“Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist,'" says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "The Photuris genus of firefly is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
Man, where do you guys get these stories? As a Canadian, I and most other non-elite persons, are very happy with the medical service here. I was diagnosed with kidney disease a while back, so I'm not looking from the outside in, I have first hand experience. They found a problem with a routine blood test, and within a month I saw a specialist, had a biopsy and was diagnosed, and continue to be treated.
You want to see a doctor, there are many options from walk-in clinics, family doctor, or emergency room - neither will have a wait of more than a few hours. The emergency room might take a little longer if your problem is less severe than the guy coming in with his fingers in a bag or something.
They would have dated the rocks these fossils were found in. C-14 dating is only good for relatively recent dating (up to ~60000 yrs). They probably used K-Ar or U-Pb dating, although there are a few more options.
I thought the military already had these, except without legs. They come in various forms, and the different form have varous names like truck, ATV, tank, etc.
It hasn't been awarded yet, and the judge gets the final say on the amount. Plus, I believe, some of the patents have been invalidated since the trial.
That's what photons ARE, packets of electromagnetic impulses.
Gamma rays just happen to have higher frequencies than microwaves or radio waves, but fundamentally they are both light.
To be pedantic, actually nuclear radiation comes in three types: gamma, alpha, and beta radiation. Only gamma radiation is EM, the others are particle decays.
[Cop 2] Beeblebrox, either you all give yourselves up, and let us beat you up a little, though not too much because we are firmly opposed to needless violence, or... er... or we blow up this entire planet! And one or two others we noticed on the way over!
[Trillian] That's crazy! You wouldn't do that!
[Cop 2] Yes, we would! I think we would, wouldn't we?
[Cop 1] Yes, we'd have to. No question.
[Trillian] But why?
[Cop 1] Tell her.
[Cop 2] You tell her!
[Cop 1] You tell her!
[Trillian] Will one of you tell her!
[Both] It isn't easy being a cop!
Really? If the same side of the Earth always faces the sun, does that not mean that the day never ends? Whereas the year is still the time the Earth takes to complete one orbit?
Depends on your definition of day - his refers to one rotation about the Earth's axis, which is not realated to the length of the day-night cycle. See Day for the various definitions.
Take them all down, plus any link relating to the studio, all studio movies, show times, or anything similar.
Make the bastards pay for promotion like they did in the days of newspaper advertising. Charge them 10 million dollars per movie studio, 1 million per movie, and 100k per site to get back into Google's index.
Make sure to include all the listings from shopping sites like Amazon, Ebay etc as well, because they are obviously pointing to the same items.
I looked up the ScanEagle and found it's from Insitu. The company I work for used to operate the civilian version of the the same drone, and I'm really suprised they would not be missing any, as we used to lose them on a regular basis. They are autonomous drones with no operator required - they are simply pre-programmed with a flight path.

Also, taxes are not that different in Canada than they are in the US

Why not two seventy-year-old women?
They'll both assume you're with the other one and he can get to the lab to get some work done.
No those young women are just too wild!
No guns are not banned in Mexico - read the second paragraph.
Apparently his mother did take him to a psychiatrist.

Nuclear radiation IS electromagnetic radiation.
That's what photons ARE, packets of electromagnetic impulses.

I wouldn't trust these people to predict what they were having for lunch today.
No kidding!
Have they increased their prediction of how many computers would be required worldwide? Is it more than five now?
I would insert a picture of a naked cat looking quizzical here, but alas, no IMG tag support.
See what you're missing?
No.... Can't see it!

Well it does tend to shrink when it gets colder, doesn't it?
At those temperatures, it's propabably an innie.
In the Celsius world, people also have an intuitive feeling for the temperature ;D
That might be true, but in this case these temperatures are not found on Earth, so none of us have anything to really compare it to.
No - just that we prefer integers.
Except when you can use fractions - 3/8 inch for instance.
I think all smartphones (definitely Android phones) display an "emergency call" button on the lock screen.
I've has a couple of android phones, and neither have had that.

Oh noes.. the UN might write us a letter telling us how angry they are..

It's the sound the machine in the delivery room makes.
That's my favorite!
Actually that should be 'ping'.
Well, to be honest, the crumple zone was your face back then!
