So if Jesus gets the "bejeezuss" creeped out of him, do we just have to call him Diaz? :^D

That is one rally squirrel I wouldn't want to tangle with. Were he alive today, I would hope he would be rooting for the STL Cardinals!!!

Yes, that was actually the underlying point I was going to make, but didn't get around to making it. I read what Ifans said and I immediately thought, "He doesn't really know the source material."

But isn't it incorrect? Did Connors become hungry and greedy? Reckless, yes, but I thought it more about re-growing his arm, and then he turns into this "Mr. Hyde" type villian. Ifans describes him as more of a someone who took the dark path, instead of Jekyll and Hyde. Connors would seem to be much more…

Most creative! Hearted, my good sir/ma'am/whatever!

Me too. My dad had it in fridge in the barn by the caseload. I made space ships out of the beer boxes (the Millennium Falcon, to be precise).

First, I AM a biased Cards fan. I think we finally saw what the Cards were supposed to have been with all the talent they had. We talked all year long about the talent the Cards had all year. Then with the bullpen trades in July, it took a little while to gel, for the team to heal, etc. Even without Wainwright, I…

Ok, well played!!! (And you don't need to reply to this comment, but in case you want to.... I'll do this.)

Is that a dystopia, however? I agree that I think it is far-fetched, but except for the times the Feds are fighting against aggression, it seems pretty utopian.

Yeah, it is silly, but there is more to it than that. What it shows in a mathematical sense is that you can take a set of infinite numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, ...} and it is of the same cardinality (size) as another set of infinite numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...}. The second set has all the numbers as it did before, but now…

No problem...I was just trying to explain what I thought might have been demarcmj's reason for his statement (or at least how I interpreted his statement).

If you are knocked unconscious in a car wreck or some other such accident, people will probably look for insurance cards and stuff in your wallet. I doubt they would do the same on your phone (assuming it survives whatever accident you have). You would still get emergency treatment anyway, but I can see why someone…

Craig vs Ogando round 2...score another for the good guys!

Yeah, both of those up the middle plays are killing us! And Lewis is pitching well also. Garcia seems to be well also...I don't mind a game like this, but Cards need to win!

While I thought the article was good, the shot about Colby Rasmus is off the mark. Rasmus wasn't really producing at all, wasn't happy (or at least, was told he wasn't happy by his father), and really didn't fit with the team. I wish him well in his career, but I don't think he is going on to be one of the major…

Yes. I have had discussions with friends that such a time machine could actually also produce teleportation...just mess with the coordinates that account for the drift, and just travel a second or two forward in time (you know, to avoid those nasty paradoxes).

"Amicable Numbers are definitive proof that mathematicians are very inventive, but too often bored."

Apparently just some monk. It was a pretty common practice, and I doubt the monk knew what he was looking at with regards to Archimedes work. Check out Nova:Infinite Secrets to learn more about it. The episode is a few years old, but it is very enlightening.

I don't know about any knew theories necessarily, but what was amazing about this book is that Archimedes recorded HOW he figured stuff out, which just really wasn't done with ancient math texts...only the results and proofs were shown. It did come to light that Archimedes had pretty much figured out integral…
