    Yes, and sails are meant to be operated in the wind as well, but it is possible to have too much wind.

    I cannot argue with anything you have said, in fact I agree with all of it, and I have heard Chomsky's lectures; however, would you want to listen to a year long lecture by Chomsky?

    I would not either.

    Well, I respect Noam Chomsky as a scholar, of linguistics at the very least, but I sure as hell would not want to sit through a year of lectures from him.

    Yo, I am on your side.

    And the biggest problem with pipelines is the land. Mainly the fact that they cut through the middle of important migration paths is what bothers me about anwr. The original point was that we could put up solar dishes in place of all the oil pipelines and have space leftover, thus the space used for solar energy would be better than the space used for oil.

  8. Re:Environmental loop... on World's Largest Solar Array to use Stirling Engine · · Score: 1

    Yes, because this is so much worse than the massive amount of land taken up by oil pipelines.

    Besides, 4500 acres is only 7 square miles. I am sure they can find some place in Sothern California that is already an environmental shithole to put this in.

    I had the pleasure of talking with a papal scholar, he was an atheist as well, about this passage. He knew ancient greek and used to invite in all the religious that rang his doorbell. He would pull out his bible and note that "the word" could be alternatively translated as "the argement" which comletely changes everything.

    1:1 In the beginning was the Argument, and the Argument was with God, and the Argument was fully God. 1:2 The Argument was with God in the beginning. 1:3 All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. 1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. 1:5 And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it.

    "but more on her husband, who seems to be slipping his dick in stranger's mouths..."

    Yay, an excuse to go all grammer porn.

    First, it should be strangers', the apostrophe goes after the s in a plural.

    Second, because you used the present tense it sounds like it is something that is happening now or something that you were involved in. Better would have been "who seems to have slipped his dick in strangers' mouths...". It is a matter of the present tense being immediate, or giving the impression of immediacy.

    Look what learning Latin has done to me.

    I will do you one better; form the Do-Nothing Party.

    The platform is:

    We will show up to be sworn in and then never show up again.

    The bueaty of this is that if you get more than a third of the house or the senate nothing will ever be done by congress as a quorum call will never be met. For those who do not know, each branch of congress requires at least 2/3 of the members to be there to officially begin a session. this is called a quorum call.

  24. Speaking of being a dork on Dungeon Master's Guide II · · Score: 1

    So I have a quick thread hijack question here.

    I got the d20 modern book(crap as far as the system and classes are concerned) and I got some ideas from it. I am thinking of running a game set in the modern world that consists of all greenskin PCs(no, not politically correct). But what is the best system I can use?

    I have looked at Shadowrun; and though it is pretty good, it is too based on being in the future. I would like to use the cyberpunk rules but I do not know a good way to mod them for use with non-human races. I am stuck here.

    P.S. My dream game would be a gang of goblins/snotlings living in the 'burbs trying to make do squating. I have also thought of using "call of chthulu"'s insanity point system but in reverse, i.e. the more "normal" stuff the goblin gang sees, the more crazy they go.

    Any help?
