We just have to figure out how to harness the true power behind the reseach community. We're gonna need a scary lot of pizza and caffeine to pull it off though. In all seriousness though, is there any such thing as the "right people" when it comes to the development of immortality and supe...

I think this experiment provides evidence for a suspicion that has been growing on me for a little while. I think the entire academic world is in the thralldom of a single class, and no one is aware...not even... especially not even themselves. I speak of grad students, particularly PhD candidates. ...

Hi Cheyne! I've been lurking around (mostly on this thread) but I just had to chime in on those things.

I could use some of those uber-lenses - where do I sign up 8)

Oh, and on the "roadable aircraft" thing, it's been done twice before that I'm aware of: once in the 30's and once in the 70's with dismountable control surfaces. And the one from the 70's had the advantage that when you disconnected the wings, there was an actual car...granted it was an A...

Why would paper companies complain? If it weren't for the explosion in office paper use, they'd already be looking at the poorhouse with the looming demise of print media. It's more likely to be a clever ploy to squeeze a few more percentage points out of their stockholders before they take their mo...

You all may or may not be surprised that my definition of the soul has a theological leaning. I know that most of you are atheist, agnostic, or at least anti-religion but you opened the can, so :P The soul consists of two parts: the spirit and the body. The spirit is immortal, a kind of life essence...

I'm admittedly late coming into this conversation, but there are already multiple cable companies using the same lines, multiple power companies using the same lines. Corporations can "sponsor" sections or zones of roads and be responsible for operation, maintenance, billing, etc. That way...

GENIUS! :cheers: finally, a practical way of recycling the untold millions of unwanted Magic cards out there - as puppy treats!

This way the cards are put to use and emerge as...dog crap which speeds the bio-degradation process immensely.

that's a scary thought...Stockholm Syndrome for a movie - and yet it makes sense. I went to England in 2000, on the flight home they announced the in-flight movie and I remember thinking, "Gakk! What other channels does this stupid coach seat have? I'll take anything, maybe some nice mariachi t...

I'm not sure what the situation will be as far as the hospital bill is concerned, but there will probably be some kind of payment plan - however, that won't cover office visits and prescriptions once he gets out; I hope he and his family can sort out some way of coping that doesn't land them in the ...

Yes, Vanth appears with wings, but I'm not so sure demon is the right word. I think she was a kind of psychopompos (guide of the dead) although I've seen pictures of her dressed sorta like a huntress (fur boots, short dress, crossed straps on her chest). For Persian mythology, I'm afraid you'll have...
