I will be around as i have generally been. I still come here occasionally to read some of the interesting and heated discussions we've had in the past. I guess i'm not much of a forum goer anymore and generally spend less time in cyberspace. Still, the internet and its resources are just too vast to leave behind...

Hi All,
Still remember me?! I had some career issues a while back, so I thought it was best I left the forums to concentrate on resolving them.
Well, I’m not doing to badly now! I have a proper job with even some money to spare. In fact, I now have the money and holidays to visit the country I’ve always wanted to visit...Egypt!!!

Well, i would disagree with much of Larry Moran's language, although he isn't and i don't see him as representative of any institution or academic system. However, the word "flunk", as i understand it, means to fail in a course or examination. If a student studies biology and submits work or exam papers with creationist material, if a graduate hands in thesis with creatio

Larry Moran is an ardent skeptic and athiest and i guess you would want to have that debate with him about his extreme views on flunking religious students and graduates. However, the email you've posted was satirical (unless it was a serious and poor attempt to fabricate some kind of conspiratorial ultra-Darwin establishment within the scientific community) and was probably written by Micha

I was for while, having watched the first two seasons, but lost a fair bit of interest after discovering that the show was going to continue until 2010, with no lessening of the famous cliffhangers and no revealing of what what the friggin' island is all about! They haven't shown the third season in this country yet, but i doubt i'd be sitting through weekly episodes as i did when

Yep, but i watched it so long ago that i only remember a few scenes, the ending, and the theme song which was sung by Anita Mui herself and became quite popular. Now that you mention it, i might dig out that decades-old VHS of this movie and watch it again. Another reason i don't recall much of it is that, being around 7-8 years old at time, i dreaded the experience of watching any movie i t

The wikipedia article on Tupac Inca Yupanqui himself provides some more information on this subject . Following one of the links provided on that page, i managed find this description, which comes from "History of the Incas by Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, Edited by Sir Clements Markham, Translated by Sir Clements Markham":

Hello all, i was browsing through this article today, largely anticipating most of the claims made. The weakest claims in my view are those supported by dubious cultural similarities, while others were downright pseudo-historical like those of Van Sertima or about King Soloman. The claims of Islamic contact are perhaps more reasonable or are at least possible given the descriptions in some of the

As it happens, i really enjoyed Stargate and Independence Day. As high-budget action-packed fantasy/adventures movies, they were entertaining and interesting to watch. In fact, i was great fan of those kinds of movies made back in early and mid-90s. On the other hand, The Day After Tommorrow didn't work for a number of reasons. For one, i can't help thinking that the movie actually took

erhh...what do you guys make of this? I've seen the trailer already and it's quite disturbing to see them talk about the massive, almost conspiratorial, efforts by mainstream scientists to silence proponents of the ID movement and suppress freedom of speech. So i guess this is the next stage of the creationist movement: scoring points with the media and creating as much controversy

Any single distance when turned in to a square will give you a corner to mid-point diagonal that can be used to construct a golden rectangle....Phi actually exists in all squares....you just have to construct one from any single value...

Ancient Egypt
I'm sorry but that's unconvincing.....At step 2, you've basically taken the distance between Khufu and Menkaure's pyramids, doubled it to form a square and then constructed a golden rectangle from the mid-point of that square.....Problem is, that works with any starting distance......

Having watched it again recently, i actually thought it was okay, but i kind of considered it to be more of an action/adventure movie than a historical epic drama, which is the genre i very much prefer. As far as pure entertainment is concerned though, i definitely preferred 300
