At the pub I used to work with, we split tips with the chefs. Why wouldn't we? If we served shit food, we wouldn't get any tips.

It was 5:30 in the morning so there was no receptionist on duty and the phone was answered by the nurse in question, presumably at the end of a very long shift.

Having experienced this a number of times *ahem*, I have a question: why doesn't this seem to affect vision, or hurt your eyes in bright light? I'd assumed there were good vision reasons for the contraction and dilation of your pupils but can't say I've ever been bothered by bright lights when my eyes have been…

...Do you reckon Brandon Routh ever rings him up drunk screaming "Why are you making me look bad?!"

Is Cavill wearing one of those Superman muscle suits you get for 4 year olds? He looks a hell of a lot bigger than Brandon Routh.

1)...It's based on the X-Men comics.

He was kind of their king though. Not just any old Belgian guy.

So basically the same plot as the first film but with a Vulcan instead of a Romulan?

It's still wrong because you attribute all the other arguments in that article to Loeb; they aren't his. Some guy called Jonathan Sarfati wrote the article (as it says at the top of the page) and they're his arguments. He quotes Loeb once in relation to the star formation article and yet you've attributed everything…

He isn't, as far as I can see. He was quoted out of context on some creationists webpage and Dvorsky seems to have misinterpreted that as him writing the entire webpage.

Is Loeb actually a creationist? It seems that this webpage: http://creation.com/nebular-hypothesis has quoted his entirely valid scientific opinion on star formation out of context to support their own bullshit ("The truth is that we don’t understand star formation at a fundamental level."— Abraham Loeb, Harvard’s…

They're not all stupid, no. Some are ill-educated, ignorant, sheltered, brainwashed or stubborn. Or some combination of the 6.

I don't know what the square root of 234723498732409872349872 is but I know it isn't 2. You don't need to know the right answer to know that "The Flood did it" is wrong.

...How is this surprising? Nobody prefers women proposing because the people who don't think that men should always propose just don't care who does; they don't randomly switch to the opposite and decide women should propose. There are obviously still going to be people who think men should always be the ones…

I'm pretty sure that's not right in British English either (I'm British).

It wasn't an assumption at the time; it was a deduction based on the available evidence. There was very little evidence that the universe was expanding.

You can't directly compare the lengths of the books because the Lord of the Rings is written in a much more dense fashion than the Hobbit. It takes them 200* bloody pages to get to Bree.
