    Try reading some of the stories told by people who used to live in NK and have fled the country.

    Why should we believe them? Anybody who wants to leave NK must be a capitalist running-dog and a lackey of the round-eyed yankee scum!

    If you're referring to the first thing Google throws at you, that's a typo. If you look carefully, it uses titbits twice lower down.

    The t variants are used by proper English speakers and the d forms by puritanical nutbags.

    I wondered if someone else had played a prank on him ... posting the story while he was off hiking in Amazon or somewhere where they don't have the interbooks so hew couldn't respond.

    As it is, he made us think he was an imbecile, and now we think he's a liar. I don't see what good that does him.

    Is that supermarket spaghetti actually and literally Him, or does it merely represent Him? Transubstantiation is the word, I believe.

    This could lead to a schism. Wars have been fought over less.

    It's not a boolean variable. I have a BSc, so I'm more of a scientist than Sarah Palin, but I'm less of a scientist than a university science professor.

    If you know what the answer should be before you do it then it's not an experiment - it's a demonstration.

    At least that's what my physics teacher used to say when his experiments went wrong.

    Brian Cox isn't a physicist, he's a musician. And he's destroyed what little credibility he had by hanging round with a rock guitarist and a fat Irish game show host.

    You don't seem to understand what a warrant is. A warrant does not change the law and make the illegal legal.

    In general? No. In a specific case? Of course it does.

    If I go and bundle someone into a car and take him away that's kidnapping. If a policeman does it and has an arrest warrant for that person it isn't. Because that's what a warrant is for and why it exists.
