Evil Genius

I would add "Bungling Bureaucrat" just for your sake psi, except I can't anymore. :wink: By the way, where are all the right-wing nuts? Or are they just afraid to show themselves. Considering Berserk is uber-violent, I thought there would at least be a few gun-toting maniacs out there, esp...

I've recently hearing a lot about how us young-uns are ultra-conservative bastards nowadays in comparison to other generations. I've also got to admit I'm a bit conservative myself, well as far as tax policies and whatnot go. The poll is on a sliding scale (I think) from left wing to right wing. So ...

Apparently Steorn advertised big for scientists to go take a look at their research in Britain around a month and a half ago - from what I gather they're mainly getting scoffed at by the scientific community - but you never know, they might be on to something. Lucky for us Australians, China will st...

Not technically true. Asians in Britain refer to mainly Pakistanis and Indians, while Chinese and Japanese are referred to as Auriental/Oriental (whatever).

Dune is a good read, but pales compared to God Emperor or later. That is when the story gets interesting. Are you kidding? I've also read all of Dune several times and I find God Emperor the hardest to get through, probably because I find all the main characters painfully annoying. However I do lik...

Cut the guy some slack - he did say that his review was poorly written. Besides I'm enough of a realist to know that the reason why I like Berserk is to an extent because of the violence and whatnot. And you've got to admit that sometimes Berserk is a little on the ridiculous side. As far "swor...

Wishful thinking.

Not really, people only mean it as a joke - the only thing is I've heard dozens of different combinations already that it gets tiring having to go through it all the time. At least I don't think anyone is really going to go out and hit me with a car or anything (many of the combinations include cars...

Hey, you got no idea how annoying it is to be a law student. I might have meant that half-jokingly, but when I meet people for the first time, they compare me to <insert vulgarity here> and then tell me half a dozen ways that they're going to kill/hurt/injure me. For a while I think I've heard them ...

Happy Birthday Gaiseric!

Thanks for pointing me to the Final Gear website and all, it might not change my life, but it did lead me to the Top Gear Patrick Stewart episode.

Have a good one on the weekend.

BEIJING, Sept. 29 - Scientists on Thursday carried out China's first successful test of an experimental fusion reactor, powered by the process that fuels the sun, a research institute spokeswoman said. China, the United States and other governments are pursuing fusion research in hopes that it coul...

Jesus f***ing Christ! I'm so sick of lawyer jokes. Especially by business students - business students have no goddamn right - for god sakes it's not like stockbrokers and accountants are that bloody fantastic, white collar crimes are more heavily populated in places like the banking industry than a...

I feel a little sorry for the guy, I guess he doesn't have that much power when it comes down to it, so he didn't have the guts to tell Powell and Armitage to go f*** themselves, like others have done. I would feel sorry for him for the whole condescending Jon Stewart interview - but really, he's on...

I was only half joking about Segal, partly because my brother's a huge fan. About his fighting skills - during his old days when he still looked almost as good as Banderas you could probably have said that he was a pretty good fighter, but seriously, in his last movies, I got the feeling that he wou...

Sorry ddem1 - I don't think that a Steven Segal movie could ever EVER be considered a classic. (By the way love the avatar.) As far as the Matrix goes, Keanu Reeves has the fighting skills of well... Steven Segal. Terminator 2 is a classic given... But no-one's mentioned Die Hard. I still get phobia...

Sorry, I wasn't paying much attention when I was making the post. I'm sure I was thinking something like over-reference to the book of Judas and the grand hullapalooza that got stirred up or somewhat like that. Come to think of I'm not actually thinking that straight now, so I should probably give t...

You can't just blame it all on the gnostics, around that time there was a lot of debate on the words of the scripture and just because particular branches of christianity where wiped out during wars, schisms and whatnot doesn't mean that their views weren't as valid because they didn't make it into ...

It's actually physically impossible for me to watch the lecture at the moment since my ISP has shaped me to a princely 64kbps till the 22nd. Here's my two cents anyway. I've always liked toying with the idea that evolution and creationism aren't necessarily incompatible. Not that I consider creation...

I did mention that I had no money Gaiseric - my car is worth less than AUD$2500 (USD$1800), I won't do anything to it, and I won't change to something better till I graduate. It sucks, and I admit it sucks. Everyone wants something better - Porsches are for pricks and Astons are a bit heavy, but if ...

Hey Psi, I'm a girl dammit! Chicks like cars too!

Thank god for that though, the car looks much better, even if I still hate the plastic fantastic front. And at least I said your car had good build quality and handled well, rather than rubbishing it like Damien's.

Hey angi, so many reasons why you shouldn't buy a Mustang, the Honda Civic is a better choice, but still not a great one. Sorry Damien, American cars, though I will admit that have a lot more power than cars from other countries and sound a lot louder, are terribly designed, often garish (matter of ...

Germaine Greer wrote a stinging article on Steve Irwin right after his death too. What a bitch. And I was thinking of getting her new book as well, which sure as hell isn't going to happen now. I definitely believe in bagging the hell out of someone when they're alive, but there should be at least s...

At the moment, I think that it would probably still be right to call America a superpower, but if you think in real political and economic clout in the world stage nowadays, America is greatly reduced in influence. Though I think they'd like to do a lot more pushing and shoving than they are at the ...
