One trip to Singapore, where gum is banned, I smuggled some in and was chewing while walking around town. I soon noticed people looking at me strangely and it finally dawned on me that it was because I was chewing gum! Kind of like the way people wo…

I don't think this thread is going all that bad. As a biologist I find it interesting to read how others interpret evolution. I get as upset as anyone here when creationist types force their religion as science, but at the same time am fascinated by…

For those here looking for the cheapest of cheap prices on cameras it is best to read this article first. For some reason the camera business has always attracted ripoff artists:

The real corruption here is that many of these "security guards" are coming from the special forces, people the US taxpayer have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars training, but who are now getting out the military so they can make many times th…

I used to work in Somalia collecting plants. One night while camped out and preparing specimens I kept feeling something running over my bare feet. I assumed it was a mouse, but finally decided to check it out. I was fast as hell, but I finally caug…

In regards to the Japanese hostages my wife, who is Japanese, has been reading on forums in Japan that there is a lot of suspicion that the whole thing has been staged by the 3 involved. Supposedly one had bragged on his website that the 3 would mak…

The frequency of showering for me depends on my sweat output. In winter if I am not working out every other day is fine, but in summer no way. If I am in a tropical place that is very hot then 2 or 3 times a day is the norm. Being of northern Europe…

I haven't had a chance to see the frontline episode, but came across this article in the NY Times today: Encounter: The Rwanda Witness Seems Canada needs to added to the list of guilty parties, although that is kind of a stretch. I spent …

If you read all the conditions there is this little gem: Quote: This offer may be combined with the Apple Impress for Less rebate. There is no mention of any "Impress for Less" rebate anywhere on Apple's site. I guess we will find out later w…

While I am optimistic that IBM will be able to keep ramping up the speed of their processors, I have find these discussions disturbingly reminiscent of what was said at the time the original powerpc processors where coming out. There was lots of rep…

Having spent 3 months last year taking care of my mother as she died of lung cancer caused by a lifetime of smoking, I am not as tolerant of puffers as I used to be. Every time I see someone light up it brings back the memory of watching my mother t…

No worries mate, these dudes have it all figured out!

The problem with cougar is that panther, cougar, puma, and mountain lion are all the same species. Apple is using a black panther for OSX.3 which are actually leopards or jaguars with black fur instead of their usual coloration. So I guess they have…

As a biologist I have been meaning to add to this excellent debate for awhile, but every time I had something to say some one else (usually Kickaha) has expressed it better than I could. I have read a few of the books written by creationists and …

Years ago, before it descended into anarchy, I worked in Somalia for 4 months doing a biological survey. This young Brit I worked with was keen on one of the two sisters who cleaned our house so wanted to take her on a date. To our surprise she agre…

Lots of people speculate in currency...probably even more risky than the stockmarket. You could just as easily keep the dollars and if the pound went back down you would in a sense gain money...but only if you moved to GB. This is not just an acad…

Back to the original point about what can be done to differentiate the Mac from el cheapo PCs. What is the Mac that took off because it was different? The iMac of course. It was different in two big ways: it was an all in one design and it had color…

Primarily I am a bum with a backpack with just enough money to spend years traveling around the world. To get that money I sometimes use my zoology degree to get jobs working for the National Marine Fisheries Service collecting fisheries data on the…

I was not suggesting that SDW or anyone else should not give their thoughts, but that his opinions should be based on facts (easily checked using Google) not exaggerations. This forum would be about as interesting as reading the dictionary witho…
