Oh well. Better give up then.

No, you may be able to detect terrorist body odor.

[From many - one.]

Maybe you'd prefer "space opera"

(space for imaginary emoticon of me looking down my nose at folk who look down their noses at the sf of my day)

I forget which Justice it was, but "I know it when I see it," was his test for pornography.

I don't have a test for pornography myself. I don't even own a pornograph.

[Doctor Stochastic]

...we are fighting for...integrity...

The rest was superfluous.

[AndrewC]

Look, I think we've all resigned ourselves to the fact that you're going to make quibbling or enigmatic interjections that you never explain, but could you please do it WITHOUT 770772 byte graphics?

Sorry to trouble you. But in future to prevent your discomfort, you can choose not to display images. Then 770772 byte graphics won't hurt.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Well Chopra does rhyme with Oprah.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Much of this is due to Orrin Hatch's bill forbidding regulation of "natural" things as opposed to "unnatural things" like synthetic drugs. Belladonna is natural.

[Doctor Stochastic]

It's unethical to change the meaning of a quote.

However, Creationists do this religiously.

[VadeRetro]

So? We are not "Darwinists" as that word is understood by antievolutionists-who-claim-not-to-be-creationists-and-call-anyone-who-accepts-mainstream-science-a-"Darwinist".

There are two kinds of antievolutionists: people who don't lie about being creationists and people who do.

[Doctor Stochastic]

You forgot to "Cry Havoc!" first.

[Mamzelle]

re: The antievolution movement doesn't now, and never has, had a damn thing to do with how evolution is taught, only that it is taught.)))

Well, if your side could ever stop its infernal, terrified caterwalling, you might take a lesson from diplomacy and shift the terms of debate. It's this adolescent refusal to even hear another POV that's going to defeat you. People who don't particularly give a hoot about your status as Scienceman (the superhero!) at least pay attn to how you frame an argument.

[Mamzelle]

Maybe they'll get the grant after they get the attention. "How to make an evo scream without touching him." Should be a great followup to Pavlov.

[Doctor Stochastic]

On the other hand, there once was a school board member from Dover, who couldn't remember, when it was over, what he about finance....

[b_sharp]

Damn you are a handsome fellow. Heh.

Quite the nose.

[b_sharp]

Damn, every one in a while you get me to laugh with my mouth full of water. I'm just glad it isn't coke.

[Gumlegs]

Here I try to avoid posting drug jokes, and there you go with your post 275 just daring me.

[From many - one.]

Modest acknowledgment of your perceptiveness....and a perfect time to take leave for the night

May the force be with you while you live long and prosper.

[From many - one.]

Oops, forgot

8,999,999,999 and counting

Hey! He's got my hat!

(Thanks for posting, AC). G'night.
