Black Death 'kills al-Qaeda operatives in Algeria' - Telegraph That's what they get for not having proper medical supplies. Makes me think of the War of the Worlds. Too bad they can't flee to Venus.

I would've given him a different game like Simcity. What did he think he'd do if he killed both parents? What would happen to their house and cars? Did he think he could keep crashing at his friends' all the time? Where'd he get his food?

About those pictures of supposed pieces of wood on a mountain, they look like they could just be the rocks of the mountain, including the closeup because rocks can have layers that look like wood. Those pictures you say is Nibiru are really that of the star V838 Monocerotis, which is about...

Can't wait. :wiggle:

The doomsayers also say that the end is related to the sun being over the galactic equator on the winter solstice in 2012. Thing is, because the sun appears half a degree wide from Earth, it had already been over the galactic equator for a bunch of winter solstices, being the most centrally...

Yes, they saw fluid on the ultrasound.

The Constellation program isn't making new shuttles, but stacks like the Saturn V and Apollo plus boosters. The crew launcher will be the Ares I and the cargo launcher will be the Ares V. The Ares V is going to be more powerful than the Saturn V and the most powerful rocket ever. :shock: Then...

If Tousi won't say the SEE sign for park, I'll just look at the big yellow SEE book at my parents' when I am there for the holidays soon. :D One sign I saw is the letter P across the forehead that an ASL teacher used.

Drove home from work at 5pm and couldn't see the lines on the roads. Good thing I didn't hit other cars or go off the road into the trees, rocks, ditches or the Connecticut river.

Went to work around noon when it was not snowing, then came back home doing 20mph in a 50mph zone without being able to see the lines on the road and feeling the car wanting to go off the road if I got too close to the edge. I had to back up and burn rubber to get over the sidewalk into parking...

washingtonpost.com For this kind of dinosaur, they found male dinosaur bones around the nests and also compared the mass ratios of adult bodies to egg clutch mass for the dinosaurs and modern animals. The ratio best matches the birds of today that have fathers taking care of the nest. This...

I thought they claimed it was December 21st because that's the winter solstice.

General News - Tumor in Colorado newborn's brain contained foot Looks like a fetus in fetu. :eek3:

I brought paper and pens and they've all been nice about writing. I got the apartment I am in now because I both emailed and called on relay. It was good I called because the email was in the junk folder. I think I mentioned me being deaf in the email as a reason why I'm using the relay service...
