It seems to me "mythical" and "not real" are near synonymous. Bigfoot is mythical in the same sense that fairies, killer rabbits, and swamp mattresses are mythical. Meaning that there has been no significant evidence to suggest the existence of each, but there is still a small likelihood that they do exist. But that's…

I'm putting that on my gravestone. Thanks!

As a former anus, I resent that.

Pretty tame, I'd say.

The burden of proof lies upon the party making unfalsifiable claims.

Actually, in Asimov's story the planet had several stars, and it was the total darkness event every few thousand years that drove the inhabitants mad.

Haha! "Saturated".

Other than the colour scheme, I can't really see that.

I've started using Safari as my main browser over Chrome after key interface improvements (e.g. smart-zoom, forward and back animations) that Apple put in place with 5.0. And I can safely say that apart from some extensions, there isn't much that I miss.

The burden of proof rests upon those who boast a positive claim.

I think it's a great idea! Although, I also think metric time is a great idea... but it is!

Why don't you take a flying fuck at a rolling donut?

I think both are doing just fine. In any renaissance, as in the one the Internet has brought communication, there's going to be a lot of great experimentation and there's going to be a lot of rubbish. But only the great successes will bring about any lasting change. The rubbish is ignored.

I love this analogy.

That's the idea.

Or perhaps text-speak and hashtags are simply extensions to the English language that can be used for both intelligent and "simpleton" thoughts? Both evolved as specialised means for transmitting information. Text-speak, for example, reduces English to its most compact forms and demonstrates how redundancy maximises…

THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER.

And we all lived happily ever after...?
