Homeopathy doesn't do a whole lot--the extracts are given in such watered down amounts that they have no therapeutic value. However, the placebo effect makes about 35% of us feel better and attribute it to the homeopathic substance. Oh yeah, he came...  [Read More]

In this second series (again on Channel 4) Dawkins explores the world of pseudo-science and alternative medicine. Of interest is how homoeopathy defies the laws of physics. I'm wondering who else enjoyed this rather interesting series - which is actu...  [Read More]

I always found this (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2367986806557811071) video to be most interesting. Richard Dawkins and the Bishop of Oxford sit down and have a very pleasant conversation about why he believes, gay rights, evolution, euth...  [Read More]

Well you're here with the atheists and the deists and the buddhists and the hindus, etc. Therefore if hell is living without god and you're here with us, then you must be in hell. Oh absolutely, I'm down there with you in Hell :). I'm aimlessly theo...  [Read More]

When you're dying Archangel Gabriel comes to you and asks if you accept Christ and if you say yes you go to Heaven. So, according to this it doesn't matter what kind of life you lead, if you accept Christ you go upstairs and if you don't then ''you'r...  [Read More]

We should say what we mean, and mean what we say. Often what is meant by the use of 'homophobe' is: 'I don't like you, you are insulting/criticising someone who is G/L/B, and I can't think of a better insult or criticism of you.' Indeed, but when s...  [Read More]

I'm a fan of saying what you mean and meaning what you say. I'm also a fan of having a grasp of the root of much of our language. homos - same. phobos - fear, dread. Really, there is no other meaning. Semantic shift is an excuse for media labelling a...  [Read More]

How often do we hear people describing themselves as "gay" when they mean they're happy? Yup, semantic shifts are commonplace in English; how many people use obsequious as a word to describe mourning? It just doesn't happen. Quite why peop...  [Read More]

Damn, this game is long. I've been playing it for maybe 20 hours, maybe 24... something along those lines. Trying to complete every achievement (360 edition), though, the only one I don't think I'll get is beating it in the hard difficulty. I don't k...  [Read More]

Is this game any good? I've seen some of the spells and they look amazing! But I'm afraid that it won't work on XP because it's pretty old.. - Ghost Down It's basically the only game - as far as I am concerned - that can be considered literature (i...  [Read More]

Seems like the only difference between the different expressions is the eyebrows. I thought that when looking at them in the animation viewer. But in the game with lipsync, they have a rather nice effect - although, some of them are a little ridicul...  [Read More]

I did two examples with Shandra for you, just so you can see the variety. These are the only ones that don't look odd without the lips moving (shots taken in the animation viewer) - the others all look a little weird unless you have lipsync. http://...  [Read More]

I was pretty shocked that people could finish it in 26 hours on average. Once I hit Chapter 4, could see the reason though. This is pretty odd. I've heard many people talk about the game's length and either I was abnormally slow/terrible at combat (...  [Read More]
