Even better than Magic, try Lunch Money. It's not collectable so you simply buy the one deck for $20 bucks. It's a great time. A very simple game that's quick to learn and doesn't get old.
He is adamant that there is no God which created everything, yet he points to artificial order which could only be created by an intelligent designer.
"Artificial order" doesn't make God a requisite. The whole point is that if the system is tuned just right, order arises from randomness. If you get enough of the right proteins together in the right densities they start an autocatalytic reaction and life starts to form, and just because there is a way for this to happen doesn't mean that God made it that way. The whole point of this stuff is that a complex system, like the human body or ecosystems or whatnot can best be understood by looking at the emergent behavior coming from individual interactions. Science has become very reductionist (breaking down the genome and trying to find the Higgs boson) but the point is that unless you understand how the parts interact with the whole, you'll never understand the system.
It's like the chinese proverb, a horse plus a cart equal three.
"And it's $50 less for a tenth the storage? "
It's $50 bucks less for 4/15th of the storage. The 40GB ipod is $500 bucks, so that would be $250 less for a tenth the storage.
However, the volume of the ipod (15 and 20 GB models) is 6.1 cubic inches and the 40 GB ipod is 7.18 cubic inches, while the new mini ipod has a volume of 3.6 cubic inches. that means a volume that is either 42 or 50 percent less. And for some people, that's a big deal.
Heisenberg was speeding and a cop pulls him over. The officer walks up to the car and asks, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but i know exactly where i am."
A student forgot his physics homework one day, so when the teacher asked him where his homework was, he replied, "I accidentally determined it's momentum so exactly it could be anywere in the universe right now."
An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician live on the same block one night, a fire starts in each of their bedrooms. The engineer wakes up, does some quick calculations on how much water is needed to put out the fire, doubles the amount just to make sure, tosses the water on the fire, puts it out and goes to bed. The physicist does some pretty good calculations, figures out the exact amount of water necessary, puts out the fire and goes to bed. The mathematician sees the fire, sits down, uses a bunch of Fourier series and figures out exactly how much water it takes to put out the fire. Once he knows the problem can be solved, he goes back to bed.

It's friday, you ain't got no job, you ain't got shit to do, I'm going to get you high today.
