads for many an age...

Hope all is well.

Cheers!

[King Prout]

all is... acceptable-to-well, thanks.
I trust all goes well with you and yours?

[King Prout]

rework it a skosh so you can set it to the "slinkie" jingle, and you might have an earworm

[grey_whiskers]

Fair-to-middlin', lad.

Thanks for asking.

But it is past my bedtime, so off to sleep I go...

G'night...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[King Prout]

yeah, same here. 'nite.

[Hoplite]

Damn. It's like writing "Cats" and being told to lose the animals and throw in a chandelier and an organ.

<sniff!>

[Thatcherite]

Mealy mouthed weasel excuse for an apology placemarker.

[Quark2005]

You do explain the ideal, but individual mileage may vary.

Oh, I agree, the process isn't perfect, but it's far better than the alternatives!

The way the system is set up, the 'bull' tends to iron itself out over time - the only question is how much time....

[PatrickHenry]

Neutral, non-offensive, non-apologetic placemarker.

[longshadow]

[ahayes]

Placemarker Placemarker Placemarker

[PatrickHenry]

Placemarker. Darwin Central directive: Switch to plan 7-b.

well, you know, all those Gilbert and Sullivan ditties sound alike.
