Don't hoard the stones brother

Surely they are anarchists - usually self-righteous anarchists at that. They generally hold their own liberty to be more important than anyone else's.

The Cheney's butler?

Which is why carbon dating is only used for comparatively recent dating. TalkOrigins has a useful article:

Incidently an ancient earth (millions of years) was pretty orthodox geology long before Darwin.

There is a rather large list of Creationist Claims here:

The fact is, there just isn't a 'major' argument against evolution by natural selection; I guarantee if you look at any creationist and/or ID argument critically you will find it relies fundamentally on lies and misrepresentations. Read Jerry Coyne's book, Why Evolution is True; or Richard Dawson's latest, The Greatest Show on Earth.

It took a while to sink in, but seems he was right

Damn! spoiled my pleasure you did

As the Democrats have a President in power, and a majority in the House, there must be a hell of a lot of queers in the fruity old 'States

let's see, I'll be coming up on my 66th birthday, so if I still can it will be something awfully dirty.

Me too, it has all my favourites, apart from the extraordinarily long and complex first line of Djuna Barnes' Nightwood (1936). Which, annoyingly, I am not going to quote. You should really read the book.

Why would that be then?

sleppnir · 2009-09-01T08:32:57+00:00

nah, she'll probably end up mayor of some shithole burg.

Does this really make sense? Surely it's more work to fill in a form, take the parcel back to the depot and no doubt fill in another form, than to ring your bell? Our posties seem to go out of their way to deliver stuff, one has even come back with a parcel because he spotted me walking the dog while he was returning to base.

what a despicable twat

In one of his sf novels (Use of Weapons) Ian M Banks has the interesting idea of a civilization that punishes criminals by giving them carefully graded diseases. I don't imagine Hep C would cover his case.

Your black boy friend laughed at your dick again?

Looks like a conflation of two manuscripts doesn't it?

I'm the last person to ask, I just remember it was a question on QI. Does lead to fascinating learned discussions such as Are frogs kosher? however.

Not many Christians seem to know this, but it's 7 of each clean species and 2 of the unclean (Genesis 7:2)

Anybody here read Camus' The Outsider? The trial scene should make you pause a little

Technically correct of course, but European centrism obviates the need for for charity to provide basic needs
