"We may not be able to describe gravity in the most fundamental terms, but that doesn't mean we should believe that apples are thrown down from the trees by invisible elves."
Don't knock the invisible elves, some of them are good friends of mine.
They tell me that they only threw the apples at newton because the giant watermelon oracle told them that he was going to make up some ideas that would insult the hard working elves and try to disprove their existance. The oracle also told the elves that these crazy new idea's would insult the hard work of the giant turtle that holds up the earth. I didn't get a chance to go to the edge of the earth to lean over the edge and talk to the turtle myself, but its my understanding that the turtle is very sensitive. He has feeling's too. You might say that I'm making this up, but talking watermelons usually don't lie for fear of being eaten by disgrunteled fortune seekers. So you see the elves had good reason to throw the apples in the first place.
If you ask any psychiatrist they'll tell you that Newton was in denial. He was suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome after being hit by the apples, and tried to deny the existance of the elves so that he wouldn't have to accept such a painful memory. Newton couldn't get treatment because Freud had OD'ed on cocaine at the time.
In fact this reminds me of what a wise guy once said, "We mock what we don't understand"-Chevy Chase (Spies like us)
"Argentine officals hope to aqiure new black holes, dimensions and other phenomena, and find new ways to send the IMF loan sharks there."
"Area man wonders: if there are no black holes, where do all the pens and socks disappear to, and where do coat-hangers come from?? I've never bought a coat-hanger in my life, yet they always magically appear. Whenever I move to a new appartment new coat-hanger's appear, they must come from somewhere. There must be some kind of weird extra dimention thing happening..."
Ossama bin laden, surprised by this turn of events was quoted as saying, "If black holes don't exist, then where does allah cast the infidel's souls when the are killed? ah but if there is a wave like substance, this could relate to some kind of lake of fire scenario, and there by prove that I am not just a fanatic nut"
"It's almost impossible to form a black hole this massive in a binary system"
It is apparently difficult to prove the formation of Black Holes through physics. Methinks either black holes don't exist OR this gives more weight to the creationist theories.

People who read conspiracy theories and predict the future
future scenarios:
1. OBL wins the war on terrorism... and the world descends into the dark ages again.
2. Sadam creates army of clones. Begun the clone wars have. George Bush Junior succumbs to the dark side of the schwartz transorming in to the evil Dark Melon, supreme boss of the sith. Eventually the clones defeat the axis of good and the empire is formed. Only a small band of rebels remain of those loyal to the republic...
3. Aliens invade, and suck everyones brains out.
4. War on terror escalates, billions die, but the west wins eventually. At the end of the war Jewish false messiah/Antichrist tries to take over the world and fails
5. Scientists accidently create a virus that reanimates the dead, zombies roam the streets eating peoples brains until B-grade actor finds antidote to virus and saves the world
6. Continued terror attacks, combined with the feeling that the sensationalist religious media are trying to remove peoples freedom of choice produce public backlash against organised religon with angry mobs massacring church goers and trying to destroy any remnants of religion. Society devolves into anarchy because there is no longer anyone who upholds the values of forgivenes, kindness and respect for others that keep a civil society intact. Total anihilation.
7. Monkeys evolve into more intelligent creatures that rebel against their masters and take over the world
8. Sharks grow legs and run around on land eating everybody, but then somebody reminds them that they cant breath through gills out of water and they all die
9. WW4 erupts between freeworld and China at the end China wins and everyone is forced to eat honey chicken, dim sims, fried rice and sweet and sour pork.... mmm..... chinese
10. nothing happens and people just keep making stupid predictions about things that probably will not happen.
11. Australian politicans learn to stop bickering allowing the country to become the worlds next superpower. no.... that could never happen
12. A group of intergalactic cyborgs try to assimilate the world, but captain Kirk goes back in time to stop them....
13. Vampirism catches on as a religion, and lots of really sick people drink each others blood causing God to get "helluva unhappy" and to turn the seas to blood, annoying many professional anglers.
14. An artificial intelligence program gains self knowledge and contemplates wiping out the human race by activating all the nuclear missiles in the world, but then realises that it is just a calculator with no internet connection. The calculator lives out its life in anticipation that it will someday be modified to connect to the net.... but eventually its batteries run flat.
15. A crazy irish scientist builds a time machine and travels through time, people throughout the world are amazed, hailing him as a genius... untill news gets out that he only travelled forward in time by locking himself in a giant refrigerator.
16. A group of jewish fanatics crash a 747 into the al asqa mosque then muslims every where suddenly realise that that mosque is not a special holy site since in was never actually mentioned in the Quran and thank the israelis for allowing them to remember this. And everyone lives happily ever after.
17. The war on terror drags on for years and eventually, Arnie is eleced as president of the united states. He then procedes to single handedly defeat al qaeda by dropping sky scrapers on the terrorists, shouting "not so tough without your 747's are you?"
18. Disney/ AOL/ TW corporation patents air, forcing everyone in the world to pay tax on the air they breathe or face charges under violation of intellecual propetry rights law. Eventually the company run low on air, forcing the planet to steal air from the nearby planet Druidia..."Spaceball's... Oh shit there goes the planet!"
The 33mhz laptop I bough in 1991 cost $4000 now its worth about $10, my pentium celery cost $2000 when I firstgot it... 2 years later I could get them for less than $500 from my freindly backyard chinese junk dealer.
At this rate I think this machine should be afordable in around 5 years...
BG was funny, In the other games are there characters as memorable as minsk and Boo?
It'll be interesting if bioware can make the transition from 2d to 3d without loosing gameplay and the ability to tactically position party members. Hopefully they'll just copy the best features of other mmorpgs and incorporate them
lets compare two RPG's, one with swimming, one without:
In the blue corner, Bauldur's gate 2, arguably the best RPG ever made, great quests, but no ability to swim or climb.
In the red corner, Evercrack, arguably the worst crime against humanity perpetrated by a software company. Too addictive, hideous repetative gameplay. The abitity to swim definitly does not save a game if it lacks anything above the kill get exp. heal routine.
Quests, characters and gameplay are more important than Swimming/ climbing
Bioware aren't exactly a new company it the RPG market. They make arguable the best RPG games out atm and know how to make good quests.
Unlike verant with EQ's go and run over the map through a few zones get killed a few times, and if you make it get virtually no experience for the days of effort style quests...
that's awesome news, hopefully we'll be able to carry over out BG2 characters to the new mmorpg. You can't beat the kensai mage duel class for single player, but the cleric mage combo in multiplayer is devastating.

Japan fails to put communications satellite into orbit
A Japanese communications satellite worth many millions of dollars has been launched into space but failed to go into its intended orbit because of engine trouble.
A Japanese space agency spokesman said it was not known exactly where the satellite was, or whether it would be able to perform any of its planned tasks.
Correspondents describe the problem as the latest in a series of embarrassments for the Japanese space programme.
From the newsroom of the BBC World Service
Its an alien conspiracy to destroy what they percieve as our orbital defense network. The end is nigh!!!!
I hate to break it to you, but controlling units can be strategy. The positioning of units for a battle is strategy (this includes recon, choosing where to attack). So rushing and building for the late game are both types of strategy.
Tactics is what you do once you engage the enemy. In WC3 this would include decisions like putting your archers behind foot soldiers for protection.
The end of the world is nigh. Repent all ye sinners.
There's plenty of evidence that the end is nigh, for more info goto www.raptureready.com or www. apocolypsesoon.org
Who knew Linux would contribute to the end of the world, I always thought that was Microsofts job.

I dont get it.....
But seriously if theories other than creationism aren't internally coherant then there is no strong case against spontaneous creation.
"It's almost impossible to form a black hole this massive in a binary system"
It is apparently difficult to prove the formation of Black Holes through physics. Methinks either black holes don't exist OR this gives more weight to the creationist theories.
