Is that what it's called when I put 'discrete amounts' of 'purified water', sometimes infused with 'minerals' or 'other materials', such as 'organic coffee', into the 'colon' using 'medically approved class II colon hydrotherapy devices' with 'sanitary, disposable speculums' or 'gravity-fed enema-like systems' 'inserted' into the 'rectum'?

Wait, we're talking about colonic irrigation right?

If you'd stop clenching there wouldn't be a problem.

It only hurts the first time.

Just give him the ass and nobody has to get hurt.

You'll take your platform elements and you'll freaking enjoy them you ungreatful brat. Then, THEN maybe you'll get a shotgun and more than three bullets. But only then. I HAVE A SPOON IN MY FACE. OUCH.

virgin mary toast evolved from square toast? When a painting apears in a forest it's a statistical improbability, unless it's a picture that vaigely represents somthing religious, then suddenly it's a miricle.

Remember all those peices of toast with seemingly randomly created images of the virgin mary on them? I'm just saying.

Haha, Baley got mazed.

Leelu is love.

I quite like the base thinking of this point, which links into Taks above talking about explaining of the unknown. We evolved tenancies to be 'religious' because we are sentient, and like to question and poke everything around us. However, some things are so unbelievably huge and out of our comprehension that we fabricate explanations, even if they are completely unprovable. Science would call this a hypothesis, but others have called science a religion, and in some ways they'd be right. Frankly, I'm of the belief that the existence or not of god is irrelevant, that if living a good life means I get to go to heaven, great, if not I've lived a good life and not let it bother me. But I don't expect this to matter to anyone but myself.

Whoever wins, we lose.

Actually, given the 'dozens of gods', i'm more wondering what it is about humans that drives this need to create the divine. After all, even if one religion WAS right, they can't all be right, unless they're all different manifestations of the same thing, but putting this aside i'd love to read any studies on why people do this and have done this seemingly since time began. I'd like to think that it's more than 'they were lonely and hated their lives'.

Hook it up to the internet and download all the demos you want, then head over to XBL Arcade and see if there are any classics you feel like reliving the glory days in. Seriously, just about anything you would want to actually buy has a trial version on XBL which can be filtered by genre.

The general consensus in the UK (from my own experience talking to people, anyway) is that from the outside at least, US politics seems to be far more about popularity contests and 'defaming' the other party (in particular, on character rather than policy) than actually about then running of the country. This, of course, happens in the UK too, but it always seems far more subtle than a man on a podium shouting about how his opponent wasn't really in the army or smoked cannabis in college or somthing. As for the alternative being worse, we seem to have experianced that over here too, with Labor being disliked, but Conservative disorginised and Lib Dems being 'a bit too wishy washy' on a number of issues, and both really lacking a strong (stable) figurehead. Having said that, I liked Gore, but only because he didn't come off as a flaming moron and my opinion is that he wouldn't have driven the US into such debt or waged war on the entire muslim world, but I know almost nothing about him or the issues at hand.

You, duh. And by punch, I mean, fondle

On that note, I wonder if this could pave the way for a machine that FINALLY lets you punch people over the internet.

TOEE with coop would be bought in a heartbeat.

Which seems to be the only way for publishers to really grow these days.

As soon as it comes on the market people are going to try and use thing thing for porn.

That says all i've ever needed to know about Bush getting into power.

You freaking nerd.

Uncultured yobo that I am, I hadn't heard of this fellow before (not in more than passing anyway). Thanks for the read. It's amusing though, that the passage admits that the people it's really 'talking' to wouldn't listen anyway, such is the nature of their faith.

Dear lord, MATLAB, that brings back some horrible memories.
