... Would you like some toast?"

Does an Amoeba understand you? Not really. Do you understand an Amoeba? Yes, its a single celled organism.
Not saying you're an amoeba or anything;) but the analogy stands.
As for your sig, a fool often forgets the complex that makes up the simple things. Take the proton or neutron; we can observe its behaviour, and that gives us a limited understanding of it but that is like saying you understand how a car works because you saw a tyre track in the road.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word [Jesus] was with God, and the Word [Jesus] was God. He [Jesus] was with God in the beginning." John 1:1-2
But apart from that, I tend to agree with what you are saying. I've always wondered why my teeth were so good.
However, one thing strikes me. How does this wood stacking theory work for the universe? Surely, if theres a universe (and therefore, by definition, one of them without outside influence) who so to speak stacked its firewood?
Hmm. Believe in God.. Not believe in God. Hmm. Don't really suppose it matters I'm here anyway might as well enjoy it. I'm off to spend time with the family.
Jade was a very very thick Big Brother contestant in the uk. Hence the joke is that "big brother got jades brain" and because jades brain is.. er.. crap, its funny:)
To quote you a Jade-ism (so you get the picture of just how thick she is):
Jade : They don't do that in the Thames though, do they ?
Spencer : No. I don't work on the Thames though do I. I work in Cambridge.
Jade : Is there not the Thames there ?
Spencer : No !
Jade : Oh. I thought the Thames went there.
Spencer : No.
Jade : What ? So you work in Cambridge, on a little river bank or somefink ?
Spencer : Yes... on a little river bank.
Jade : Why - is there a river called the Cambridge river ?
Spencer : Yeah, it's called the Cam.
Jade : Really ? You swear ? I only thought there was the Thames. I thought that was the main one in London.
Spencer : It is. I don't live in London.
Jade : I'm confused. I thought Cambridge was...
Spencer : That Cambridge was in London ?
Jade : Yeah. I knew Birmingham weren't in London. I thought Cambridge was in London.
Spencer : Would you like to go and tell the group what you just said ?
Jade : No...
Spencer : You thought Cambridge was in London ?
Jade : Yeah. I thought it was just a bit out. In London, but a bit out. You know you've got Bermondsy, Lewisham and all them sort of places; I thought that Cambridge was in London, but a different place.
Spencer : Cambridge is a city.
Jade : But we've got the city in London.
Spencer : Yes. The city is called London. And there's different parts of it. Cambridge is a city.
Jade : Of where ? Kent ?
Jade : Well England's a country, London's a city, Bermondsey's just a throw-off. Now where are you ? What's your country, and what's your things ? I'm confused.
Spencer : What country am I from ? England. The city is called Cambridge, the county Cambridgeshire.
Jade : So it's not Kent then ?
Spencer : No... The region is called East Anglia.
Jade : East Anglia ? That's abroad. Is there not a place called East Anglia abroad ?
Spencer : Jade, have you been taking the stupid pills again ?
Jade : Every time people tell me they work in East Anglia, I actually think they're talking about near Tunisia and places like that. Am I thick ?
Spencer : Well, I hate to say it; but...
Jade : No !
Spencer :... you are.
Jade : Cos Scottish and Irish and all that comes under England, doesn't it ?
Spencer : No... They come under Great Britain. Scotland and Wales have their own flags. Northern Ireland and Ireland are different.
Jade : So they're not together ? Where's Berlin ?

Come on, this is rediculous. Different programming languages, different applicable circumstances. One thing in one language is hard, in another its easy. Use the right tools, and bingo.
The United States is to send a team of military experts to Mars to investigate how a US Space shuttle accidentally bombed the village of EeEBok, apparently killing and wounding a large number of civilians.
The Pentagon said the 15-strong group will fly there to begin its mission within the next 48 hours.
Martian officials say 48 civilians died and 117 people were wounded in the strikes.
"It seems", a Whitehouse spokewoman said in an interview last night, " that once again NASA seems to have confused Metres with Millimetres. The bomb was actually supposed to be targeting the south pole of the lunar surface... Those who are responsible will be sacked."
I once received a text message over 24hours later.... I think the SMS centre must've been living in the past or something.
It was very confusing, because although the text message itself made sense, I couldnt remember where in the conversation it would've fitted, or indeed imagine the context it would've been in.
Mind you, she was a really fit girl so it didnt really matter;)

Have you seen the size of these things? Putting them in any kind of robot would be kinda stupid.
:)
"Here I am, brain the size of a planet...made out of lego.."
I think you'd have more luck with the nano versions of these gates. But good luck trying eh
... just as long as we don't get a little lego man instead of that bloody paperclip I don't really care
.. well at least they could recycle the methane produced for their fuel cells eh?
;)
In such a confined space it will probably be unbearable on boxing day morning until the filters kick in
Everyone hold your breath now!!
mmph
mmmmmph... gaak!

Gargling and dribbling? Something I'll definately do before I die.
Heck, I dribble most of the time anyway.

Nah, all we need to do is to deploy skynet.

You have to watch translations in these things... sometimes "bring forth" can mean different things.
Anyway, good point well made - quite frankly though we're here and thats good enough for me.
I hate to be a party pooper:

Quite right too.
