Seriously. Now, please.

Step #1 Please be silent

This reminds me of a Shark Tank episode a couple seasons back - a guy made something like reusable temperature cubes that you dropped into your coffee which kept the temperature in the ahh zone. Same material, maybe?

I suspect that should this ever happen, you can expect the extinction of nearly every threatened species within 20 or 40 years. In principal I agree with it, but in practice, out of sight, out of mind. People will only work to save the animals they can see (i.e. the cute ones), if you do this, and say close down zoos…

I am completely mystified (pun intended?) that the author would state Buddhism has "no concept of God or the soul" based on an article where the Dalai Lama asks that we adopt secular ethics. How could Buddhism eschew the belief in soul when the whole point of it is to allow the soul to slip the bonds of earthly…

I don't think the existence of a shrine indicates anything except the existence of a shrine. It's just as likely that an existing shrine was taken over and reused when Buddhism became the dominant religion in the area. We see that pattern all over Europe and around the Mediterranean — why not here as well? It was a…

Or Romana?

Orla Brady as someone from The Doctor's Past?

We saw Twilight and Hunger Games adapted because the books were huge, massive hits in their own right. They were major bestsellers.
