I love England and all of the UK. I found the English to be warm and friendly--much more so than the Scottish and Welsh.

Everything Is Going To Kill Everybody!
by gubberningbody in"there is no shortage of modern apocalyptic thought: some christians thought that the second coming of jesus would coincide with the turn of the millenium, for technophobes the y2k scare was the secular equivalent of armageddon, and most cults declare the end-times every other wednesday (and alternating saturdays), while the new hot apocalypes theory on the block, is based on ancient mayan prophecies, says that the end of days is set for 2012.. .
these are just the current dates, but humanity has believed that we are living in the end-times since the beginning of time.
from the moment humans gained sentience, we immediately thought that everything around us was irrevocably fucked, and that it was just a matter of years - if not days - before the whole world came crashing down around us.

I read the whole thing in two days and I feel great. I haven't laughed as hard as I have like this in a long time from reading anything.
I've got to get the book because I started laughing at your first post.

Being Comfortable with the Presence of Mystery
by man in black ini was reading an article about this subject, and the author was explaining how so many new discoveries in space right now are hard to explain.. these comments were also made:.
livio (the author) also picks up on an intriguing theme left dangling in my lovely easter conversation with vatican astronomers guy consolmagno and george coyne the enduring question of whether mathematical truths, laws of nature, are discovered or invented.
he unapologetically offers his conclusion that there is no either/or answer possible here that mathematics is both invented and discovered.

I've always enjoyed the mystery. Once the facts are known about a particular subject, it often becomes mundane to me.

i was able to better understand myself and those around me.

I didn't know what to make of "People of the Lie" when I read it. For the most part, I enjoyed the book until he started babbling on and on about demon possession. I never finished the book.
