This thread started out interesting. :(

Unfortunately it was started by Tim who has a boner about LOL DINOSORES too, so he lacked the requisite outrage in order to get it back on track.  :sleep:

Anyway, re: Fermi Paradox:  What if all intelligent civilizations eventually develop their own version of 'the Matrix' and that's why we don't hear them?  Maybe they're all living in a virtual universe and have no interest in the real universe?

I haven't read a science book since 8th grade. I remember when Jupiter had 9 moons, you whippersnappers!

I think that would make you the oldest member of our board since 10th moon was discovered in the 1930's.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

somebody found the "edit picture" function!
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Siege, shouldn't these be in the "I'm drunk on Miller Lite" thread?

I randomly had a case of miller lite in my fridge. Never got more than a polite buzz. :(

Hopefully Siege does write a book based on his own experiences.  Then he can sell the rights to Hollywood, with Will Smith cast as Siege.  Then Siegy can do the circuit convention and meet losers who cosplay as him.

Well he said he had 18 of them in a sitting. Sounds pretty excessive to me.
