    Actually, every few years there's an article about how this or that pr0n, including illegal stuff, has been checked out and never returned. (And, as you know, only Congress members may check out items.)

  2. Lousy? Compared to WHAT, pray tell? on Battlestar Galactica to Return · · Score: 1

    Lousy? It held my interest a lot more than B5, Farscape, or any other sci fi crap this side of a Star Trek series.

    Heck, I may have even liked it more than Enterprise, largely because T'Pop looks kind of sickly and I wanna puke when I see her. (More Hoshi please! Now there's a PoA a man can live with.)

    Lexx and Cleopatra 2525 held my interest briefly, but largely because of the big lipped babeage. Xeenia Seeberg r00lz.

    Ehh, Thunderbirds reruns are more interesting than B5. The only sci fi more boring I can think of are old Avengers episodes, black and white, pre Mrs. Peel with Honor Blackmun.

    What's the logic of these researchers?

    >
    > ...most male supertasters enjoy fatty, sugary
    > foods and tend to be heavier

    F*cking idjits. I would hate to think this is the researchers who wrote results like this and that it's some typically scientifically illiterate hack writer.

    I recall a study from over 20 years ago where fat people tended to like foods heavier in fats than in sugars. Thinner people preferred sweeter foods. This was because fats packed more calories per unit than sugars, believe it or not. Fat people don't sit around on sofas eating cakes and donuts -- they sit around on sofas eating cheeseburgers and pizzas.

    Did they have any other, less esoteric foods you might actually have around the house you could test yourself with?

    I'll never forget the moment when I started playing Quake CTF (the original). I saw someone running by on a dark, small level with the glowing flag waving behind them. The choirs of heaven sang! I now know what all games through human history have been leading up to. Online multiplayer team-based, goal-based games. The mini-epiphany of free-for-all and team deathmatch fell away into boring dust like a Maya Angelou poem.

    I'll never forget standing in one of the rooks of the castle in Tale of Two Cities (?) with the flag, awaiting the return of ours, while [One Man Clan] protected me, popping grenades down into the flag area like popcorn. phumpwonk phumpwonk phumpwonk! phumpwonk phumpwonk phumpwonk!

    Actually, chaos theory demands any changes whatsoever, i.e. any observation whatsoever, would butterfly effect into different weather patterns, different effects on lives, and ultimately different copulations and thus entirely different people and future history.

    And even that assumes quantum probability "wave collapse" upon measurement will collapse in the exact same way each time, even if no interaction occurs. I.e. two identical universes might unfold differently based purely on quantum randomness. (Which is an interesting thought experiment.)

    Indeed, the organism that bred successfully into their 70's (or 170's or 2525's) would be highly successful in an evolutionary sense.

    These are two fighting forces in the dynamic gradient descent of evolution. The benefit of rapidity of successive generations in adapting to changes (both static and dynamic environment i.e. adaptation of your predators or your prey) fights against the evolutionary "wins" of continued reproduction of an individual decade after decade.

    Indeed, the past 20 years have seen a skyrocketting in women having babies (or trying) in their late 30's and even thru their 40's. Some succeed, many fail. Those who succeed pass on their "late baby capacity" to future generations.

    A dozen generations later, I have no doubt you'll see a capacity for women in their 50's to reproduce without drugs.
