You should check LFT is really coming with that pay rise before you go spashing out on a wikipedia. Perhaps this is something that you should look into yourself. http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/3982/redsu.jpg Pic kinda related

It's a Hitler quote. He might have been a bad un but I don't think even he'd try to reduce humanity to that.

People gaze fascinated at one or two familiar superficialities, such as possessions, income, rank and other outworn conceptions. As long as these are kept intact, they are quite satisfied. But in the meantime they have entered a new relation; a powerful social force has caught them up.

To the 62%; consider... I don't know if anyone saw the recent 'Horizon' titled; "Who's afraid of the big black hole" Here's a relevent clip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t6VmtSejKY&feature=PlayList&p=0B99C06A39C4D390&index=4 So a singularity can't exist and of course, no one has ever seen a black hole. The only problem, as I see it, is in Physicists letting go of a failed model, instead of trying to tweak it ad infinitum. Of course they dont have the benifit of the likes of Sherlock to learn from... Others have given them fair warning about the chosen path... Hannes Alfven believed the problem with the Big Bang was that astrophysicists tried to extrapolate the origin of the universe from mathematical theories developed on the blackboard, rather than starting from known observable phenomena. He also considered the Big Bang to be a scientific myth devised to explain creation. Alfvén's views followed those of the founder of magnetospheric physics, Kristian Birkeland. At the end of the nineteenth century, Birkeland proposed (backed by extensive data) that electric currents flowing down along the Earth's magnetic fields into the atmosphere caused the aurora and polar magnetic disturbances. Others still, gave out clues... Hannes Alfven, Margaret Burbridge, Halton Arp, Sir Fred Holye, Eric Lerner, Anthony Peratt, and a host of other respected scientists have found what I believe is the answer to all of these long standing questions in cosmology. Scientists refuse to accept their work because it would overturn just about every long standing theory of cosmology. Everything from black holes to the big bang would get trashed and replaced with interpretations of observations based on known properties of charged plasma acting in a vacuum.

How do they judge the long term effects that may only surface years in the future? and why if there is such little risk, were the companies making the swine flu vaccine given immunity from any prosecution if anything goes Pete Tong. Sometimes even one hit of these things can prove something of a setback. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mScGC7nFDxM&feature=player_embedded

Sherlock Ever since you went and brought up a few of the practicalities of being gifted with a superpower, my cravings for such things, has been going into something of a tail-spin. I wake at night now in a cold sweat, with Spideys uncle Bens words echoing in my brain "With great power comes great responsibility" Not just the risks of friction burn from super fast speeds have become a worry to me. Now when I hear of invulnerability; I think of when Monkey stole such power, then found himself stuck under a mountain for hundreds of years by an angry budda. If I start healing the sick how will I ever be able to rest knowing that people will die because I decide to take a break once in a while and should I draw an age limit on those whom I pull back from the brink? If I became Superman, would I be able to show restraint in meddling in the affairs of man, zipping off to sort out whatever individual or army or real life super power that got my goat. I could not say for sure that the Whitehouse, the Pentagon, No-10, Buckingham palace or even the Vatican would make it past lunchtime on day one of my new gift. If I was offered one and chose super strength, what would the powers that be make of such a being as me being around; I imagine meetings in some inner government departments, with words like "danger to public", "potential weapon", "secured for analysis", "dead or alive" and "dissected" being passed around the table. I could opt for something more mundane, like total understanding of any technology or the power to levitate cats could be a laugh but again I would have to live with the awesome potentials I'd passed up. It's a minefield of worry-bombs, this fairy godmother, power granting threat and I have hung up a doorsign saying 'none today thankyou', at least until I can further ponder the full ramifications of such an event befalling me. Comic books are few and far between these days; although I did, not long ago, order 'Judgement on Gotham' so that I could revel in the nostalgia of seeing Batman get roughed up again by Mean Machine Angel, Judge Death and ol Joe Dredd himself. the Marvel & D.C oldies that i saved from my childhood with the then thought of earning vast sums of money off them or to pass them onto my own kids someday and kept in pristine condition, are (now that those someday kids are here) stored well out of the way and being protected from them. Favorite comic book characters...Slaine, Johnny Alpha and Judge Dredd are the big three. Marvel good old boys Hulk and Spiderman were long running favorites. Superman because he was Superman although the guy himself was a bit of a boring goody two shoes. One of the earliest favorites, was Rom, the space knight who started my interest many moons ago and still holds a special place. While real world idols tarnish so easily a space knight never loses his sheen. I'm all nostalgiad up now. I may have to unlock the vaults and remove a few from their individual plastic folders this weekend, to let the young uns see (from a safe distance) what it was like to own a true comic and not the over priced pamphlets of adverts and pish that fill todays shelves.

Icepick; You ask me to go on holiday with you, you get my birthday wrong, tell me I'm all grown up at the same time as encouraging me to behave disgracefully then attempt to get me into bed. (** mod edit - let's not get personal Koy **) Please refrain from bringing your odd ways before me; the lulz you seek will not be found here. And since you brought it up: You do know of course that he hated the hammer scripts so much he refused to hardly say a word in the films. Perhaps it's just the memory of the dashing figure he cut in his big black boots that hold him in your mind or the way your mommy would squeeze you tightly when he appeared on screen; perhaps she squeezed a little too tightly for your own long term good. Consider the quote you use concerning Psychiatrists and think of the implications within.

I like Sponge Bob squarepants and an occasional shot on the x-box as well. Such things can help prevent one turning into some Buzz Killington, rambling, boring old fart type. Know what I mean? You don't have to answer that btw COMPUTER, delete Emergency Medical Hologram Damn... Ah well, worth a try.

I seen the film about 1985; if that counts as recently. Sorry; I must need new batteries in my sarcasm projector. What I meant to say is, of course I've seen the bloody film but Tina Turner or any Mel G are unlikely to be in my location. The term is used because our whole modern world exists in the post-apocalypse of times gone past; who now keep the past alive, not in the form of ritualistic spoken "tells" which hinge on the return of a messianic "Captain Walker" as the kids in the movie do but as the religions, legends and myths that we all grew up to misunderstand, carefully misguided by those who would wear a funny hat and various others who hide behind symbols because of the potential and the profit in continuing such lulz. Your Avatar (Sanskrit word for "a form of self") is of Richard Woolsey from Stargate Atlantis, played by Robert Picardo, who back in 1981 played the part of Eddie Quist in 'The Howling'. Eddie Quist was a close relative of T.C Quist who was recently rethrust into super stardom as my Avatar. I don't watch Stargate Atlantis, I don't like the name icepick239 and Robert Picardo has a bad hairdo so Eddie it is. And so are you... Eddie. a peerie holiday does sound nice and thanks for the offer. Tell me when You've booked it for us and pick me up for the airport. P.S bring money

I don't keep up with Tina Turners career or any of the spice girls either. My dental issues are not a problem, for all but a couple of nights in the month.http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/1789/64904828.jpgThe exact opposite in fact, of your big baldy napper situation Eddie.http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/7773/robertpicardo2.jpg

Put down the gun, and let the marching band go. We'll play it off as a prank.

I've hardly touched a drop I'll have you know Eddie http://www.retroist.com/2007/10/15/the-howling-1981/ http://www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=13814

Eddie?- izat you? http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8339/picardo.jpg

I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

That's a load of sh*t.

You don't love the desk; you just love desk. You may have to resort to love carpet, or a Brazilian, or Chinese girl or something weird; if you met them in the bathroom of a K-Mart and made out for hours, before parting ways, never to see each other again. Although we're pretty sure that's not love.

this... The best piece put on Shetlink to date.
