I have a dog that can sing Elanor Rigby just like John Lennon. Send me €9.95 and I'll send a recording of it.
This is essentially the deal they're offering.
I suggest you look into pareidolia. Try the Wikipedia entry on it or EVP.

I am curious how you can be so sure you've checked everything up. For example; take the Flood.
There are trees alive in California today that were standing BEFORE the dates the Flood is meant to have happned. The Great Pyramid at Giza and the Egyptian civilisation were in existence hundreds of years before the Flood and carried on through the dates of the Flood without interuption.
These are facts.
But your belief is based on the assumption that such accounts are literal.
How can you claim you've checked up on things if you're not even aware of simple scientiifc or hsitoric fact?

The Origin-of-Life Foundation, Inc. The Secret $1,000,000 Prize
by Deputy Dog infrom http://www.scienceagainstevolution.org/v9i11f.htm
the secret $1,000,000 prize
one of the best kept secrets of science is the origin of life prize sponsored by the origin of life foundation, inc. when we first ran across their web site (www.lifeorigin.org), we thought that the offer of one million dollars to anyone who could propose a plausible theory for the origin of life was just a slick creationist trick for showing that the emperor had no clothes.

LOL, keep it up. You say 'I don't have to prove anything', yet seem woefully ignorant of how much you prove with every post on this subject.
Pretty much everyone on this thread can see that, but of course, despite the fact you've not done anything other than advance criticisms it is painfully obvious you don't even understand the refutation of, you're still convinced you're right.
And I thought hooberus was a tough act to follow...

I need to lose weight. but HOW?
by Sirona ini've gained a lot of weight recently.
i really need to lose some.
now, my diet isn't the problem as such....its the excersize part.

Eat less, do more.
DON'T DIET.
Just eat good quality (as little processed) food three times a day, and control your portiions if you have lost the natural ability to know when you've eaten enough (something that happens to many people).
Then grit your teth and exercise more - of course it's boring but it's the only way. If you get out of breath speed-walking the dog, walk a little slower so you don't become winded and allow your body to get used to that effort level before going faster.
Don't expect over-night results, don't set an unrealsitic target weight, realise that if you are in a sedentary job you'll need to be exercising hard enough to feel a little breatheless 3 x 20 minutes minimum a week, or longer periods of less intense exercise.
Oh; does your weight gain match a change in lifestyle? Stress can often cause an increase in weight (due to Cortisole), that's just one example.

Did myths get inserted into real events, or did real events become mythic?
I mean, at some point there was a bloke who saved his wife and kids in a flood. It may have been quite a big flood, and inundated their 'world'. But we know through little things like trees alive today older than the Biblical Flood, and big things, like the Great Pyramid at Giza (which was built before the Biblical Flood), that there was never a Biblical Flood, either at the possible points in time, or on the claimed scale.
I'd say the evidence is that rather than a real record becoming inaccurate though the insertion of myths, a real event was given a mythological slant over the centuries by the culture holding the story. Afterall, why should the Jewish culture be any different from all the other cultures that did the same thing. Most claim to have god involved, either they are all right or none are; those who claim any particular one is right ignore their choice (what ever it might be) is likely just as flawed as those they attack.
You are right by the way - as was the poster who said something about it being hard to make names up. Why should a patriarchal misogynist bother with a making up a woman's name?

I think opportunity to use Maths is an important factor.I was terrible at mental arithmetic until I worked in a bar. I'm nowhere good as I was as that was 7 years ago.
I can multiply and divide, subtract and add, and use and understand all the obvious extensions of that like percentages.
Big numbers I use a calculator. Repetative operations, I use a calculator; anything complex goes in Excel.
If I didn't have a computer or calculator, I'd be far better at more complex problems. And waste oodles of time doing repetative ones.
If I ever had a reason to differential calculus or quadratic equations, I'd have to re-learn it or use Mathmatica.
Younger people may have never gone through the phase where they became habituated to doing simple maths as they now are surrounded by machines that do it for them. Complex manual maths is now only done by mathematicians and some scientists, and even those people often use machines because it's quicker or simpler, or just easier.
If 'we' with maths educations in or before the seventies had never had to use what we learnt in our lessons, we'd be pretty much the same.

That's a brilliant story! I love it!
I think multi-day music festivals probably provide the best example of icky bathrooms.
There are two types. The porta-loo/porta-potty is perhaps the best of the two. A plastic cube with a seat - some additionally have a urinal in the corner, and a drop into a holding tank. Some even have a manual flush. If they're not cleaned and cleared regularly they end up with mountains of poo rising over the rim of the seat. God only knows how people add the upper layers... Smart Bombing? I saw one particularly high one decorated with a flag at the summit.
The other type is the trench toilet; metal cubes with a hole in the wood you sit on, and a trench below. I've always thought the trench an ideal holding pen for anyone caught menacing or attacking a woman. They actually are often the more 'pleasant' option...
When you go back to the real world, white porcelain and running water are fascinating...

... sweet freaking Jesus... enough to make someone opposed to the death penlty want to administer it... scum, he and his wife... but putting their children into a caring (hopefully non-JW) home is far kinder for the kids, and locking the parents up for the rest of their natural lives is actually far crueler to the parents than turning them into crispy critters, so I'm all for it...

Apple Imac VS Dell
by pratt1 in.
i am currently shopping for a new computer and i am very interested in investing in an apple imac - intel.. since i have only used and owned dell computers that is compatitable with windows i am worried that i will not have access to all of the programs and systems that i normally use.. has anyone else made this transition, or are there any apple users out there?
what has been you experience with apple?

Unless you have to buy now, wait until you can buy an Intel based Mac that comes with Apple's Dual-Boot facility.
This means you start and run Max OS-X, or start and run Windows XP (and Visa whenever that arrives). Best of both worlds.
If you do anything creative on your computer, you might find you LOVE Apples to bits. On the other hand, Windows is useful for it's office suite.
If you can play with a friend's Mac for an afternoon, you should be able to decide; if you don't like it, a Windows box will be cheaper, no point in getting a dual-boot Apple if you'll never use it as an Apple.

I've enjoyed sharing this with people too; it is so hysterical there's sound evidence some numb-nut took the Onion seriously and started a fundy panic over a kiddie book. But of course, I would say that as I've read the books HAIL SATAN!! Who said that?
