I suppose this is humorous: I just listened to the above video. I did not know, even though after doing a search I see it's been cited at EvC at least a hundred times, that the Treaty of Tripoli included the words, "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

T-Shirt
Just saw it advertised on FB:
quote:
Drawing of a test tube:
"If you're not part of the SOLUTION
You're part of the PRECIPITATE"

 
In other news, George Takei replied to the idiotic anti-vaccine whine of "I don't want to be part of an experiment!":
quote:
Too late. You already are part of the experiment. You are part of the control group.

The daughter and male companion are looking to move to Germany to escape the Nazis.

The problem with knowing everything is learning nothing.

If you don't know what you're doing, find someone who does, and do what they do.

My ancestors were Mennonites - German-speaking pacifists - who came to Canada before WWI. They weren't popular during the war so they decided to leave Canada, to "find freedom" I guess.
They moved to Paraguay.

i've noticed this on my xong posts. seems about a week after, certain images, jpgs, etc. get purged from facebook, but other FB pics are kept forever. working on thinking it's whether the pic was posted to a group on FB or directly to your own home page.

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie

If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy

The reason that we have the scientific method is because common sense isn't reliable. -- Taq
