    And, iirc, hippopotamus kill more people then alligators.
  3. Cool. I was looking for a place like this. Since you asked: 1) Brown? Gotta go. 2) The text in the poll is almost impossible to see. 3) The board does not autosize to IE7. Its all over the place. 4) I have a tattoo remarkably similar to the center page design.
  4. ESPN NFL 2K5 was also excellent (PS2) and at $19.99 brand new, a great deal. Does Sega make all of the ESPN franchise games?
  5. Dont remember you but you get high marks for your avvy. Welcome back.
  6. What if the entire surface of the planet is destroed and no living thing survives except for whats in the vault? If no one is there to jump start the life creation process, how is having this vault usefull? There needs to be some sort of automatic incubation process that would bring the ova to maturity, allow growth of the embrio until a living, breathing human being pops out of a tank or something. Hehe, you better also develop a robot that will teach those people about life or that living, breathing human isnt even going to know how to wipe its own butt much less restock the Earth. Irrelevant. Humans have evolved since the stone age, they can do it again. True, but those humans had other humans to teach them, unless you are referring to the first two cavemen to ever exist. In this case everyone will be starting from nil in a room full of technology they couldnt possibly understand.

  9. IIRC, the scent of a persons sweat is directly related to the food that person has eaten. Some cause a stronger more unpleasant scent while others mitigate the scent.
  10. Ive heard it as "Live hard, die young, leave a good looking corpse." Anywho, WTF, did this family recently handle the Hope diamond or open a tomb? They gots the BIG MOJO CURSE on them!
  11. No apology necessary. I suppose I sould clarify myself. Im not against cures for diseases or even so much for subsidizing the cost (although it does rankle me a little). Im against the government MANDATING anything medically that does not effect the wellbeing of the populous. I would also be against a MANDATED HIV vaccine. Not because its not a good thing, not because you would be an idiot not to get it, but because in those examples (non-communicable) they have no business in your body. Now regarding parents who "just cant be arsed" to educate and provide a ride to the clinic, well tbh, thats their problem. We do not need a nanny government that attemts to MANDATE every aspect of our health. Money is one issue (see subsidizing) but just plain ole dont give a damn isnt an excuse for the government to step in.
  12. Or try www.housegun.com Hehe, this cracked me up: Imagine looking down and seeing 20 laser dots on your chest.
  13. For a mere $55.00 you can get a CPU upgrade? I say go for it. How big of a jump up is it over your existing CPU?
  14. So in lue of even the most basic parenting skills you advocate the government "taking charge" of those pesky decisions and deciding for you? Well, youve got me there, I have no adequate response for that.
  15. Eh? How did you get that from what I just typed? If it isnt "mandated" doesnt mean it ceases to exist. You want it, trot you daughter on down to the obgyn and get it. Whats the big deal?
  16. Im not arguing against a cure. I disapprove of the delivery. Protecting the general public against the most common and easily transmittable virus is just good business. Its the targeting of niche, non-trasmittable viruses and then mandating innoculation that raises my hackles. Throw in the $6,000.00 kickback, I mean donation, his election fund received from the very maker of the drug and the whole thing stinks to hell.
  17. I find it disturbing that the multitude of psychological tests she undoubtedly took failed to identify such a glaring flaw.
  18. From the original link:
  19. My point has nothing to do with the act of sex and everything to do with the manner of contraction. Mandating vaccination for a virus thats non-transimittable through convention means and only effect a niche of the population is akin to mandating a balanced diet. As a matter of fact, Id wager the govenor of TX would better serve his constituency by enforcing such a mandate. Think of the billions of state dollars saved in obesity related health issues and the thousands of people saved from themselves!
  20. I may have missed something about cervical cancer, but I'll wager you can get it without having sex. I may be off base but iirc, this particular vaccination is for a cancer caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus (SP?)) which I think can only be contracted though sex. So thats my point, all current "must have" vaccinations for public school are for viruses that are easily trasmitted via touch or air, and hence they make sense to have in place for the greater good of the community. This is not the case with this vaccine which treats a virus you cant get just walking about.

    TV: Heroes

    *is flabbergasted* Nathan sure does get around. Invisible Mans solution to an overloading Peter was pretty funny.
  22. ^I thought the "no children killed" thing was only for certain countries that outlawed it.
  23. What every one of you has failed to notice is that cancer is not an airborn communicable disease so immunization isnt "required" like the other examples that have been cited. This is not "for the greater good" as all anyone has to do to prevent this cancer is have safe sex.
  24. The Wicker Man: Includes Ending Not Shown In Theaters! Total garbage. Not sure of the ending shown in theaters but in this one I mean seriously, this cult of women plans YEARS ahead to dupe a guy into coming to the island JUST IN CASE they have a bad crop one year and need to burn him up in a sacrifice? Lamest. Plot . Evar.
