"asserting a social relationship with a domestic animal on the same level and depth as a human is solidly in the middle..." of the criteria for HF Asperger's
Working nights is listed as a possible carcinogen by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer). The link that has the biggest research base is between breast cancer and night work. The dominant theory is that circadian disruption caused by exposure to light at night lowers melotonin production which is either a causal factor in cancers or supresses protective mechanisms.
So, too much sunlight in the day causes skin cancer, too much artifical light at night possibly causes breast cancer.
... and if they make it this far, they aren't going to waste their precious resources trying to kill us.
Humans - at the time - went a "long way" to discover America/Australia etc etc and certainly killed the local inhabitants. Sometimes this was deliberate (shoot 'em) and sometimes this was accidental (common, harmeless diseases that were deadly to them). The best that could be hoped for is that they were "integrated" into the new society in a way that may have been well meant, but ended up causing massive problems to those peoples even hundreds of years later.
And they were the same species. Other species we plucked, roasted, hung their teeth around or necks etc.
OK - aliens may be different. Or may be the same.
Yes, species that taste yummy to humans (e.g. cows) sometimes get a big survival push because we encourage them to live by selectively breeding/eating them. (Provided that the species are easy to keep - being yummy is a bad trait if you are a wild animal that doesn't suit farming).
It's difficult to imagine what the arbiter would be - at the moment, most people play "in case of disagreement it must be in the dictionary". How will this work if I claim Ffwyn (as a welsh name - real or not)?
Look, if I were the average Joe in Jordan and someone said "aliens have invaded, it's in the papers, the police are out looking for them", I would be more likely to think: "No way... but somethings going on, so I'll keep the kids off school" than: "It must be a joke... I'll ignore all the hullaballoo and send my kids off to school as per normal."
And that's how panic spreads.
As for the Mayor, he'd be better off admitting that he fell for the prank and then pointing out the serious side of it (panic caused etc) than doing the lawyer thing.

This is also true, from my own observation, about reading on a Kindle. When I am reading for work or study I find the page turning rate slow and a little frustrating. This is because I am only scanning the page focusing in on important bits, and want to get through the pages quickly.
When I'm reading for pleasure (a novel for example), I find the page turning smooth as silk and not slow at all (I suspect it is faster than a book). I think this is because my reading rate remains constant.
Amongst the literary set, both the kindle and the ipad (as a reader) will rise or fail on the basis of the books that are available.
Plus, a lot of head injuries from car accidents are decelleration injuries as well - the head doesn't actually hit anything. The brain can spin slightly inside the skull causing multiple rips (axonal shearing). The brain can also bounce against the skull. This also explains why shaking a baby is so dangerous.
Wow - right up till I checked with Wikipedia, I though you were all talking about the Duracell Bunny http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duracell_Bunny
I hadn't realised that there was an Energizer Bunny, or maybe I just hadn't spotted that there were two different bunny species advertising two different batteries.
Maybe we didn't get the EB in Australia because the DB predated it?
It is interesting how stereotypes about people from different countries differ from place to place. Where I am from, there is a definite stereotype that americans are rude, but I've never heard that the French are impolite.
I know someone going through chemo/radium therapy for an inoperable cancer with a very poor prognosis at the moment, so the side effects would need to be something as dire as a patient explosion or the nanos breeding, mutating and eating us all alive before this would be rejected.
Re the censorship issue in Australia: You are correct, but, still, every little drop of ammunition helps. Sadly, in these political battles, rationality and facts matter far less than propaganda and sound bites.
Re isolationist and inward looking.Again you are correct. When I said "isolationist" I was quoting someone I know who was over in Copenhagen as an environmental lobbist and that was the word he used. Which I guess brings up the point that agressive superpowers may be super-scary, but in economic and environmental terms, superpowers can never be "isolated" in any true sense.
One good effect of this is that Google - who have spoken out against net censorship in Australia - can now gently suggest that Australia is in the same club as countries like China.
By taking the high moral ground in China, they can act to protect a free market place in Western democracies who are moving increasingly towards censorship.
And, of course, it's another little chip away at China, who are really looking like the emerging world power of the 21st Century. And their isolationist, inward-looking culture is not something you want in a superpower.

Why does it need a possessive? "Microsoft have had a desktop application ... how come Google don't". You think Google owns the "don't"?

No it isn't.
Cancer.

Wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a hug. Then say: "Oh, I really feel the warmth of your hug".
Um ... could tolerance have something to do with this difference?
What you are saying is interesting and, I think, valid - but your abusive tone is off putting.
Not in Missouri. If the child has bruises or a "marking" in an area that looks like they disciplined then they could take custody away
"Could" is one thing, "did" is another.
There is a link to the PDF of the whole article if you click on the word "published" in the mini-article.

I think you have misunderstood the post.
The point made was: Arabs are no more or less able to see a joke than anyone else.

Oh damn you to hell! Suddenly "I'm an individual! An inder-bloody-vidual" is going round and round my head. @#$%!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0Q5JFHrGNk
No, but they do "keep on keeping on".
Here is the original (1973) Duracell Bunny ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNAKgApo72U&feature=related and the original EB ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiFQsxGUQOI&feature=related
I've checked - Duracell Bunny was born 1973, the EB was born 1989. EB was born in a parody ad of the DB commercial.

Thanks a lot, I had repressed that till now.
