Red sun and yellow sun. The heat/energy of a red giant is less than the heat/energy of a yellow star. Kryptonite is radioactive not magic and this is even mentioned in the golden age Superman. Kryptonite formed in the the core of Krypton during the explosion. So, he gets power from Earth's sun as it produces more…

My point is limitations. Nothing can beat magic except for some other person's magic. "Superman is weak against kryptonite and also my lava fireball." Why, because it's magic and I can make up any kind of response. Once we get to that level than what's the point of these stories anyway once you have an all powerful…

The real cop out is MAGIC. You can essentially solve everything by not having to explain it. How can someone stand up to Superman and almost kill him, MAGIC. Since there are no rules to magic you can make up whatever you want. If you bring gods into the mix then you need to explain where are the Kryptonian gods. Are…

He's still under. That was not his charm.

Boo Hoo!! The same people complaining about this storm were also making fun of the people in New Orleans. Don't live in the icy north if you can't handle the snow.

There is only one truly extraordinary underground city!

Ask marijuana farmers how they grow plants indoors.

I'm not saying Christianity was the "saving grace" for literacy in the world. The religion kept a form of literature about after the fall of the Empire to barbarous tribes with no math, literature, or science/technology. Gatekeepers, yes, but also holding on to the only forms of knowledge. This eventually led to the…

Native Americans also so what happened to their people when corrupted by advanced civilizations.

If you read the last sentence of my first paragraph, that summed up what you just said. Christianity kept literacy in the European region during the dark ages, what this thread was about. While a form of Algebra originated in the middle east (Babylonia) there was a different form based on Geometry in Greece. These…

This is only assuming that the resources we are currently using are the only means of advancement. Wouldn't a downgrade in "advancement" be for the best? Living and thriving on what is given. Think more of the Native Americans living in cohesion with nature. The only necessary reason for "getting out" is when we (homo…

Not saying it's their dildo, but just a dildo.

I approve these sentiments.

Not taking any of this personally. Maybe you are being passive aggressive. I'm not the one essentially calling for a "chess burning". I simply stated that I disagree with the statement that chess will not be around 100 yrs from now.

I understood what you were saying. It was a joke. Not all deaf people are like Beethoven.

Essentially made the same remark. This cold water idea can be thrown out the window with freezing your jeans.

Well, doesn't hot water open up your pores? Not only does it open it up but it also loosens up the oil in the pores making it easier to clean off. Have you ever tried cleaning grease off a cooking pan with cold water? Not that effective.

So you are saying that you are 4 years old?
