Canada criminalized "hate speech" including the Holy Bible.
Yeah, but it's Cananda they're talking about. Odd, I always thought it was a card game, or some yucky thing girlies get in their toilet parts, but there you go - live and learn.
Media coverage of the game in the early days was pathetic. They were always so intent on looking for a scare story that they couldn't see what was going on right in front of them: players working together in a creative hobby.
Well what did you expect them to make up stories about, teh intarweb hadn't even been invented[1]!
Actually, IIRC, it seemed to alternate between RPGs and heavy metal music (Iron Maiden seemed to be particular targets), at least in the UK during the late 80s. Ee, them were the days.
[1] well it was pretty much unknown outside government & academia.
I agree. I forget who it was (I'll guess Sartre) that said it's not finished when you can't put any more in - it's finished when you can't take anything out. Well, I suppose it would have been in French if it was him, but you get my drift...

Ridiculous, whatever will you suggest next? Telephones that work without wires? Automobiles that can shift gears themselves?
Beyond that, how many wives names do you think you can fit in the "spouse" space, provided on most forms.;)
There's probably a good reason for that - it'd make a mockery of immigration policy if one person could bring a boatload of people in with spouse visas.
plus if you managed to break it up all the little bits would have the same total velocity as the original asteroid
The velocities of all the little bits added together might. You may need to allow for their mass too. It's late. But anyway...
Imagine a cannonball, and the same amount of metal made up as grapeshot. The CoG of the grapeshot spray could pass through you, but all the individual balls miss. If the CoG of the solid shot passes through you, I suggest the effect might be a little more severe.

No, they'll just look intelligent compared to the staff.
Is that a piss-take of fundamentalist hysteria or is it for real?
[1] Whatever that is in your Earth years, hu-men.

I for one welcome our new bluehawk streetknight thunderracer team overlords!
Presumably he was referring to the laughably weak state of the Turkish lira - there's about 1.5 million to the dollar.
Do I have to do all the thinking round here?
Roughly what percent is any of that your business, you jack-booted RIAA nazi?
I've read "Lucifer's Hammer", I would recommend it highly.
That's if turtles have willies and ears. Otherwise, nasal sex.

LOL! That's one heck of a clit on the girl!
