I have been itching from an outbreak of shingles, and you have helped distract me from it.

That is the first instance I've ever seen of a positive benefit from creationism.

I'm glad that I could be of some benefit to the theory of natural selection. A small amount of your energy has been preserved, thereby helping to advance the js1138 species for a few more moments in the grand evolutionary scheme of things...

Another adertisement ;-)

Whatever you do, do not consult Dr. Bill Frist. It's rumored that he doesn't wash his hands from one patient to the next, because he doesn't believe in bacteria. Not scriptural, you know.

I'm afraid I might not have consulted a doctor at all, except for the local outbreak of flesh-eating bacteria that coincided with my problem.

Evolutions are on the same side as crazy Howard Dean (among many other antivalues flaming libs on your side). Very telling.

You're wrong, and it's time to put this particular lie to rest.

Go to any major university and you will find the following:

1. A "humanities" wing full of left-wing wackos, perverts, and worse.

2. A "science/business" wing full of objective, conservative thinkers.

It is simply not accurate to paint scientists as "leftists." Some of the global warming stuff may tap into leftist causes, sure, but the majority of scientists are the most conservative persons on any given campus.

To be continually discreet, I guess one would have to be dense.

I was just being tact-ful (like the second law.)

Where are you? The Congo?

I was just reading that the next Harry potter movie will have a PG-13 rating, and encountered this bizarre exchange in a forum. Scroll down to the first long post.

Thanks. I don't get to see enough scatter-brained stuff on this forum.

It's a great WTF moment. I suppose it's childish, but I really think this is going to be the one really good movie of the year, and I was curious what the reaction would be to shutting out little kids.

Suddenly, through a space/time warp, I'm back on FR.

As long as you don't end up in the river.

This is a test, to demonstrate ...

Micro changes, letter by letter, that accumulate into a macro change (blue to green).

[js1138]

There are people who insist there are specific named colors in the rainbow, even though it is a uniform gradient. Goes back to the tricks our brains play in direct observation.

Who would have ever guessed; micro hue changes accumulating over time until in the aggregate they become [oh; the HORROR!] macro-color changes!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaa!

Don't sweat it, you're just not the typing type. (You aren't a taxonomist are you?)

[PatrickHenry]

Almost ...
