God's Debris

I was wondering if anyone else here has read the book God's Debris by (oddly enough) Scott Adams. I read it not to long ago and was intrigued. Though some of the logic is questionable and most of the science is flimsy at best, it still made me think. It forced me to question everything and defend my...

What did the people of Sodom and Gammorah do to be destroyed? They were generaly a sinful people, God was unable to find even I believe it was 10 people amoung them who were righteous. How about the people of Jericho? What did they do, that they were destroyed at God's behest? God ordered the Jews ...

I know that Christmas is not the most important holiday, but it is celebrated as such by popular culture. The same people who treat Chanukkah so importantly. The difference is that popular cultutre does not ignore Easter. I know that Good Friday is part of the whole Easter 'thing', but for the sake ...

This might be slightly off topic but oh well. I have always found it a bit annoying how much emphasis we put on Chanukkah. I mean its not even a major Jewish holiday. The only reason it seems so big is because around Christmas time everyone feels guilty for not being 'inclusive' enough. If we really...

"What is the meaning of life? It's getting up and doing stuff and going back to bed."
From "The Meaning of Life" by Those Darn Accordians

Historically Important != Important for School. Well, it is traditional. [quickly ducks] Seriously though, this is true for many subjects (math, science, etc.) but for many other subjects it is untrue. Historical importance is very important in subjects like history(duh), political science, linguis...

The Ethan Hawke version, but Hamlet no less. However, I'm watching it not as a choice, but as a project. Which creates a parodox in my enjoyment. BUT, it is good. I never really liked the Ethan Hawke Hamlet, I prefer the Kenneth Branagh version. His beats out Sir Laurence Olivier's mainly because B...

Mike Minolta is supposed to have a relatively large role in the making of the movie, and from the trailer it seems as though they are going to at least partialy follow some of the story line from the comics (i.e. Rasputin). I think it has potential.

[Voices Of a Distant Star]

I finaly was able to see this anime and I was wondering what others think about it. Personaly I was very impressed. I loved the simplicty of the story telling and the visuals were amazing. I can't believe the entire thing was done by one guy. I loved the story itself, as well. But the way it was tol...

very impressive, I really like how the nebulea look, and the planet looks great with the night side lit up.

Might I inquire how this picture was crafted?
