Now, now. Daniweb serves, if I understand correctly, as a medium of information exchange. And the last thing we need is more violins in the media.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled...

Set an alarm clock. I'm serious about this.

From my own experiences, as well as what others have written that I've read, it's a lot easier to remember a dream if you wake up during it, rather...

Exactly what portion of the exhaust of a normal car is damaging to the ozone? I was under the impression the supposed problem was at a somewhat lower level of atmosphere.

And exactly how would...

Would you please cite your proof for the numeric statistic? It was my understanding that, in the United States at least, ~90%+ of occurences did appear among the somewhat overlapping groups of...

What's the difference between a catfish and a lawyer?

One's a scum-sucking bottom dweller.
The other's a fish.

"Hello, McDonalds Corporation? I'd like to complain about that last batch of fuel I ordered from you...it seems my car has been gradually getting bigger ever since I started using it."

"How many ways can I stretch my body out of shape?"

From what I've seen, any discussion of any kind of scientific or pseudoscientific material on this board will nearly inevitably lead into a comparison with evolution. This is in addition to...

Currently sitting at Posting Shark.
What I want to know, however, is what kind of shark I'm supposed to be.

Dogfish?
Nurse?
Whale?
Hammerhead?
Land?
Goblin?

No. While I personally find rap 'music' to be degrading and morally repugnant, allowing the government (in the form of any government agency) to step in and ban it would give the wrong message,...

Don't know enough about the situation, please allow me to study it and get back to you.



And what was their opposition, again?


Or was it just perhaps a way of bleeding off another enemy...?

We have enough problems dealing with welfare in our own country. What you just described is putting entire other countries on some form of international welfare role.

Seriously, if the US is...

@JoshSCH:

You may be right. MidiMagic may be wrong. I neither know enough, nor (at this point in time) care enough to determine who is correct between the two of you on my own.

However, by...

Inference and assumption are not the same thing.

Admittedly, they are related. You are assuming that the logical statements being inferred from are true. However, the inference itself is the act...

It can't be made up! The I Ching verifies it! They said so right on the Television!

[Note: I do not acknowledge the I Ching or any other divinatory tool as a valid source of information. And...

Given the discussion, I am assuming that this statement translates across as nothing more than "I like what you said because it agrees with what I think".

I can't speak for 'unconstitutional', but I've seen enough written about the historical evidence for political foul play in its passing that I'm skeptical. As was mentioned elsewhere, many southern...

What you are calling 'shortcutting' is an attempt to recreate the English language in a manner more preferable to you. The problem is, to those who are more used to the English language as it is...

He can assume whatever he likes. Doesn't mean it's correct.

It may be fake on our side, but you forfeited the name when you allowed your version to be shortened from association football to assoc. After all, that's where we get the term 'soccer' for it from.

I suspect the point there is that most of us wish it had been us; we tend to feel that we could have stood firm where someone else fell. However, that does sidestep the facts that, had we been born...

I'm saying that the 'evidence' for the Priory of Sion, and the entire 'Merovingian = bloodline of Jesus' deal, were from forged documents that surfaced in France during the first half of the...

Sorry I'm late posting to this; I got busy doing other stuff the past couple of days.

DaVinci Code:
From what I've seen, this was written pretty much as an 'In your Face, Church!' slam against...

Given that Josh seems to have abandoned this thread, I'm not sure he'll ever see this one, but...

The (presumed) seven-year reign of the Antichrist is a time of tribulation and destruction. The...

Prequel doesn't automatically imply backstory. I can see where you're coming from; my point was simply that The Hobbit served to lay out vast amounts of information about the world where the series...

The Hobbit, or There and Back Again. And it's filled with detail because A) That's the kind of author that J.R.R. Tolkien was, and B) if I recall correctly, The Hobbit was largely backstory for the...

They're not. Rowling has admitted in interviews that she's done a great deal of research into historical beliefs about magic, and that a fair portion of that has ended up in her works. I think the...

A storehouse for books, usually accompanied by audio/video materials and magazine or similar materials. With rules regarding borrowing/returning of said materials. And you probably need to go to...

Complaint about the first picture. They wouldn't read about it...to much chance the information might be left lying around. They just explain it to each other...that's why you see large groups of...

@JoshSCH:
If you ran into an antichrist, you'd agree with him. Your own position as an atheist is based on the spirit of antichrist.

If you ran into the Antichrist (the Beast of the book of...

They're not high fantasy, but I've enjoyed the Thursday Next and Nursery Crimes books by Jasper Fforde. I'd say they're worth checking out.

Eh, might want to edit that just a bit...

Actually, a case could be argued against that.

True, in WW2, some of the effects of the Depression were apparently negated. Wealth was produced, at least on paper, and goods were being produced. ...

No, they can't. If they tried to do so at a price high above the true market value, someone else would come in and undercut them. It might take time, but eventually they would have to do one of the...

It's not the fear of God that keeps us moral/humane, it's love for God. There is a difference.

And if someone's praying thinking they can control what's going to happen, either directly or...

To one who has rejected that which my Lord has offered? I have a few ideas...





The Catholic institution is not the Church. Catholicism did have great political power in that time, (and...

If free will does not exist, then you cannot posess it. If you do not posess free will, then I submit that your life is pointless.

Yes. If you are an atheist, then you will go to hell, and from...

I'm not sure about that particular bill, but it's my understanding that bills in that denomination range do in fact exist. However, they aren't put into circulation; they're supposedly used for...

I found this little list on another forum while searching for some info earlier today. It doesn't have the info I needed, but I thought at least some of the inhabitants of Daniweb might get a kick...

Of course! Just look, they're always sneaking across the border and

...

oh, wait. You meant the other kind, huh?
