Also, where can I get a copy of a Bible that has Jesus creating the world? In mine he doesn't show up until, like, half way through.
I'm sorry, I can't resist. The following references are from an NIV translation that clearly show that Jesus created all things and that in fact He is God.
John 1:1,3,14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
Colossians 1:15-17 (See v.13 to show that the pronoun "He" refers to "Jesus" as substituted below)
[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
You mentioned that Jesus doesn't show up until "half way through" the Bible. I assume you are referring to the New Testament and implying that He is not in the Old Testament. This is far from the truth. While the name "Jesus" doesn't show up until the New Testament, the Old Testament is filled with references to the person of Jesus. For instance:
Isaiah 6:1
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple.
The original Hebrew word there for "Lord" is Adonay. The person (the Lord) seated on the throne goes on to speak to Isaiah in verse 10. Note that John in his gosple quotes Isaiah 6:10 and says that it was in fact Jesus that was speaking!
John 12:40-41
"He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn--and I would heal them." Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him.
Nah, just arm the whales with poison darts like they did the dolphins and give them a fighting Chance. Of course, the whales are a little nigger so you could arm them with mini-torpedoes.
I can see the science team going to the board of directors:
BoD: What's the problem?
Scientists: Well, we need to be able to move atoms and molecules around in precise ways.
BoD: How can we help?
Scientists: We need some funding to build little, tiny trucks to carry them around in.
[long pause]
BoD: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No really guys, what did you need?
Before these banks implement high-tech security, they ought to consider common sense security. How many banks have I walked into where the back of the computers are exposed for a would be "hacker" to slip a keystroke recorder onto the PS/2 port? How many banks have I walked past on the sidewalk and their windows are wide open with no blinds and you can see directly onto the monitor with account numbers, etc on them? How many banks have I called and asked for information about my account and they failed to verify my identity before answering questions about my personal information?
Now teachers will have a REALLY good reason to tell their first graders, "STOP EATING PAPER JIMMY! Didn't you learn when Ralph burned his tongue off last week?!"
You are making cupcakes for a party at which there will be 40 people. Half of them will be teenagers, a quarter of them will be adults, and the rest will be babies. Half of the babies don't like cupcakes, and one fifth of the babies left are too young to eat cupcakes. Half of the adults and three-quarters of the teenagers like chocolate cupcakes, and the rest of the people like cupcakes with sprinkles on them.
I think the chip should perform a different function than tracking for dangerous animals. If one gets out, the zoo ought to have an "Abort and Destroy" button.
Now don't stone me for this, but I am about ten years too young to have grown up with the classic Star Trek. I grew up on TNG and that is by far my favorite. I never really cared for the Classic. However, when I was 14 (I'm now 25) and heard Scotty was coming to town for a Star Trek convention, I was there. I got a couple of autographs, got to shake his hand, and hear him tell stories.
The thing that impressed me the most about him was that he didn't seem to have a self-inflated "I'm-an-American-Icon" attitude. He had a very gentle "grandfather" like attitude and spoke with a soft voice. James Doohan is the man.
My situation is probably a little different than yours. I work for a fairly small company where the dough gets passed around. If someone contributes to a project that makes the company money, they see the tangible results in their paycheck. My little scheme pays off now and then.;)

Sounds like marriage.

How many sprinkle cupcakes should you make?
