  1. Re:the name on Stephen Hawking Unveils "Time Eater" Clock · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Time Eater" is a very misleading name. It should really be called a CLOCK GOBBLER.

    At 120 Watts, it should be called the "Energy Gobbler" instead.

    Apparently the sound it makes when the programmable alarm goes off is:

    "Whooooooosh!"

    I'm not doing this to be a dick, or funny like usual, but I think it's important to clarify parent's point.

    These discussions are good, but they do not fit into a science class. Unless any of them can be subjected to the scientific method they way evolution have been of course.

    I'm normally a grammar Nazi and would have fixed the spelling too, but I figure if you're mentioning Sweden you're not a native speaker of English, so there you go.

    I think it's important that people that don't have a desire for Creationism to be taught in a science class need to continue to point out that since it is neither observable nor testable, it can't be science, it can't even be a theory - as evolution, relativity and special relativity are. Discussion of the worlds creation stories should be kept to philosophy and/or religion classes.

    "Linux on its own can not function unless it has the Processor, which is fine on its own without Linux, but wants Linux to be fulfilled in all it does, knowing that it is supported fully by the Processor. The Processor no longer judges Linux for its crashes and bugs, because of the Hardware Abstraction Layer that has come to protect Linux from the overwhelming power of the Processor."

    Thanks, now I'm a Linux convert.

    But honestly, I wish I personally knew more Christians like you, you sound like you could have a meaningful discussion on the subject and understand the logic from both angles. So many people think that the questioning of one's faith is the same thing as an attack of one's faith. You seem like you'd be able to reason the difference. I'm an avowed Atheist, but I admire people of faith that can look at their faith logically.

    Pretty much standard fare at a concert of decent size these days. Even before camera phones were basically standard, people would wave their phones in the air, creating a similar effect to a crowd full of lighters.

    Tungsten was originally known as Wolfram, hence the W, Wolfram because it came from wolframite ore. Wolfram meaning "wolf's foam," so called because the mineral consumed a large amount of tin in its extraction.

    The immoral concepts you learn from them show that YHWH, God, and Alah did not create man in their own image, but in fact man created YHWH, God, and Alah in their own image.

    I wish I had mod points. This is my view of religion too. Given the similar precepts among all religions with exclusion to the deity's moniker, I don't think it's out of line to think that tribal leaders dictated the best behavior desired and that was passed along so long that it went from word to form.

    'Not in my front yard!'

    N.I.M.F.Y.!

    Not quite as exciting as nympho, but then again if they were putting a nympho in my front yard the neighbors might complain. I wonder, could I squeeze that under the code enforcement definition of 'lawn ornamentation' or 'yard decoration?'

    Halloween would be easy enough, I'd just refer to the goings on as what happens when a Sasquatch meets a mermaid - I'd even have the external speakers blasting 'Part of Your World' as the neighborhood children walked by, expecting candy but getting the seeds of a million nights of nightmares instead.

    That's Ed Harris' character from "The Rock" right? Thomas Jefferson said something similar but it ended with "It is its natural manure." Funny how nobody ever includes that part of the quote, is it from fear that somebody will

    I find your thoughts fascinating, Mr. Durden and would like to know more. Can I subscribe to your newsletter?

    Technically that wasn't Tyler Durden, it was our unnamed narrator. Some people (me) speculate that Edward Norton's character's name was Jack, hence I am Jack's raging bile duct, and all of the diaries of Jack's organs, but you never actually find out his real name. Tyler was just a more realized manifestation of his persona, much more so than Rupert or Cornelius. Then again Jack could just be a general moniker similar to John Q. Public or Tom, Dick and Harry.
