Things To Do Before You Die

Lu Xun writes "A group of British scientists has brought some meaning to our lives by providing a list of 100 scientifically-oriented things to do before you die. The suggestions include 'joining the 300 Club at the South Pole (they take a sauna to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, then run naked to the pole in minus 100 F) or learning Choctaw, a language with two past tenses - one for giving information which is definitely true, the other for passing on material taken without checking from someone else.'"

      Yes, I am also a member of several other closer to sea level clubs, including the below sea level club, well, mostly below, some was still out, had to breath (although for one part I couldn't breath)

      anyway, In Korea, the mile high club is only for old people.

    Fahrenheit degrees are fairly near a reasonably perceptible change in temperature. Celsius ones are too big, so you either have to use half degrees (which most HVAC systems do) or round to a larger granularity.

    The origin of this lies in Soviet Russia (located in Japan). Current president there is Natalie Portman. Their favorite food is "hot grits".

    Natalie Portman isn't president of Russia yet -- except in Japan -- but she will be as soon as Duke Nukem Forever comes out.

    "Two ways to end the war: (1) Kill all terrorists. (2) Convert to Islam. Unfortunately, diplomacy is not a part of either"

    Well if that's as far as your imagination can take you then OK I guess. But tell me one thing. How do you plan on killing ALL the terrorists without making new ones. Also since you are making terrorists all over the world how do you plan on killing all the terrorists in all the countries in the world including the US?

    I just don't see how you could kill them all. I guess it's time to either convert to islam or think a little bit harder to see if there are more options.
