Huh? Rereading... rereading... cue the epiphany in 3, 2, 1. Oh! I get it! That was hilarious!

You are not alone. Minority maybe for now. It will be interesting to ask in a short time when all special effects are "meh" because everyone does them on their own home movies, will these films be remembered for having made a lot of money but not much else?

Sorry to be pedantic, but Santorum is not an evangelical.

Yeah, I guess, but not just those things, everything. The distance between our galaxy and another is getting bigger. And between that galaxy and another still. It's not as if Earth is at the center of the expansion and the rest of space is receding just from us.

"I do not think that infinity is a number, but my math books and teaches have indeed treated it as such with add/subtract/multiply/divide."

You write that "mathematicians were actually 'cribbing' infinite into a number i.e. infinity." Infinity is not a number.

It's not that the universe is expanding into anything. It's just that the distances between everything are getting larger.

My point simply was that the religious importance of the uninterrupted seven day week thwarts any efforts to change it. HH specifically keeps the seven day week because to do otherwise would guarantee its failure.

Not at all. What I meant was that after we order and pay for something by the series of tubes — uh, I mean internet, whether the delivery of the physical goods is by a pneumatic tube or a truck is just an implementation detail. In my loose scoring, I'm awarding the "Store Purchases by Tube" prediction correct.

Actually, the question mark itself at the top of the article isn't a bad choice either. But why does Science need a symbol at all? Does Economics need one? How about History?

That's just an implementation detail.

I have to disagree with you on the Jack Black thing. The scene where others are grieving over lost comrades, but Black's character is grieving over the ruined filmreel absolutely made the movie for me.

Ah, I understand you better, thank you. But skipping one of the seven days is impossible. It's been running now unbroken for thousands of years. We could live with a new calendar, but we can't live with Tuesdays being occasionally more than seven days apart.

Yes. I was surprised that Londo & G'Kar weren't #1, so imagine my astonishment that they weren't even on the list.

but the problem with a leap day instead of a leap week is that the nth day of a given month isn't always the same day of the week, which is exactly the problem they're trying to address.

Remember the Government Adrenaline Supplement (GAS) that you would need to stay awake for 100 hours?

Is it just me or did that video seem sped up?

I remember seeing the same idea on a Scientific American Frontiers episode with Alan Alda years ago. Alan dressed up as a vet, which the chimps all hate because they don't like being examined. If one far off chimp saw that his friend knew that Alan was coming, he didn't react. But if the far off chimp realized that…

I see what you did there

Yes, Ron, keep at it. It's an understatement to call this brilliant and fresh. The originality of a silent fight scene, or perhaps the anachronicity of it, was compelling, beautiful art. I'm also excited to revisit a theme touched on in Galactica... a world where the terrorists are the good guys. Could that have…
