It weirds me out that so many people on this planet actually need an omnipotent being sitting on their shoulder 24/7 to feel 'special'. It's megalomania, plain and simple.
"invariably you are met with brutish impudence."
Unlike, of course, any discussion with parent poster. He will argue with dignity, and... wait, what?
"people talking about violent video games are reduced to chimpanzee-like sqwakings about their latest giblet fest, screaming from the tree tops of the ladder board, that they have defeated the betas, killed their children, and impregnated their women monkeys."
Ah... so you're one of those... *backs away slowly from the troll*
While lying half-awake in the mornings I'm often able to get up, walk to the bathroom, and start getting ready for the day, all without leaving my bed. I'm not actually doing those things of course, but shortly after my alarm wakes me and before I'm actually lucid I can sort of see 'through' my eyelids as if I was awake and had them. I guess it's a sort of semi-lucid dream. It's gotten me in trouble before though, as despite the fact that I generally know what time it is when I'm in this state, I'm never worried about being late because, hey, as far as I know I'm awake and ready to go!
"You can hypnotize somebody into not being able to see the third man in the room."
No, you can't.
When you've 'hypnotized' someone, all you've done is find someone who will put up with your bullshit and do what you say for a bit. Try hypnotizing an unwilling person or getting someone to jump out of a window whilst 'hypnotized'; nothing will happen, unless of course the person is just THAT dumb.
Now THAT'S good journalism. I'm often angered by the way that many publications nowadays seem to ignore the fact that most people don't know just how big a billion is, and even I didn't see the '61.7 billion' number in quite the same light as I do now, having seen the $/second breakdown. $7.75k/sec. God damn.
Why don't you try looking up the answer to that in his post?
"The facts you need all the time will stick all by themselves"
He's not saying to give yourself alzheimers.

You're right, but exactly which part of evolution is an opinion?

You'd have a point if evolution had anything to do with the big bang.

"...I can sort of see 'through' my eyelids as if I was awake and had them..." ...open, of course. 'had them open.'
