Yes, you really shouldn't have. The time it took to write your post would be better spent by exploring the concept of humor and culinary habits.
(btw, I'm a total mix of nationalities & ethnicities involved in both world wars on eastern front, so if you need somebody who's allowed to make fun of those events...;) )
Who knows, perhaps the manufacturer of the group you rather like, Sony, might be still the last hope;). Sony Ericcson seems a bit undecided where to, launching new WinMob, Symbian and Android devices. Throwing WebOS to such bunch wouldn't seem to be that much of an overkill, I guess;). One can even imagine they're the ones to whom Palm will get sold...
So, using the safety and comfort of modern societies (and lying to oneself that you're "sovereign") plus the goal of contributing back as little as possible.
ESA / Arianespace did not develop manned spaceflight capability; and yet they have very large chunk of satellite launching business (with 50+% of geostationary ones). Even when their manned spacecraft will show up, it will be probably a modification of unmanned ATV.
(note: I'm pro manned spaceflight, if done well; just sayin'...)
Hm, interesting question; OTOH children of parents who are very distant, as far as ethnic background goes, are supposedly more likely to be healthy, etc. Even though in this case the nuclear DNA is bound to be a mix od two sets which would have to be "matched" (if that indeed occurs) to their local mitchondrial DNA; but the mix has to cooperate only with one original set of mtDNA.
And since it greatly affects methabolism, it's one of the most important traits of an organism. Certainly can affect one of the traits you list, height.
To be fair, our current modern times are in large part also a byproduct of social reality which was born during so called "dark ages" - a times with many distortions to be sure. But also times when social structure was remodelled, braking away with stagnation of late antiquity; times of great progress...which ultimatelly gave way to agrarian, scientific, industrial and information revolutions. I can't be certain what next few centuries will bring, but IMHO don't expact "dark ages" (colloquially understood). If only because big faiths and ideologies seem to be in similar situation now, when the world is becoming much smaller, to where "pagan" ones were in the past. Something new should show up, something more workable; a major shift at the least now that modern "tribes" are in constant close contact with each other.
BTW, I have my sig (which is a quite recent addition) will work...;)
Unlike hot-vent extremophiles, it's hard to argue that these bacteria could be the source of life as they live in hydrocarbons, which are the result of a not-yet-fully-understood process involving dead organic matter.
Not quite; you can find a lot of hydracarbons beyond Earth.
Not only Catholics BTW - also Orthodox (or Eastern churches generally), Anglicanism, also Lutheranism; yes, the mechanisms of what supposedly happens vary, but the essence remains the same.
Even better, such blasphemy laws (when in so called "civilised" word) are usually written in a neutral way, served as part of freedom of religion. Which is of course legal nonsense because virtually every single religion hurts feelings (that's how blasphemy law is worded at my place, I kid you not) of other religions...
That's just for show of course, such law applies in practise only to most entrenched (and wishing very much to stay that way) faith.
The push to control (well, "destabilise" would be a good word, too) sexuality of adolescents is probably a very usefull adaptation for a religion, I imagine. Perhaps if you're made to fight, supress such potent and integral force in you (and at formative years of your life), it increases the chances you will never escape it, bend yourself to value it for lack of options (what's done...), pass it further, etc.
Actually, we don't have a definite answer on how life started on Earth at all (if it started here). For all we know now, it might as well have been in such tar pits. It might even have been quite hydrophobic initially. Almost certainly oxygen-rich enviroment wasn't a friendly place for it, and look where we are now...

Maybe not that big of a difference...remember, it's related to WW1, there were Germans involved.
PS. They were the evil ones.
They're one of the very few things stopping "respectable businesses" (of any kind) from dumping such stuff wherever it's possible.

Just don't listen to the music under the umbrella of RIAA members, simple.
They don't want people buying more movies or music; they dream for return of times when people were buying only from them.
They want to be free doing what they want, operating from "land of opportunity"?
ITIM not a single volcano, but a deity which might be the closest to them in the only true mythology.

Behold! Bow under the wrath of Loki, heretics! Renounce your faith from the far lands and return to truthfull ways of your ancestors!
(Loki the trickster; those are just tricks, you haven't seen nothing yet...)
That might be true also with closed software, per se. Are beancounters successful in convincing anybody that, say, web browsers are a non-starter?

Mitochondrial DNA is also child's DNA...

Thank you; hm, also since deivore sounds mighty attractive, I might go in an hour (or so, I guess) to nearby church just fur lulz. ;)
Though mixing Greek and Latin seems to be a part of taking over the world in some cases...
Deityphages is even more bizzare...

Ahh, I missed good old MAD ;>
(well, won't really happen...most religions seem to be recently in informal cease fire; most survivable state given the circumstances)
You know, for full picture you should include at the least Jesus or deity from Old Testament...why you chose not to?

"Think of the children!" would recently seem to be blaspheamous for too significant part of Irish religious "elite".
Though maybe not, taking various meanings of "think" into account...

It's everywhere, not just in our "tiny micro speckle of the universe"; it's what you get when first and third most abundant elements meet.
