Yes I read it. I waited for it to be available as a complete set though which was either known or suggested at the time.

I see.

I'm not diminishing the skill, education and talent surgeons have but with the admittedly incredibly weak stomach I have for such things...I will say that you and I have VERY different concepts of what it means to be non-invasive. Putting robotic cameras and other tools in your body doesn't qualify as such for me.

Then you have a miracle phone that should be submitted to the Smithsonian. Congrats.

I wasn't saying that Water itself was rare. It was one example of a resource more interesting than humanity.

I was using an example to counter the argument that E.T.'s would come to Earth for us. The Earth itself has many resources. Probably much more valuable than humanity.

Not instantly. They all look the same with the same bland color schemes. But like DragonBreath above you stated to each his own.

Thing is she's not a teacher. I'm guessing she's a retired volunteer placed on that bus to keep order just be being present.

I don't condone what they did to this lady.

So...if a large group of people get together and draw these folks right up to the point where the information is exchanged...it would prove disastrously expensive for them yes?

I don't see it. I've played with one and perhaps there is a learning curve after heavy use.

Windows has been no stranger to this policy. iPaq users still have scars. As do Dell i50v owners.

Hair pinchers.

Coming to see us and coming to visit Earth would be a completely different thing. Look around at all the planets in our own Solar System. Its a diamond in the rough. We can tell what planets are made of in other solar systems, why can't they?

I disagree with you. It doesn't poke fun at religion at all. It pokes fun specifically at an organization that misinterprets their own Bible.

So that T-Rex there wasn't viciously attacking some prey but instead cracking up at a knee-slapper joke Adam just told him?

Ironic considering I was responding to your very anecdote.

My eyes are super sensitive. I guess some folks can get used to it like you said.

Yes accept what you get. BUT it would still hurt regardless wouldn't it?

No doubt. But they (the actors) like to make themselves captains.
