Ok, so who are the Saxons and who are the Normans? I always assumed the Normans were English.

I don't know, Don dealing with an emo teenager in 1969 could be pretty interesting. Look forward to seeing how they handle Woodstock and the seismic shift in pop culture that accompanies it. I'm betting that Peggy will do a much better job at keeping up with the times than Don will.

I thought it was the Scots that wore kilts? Or are Scots Celtic as well? British Isles ethnic traits and ancestry always confuse me. Irish, Welsh, English, and Scotch, never sure which one goes where.

Wow good read. It's nice to see a CERN-level project tackle nuclear fusion instead of the usual obscure crackpots coming out with wild claims of achieving cold fusion. it kind of sucks that it won't be online for another 15 years, but that kind of time scale tells me that they are doing it...

Ya, I'm a Texan and while I do love it for the most part, I'll be the first to admit its got more than its share of Jim Jack, put a boot in yer' ass, book learnin' is for faggot-type morons down here. The politicians are mostly awful, they spend more time kissing baby Jesus' ass than doing the...

I'm not accusing you of doing this, but it is a huge pet peeve of mine when people use pseudo science to try to make the argument that conscience is energy, energy is never lost, therefore our psychic energy is somehow still floating around in the ether and this is 'proof' of a soul. No, your...

Crossbow scene doesn't happen until Tyrion has been imprisoned for Joff's death.

Ya no kidding. I grew up in StinkyArmpit, OK and have weeded out those types a long time ago. It's not hard.

Boston being shut down on a Friday is going to have a very big price tag. Those fuckers are really doing some damage.

Wow, just spent the last two hours catching up what's going on in Boston with this thread after a self imposed media blackout all week. Good stuff man, good stuff. Araysar getting maximum rustled by people calling Chechnyans Russian is my favorite part right now. And are there any youtube...

So what you are saying is that you don't even bother to vote because it has literally ZERO power since both sides are exactly the same on the horrible meter? Even if one side is dumb and the other side is dumber it's still your obligation to vote less dumb. It's not much insulation, but it's...

Ya, we're all the same species. I just can't understand the notion that aHomo sapiensin Bumfuckistan is less important than aHomo sapiensin Boston. Obviously if you have a loved one in the bomb zone then you disagree, but the notion that this is some catastrophic event that is somehow more...

NO SHIT! Please take your own quote, print it up, and staple it on your forehead. Thanks

Hah hah, despite the fact that you call me out on my bullshit, I still think you're awesome. No homo. I'm just now getting caught up on today's events, and I'm glad I can come here to do it. Merlin still sucks though and im sad this didnt happen in Alabama, Has he blamed it on Obummer yet?

Ya I would just put $50 on somewhere and play big, cheap, tournies. Fits my temperment better than cash tables.

That seems pretty gay, even for a gay guy.

Couple of totally newb, non-artistic, generic outdoor shots I took while canoeing this weekend. Looking back, I probably should have waited a little longer for the sun to break the horizon on the camp shot.

What are the options for playing poker online these days? I used to play a lot on FTP and PS until the big FTP scandal and everything got shut down. Played about three years and made a little bit more than I put in. Getting to the final table in a 2,000 man tournament is a pretty big rush...

Luck was worse than John From Cincinnati.

Ya, that article was a stretch. It's not Lost for fucks sake.

I think they did a great job spreading it around in the opener. I do have to say I was mesmerized by how high Don wears his pants, he's definitely prepared for a flood.

It was 3 oclock in the morning and I was pretty drunk. It sounded good in my head. But ya, the last 4 or 5 seasons of 24 sucked and if you liked it then you are a horrible person.

It's such a beautifully well-made show because it IS so complex and nuanced, just like the human condition. It's a perfectly rendered slice of life of the 1950's-1960's era of Manhattan. This is really the pinnacle of post WW-II ascendent America, 'that shining city on a hill'. But what makes...

And then women will stop getting their period. No more red wings bros!

Corbicula flumineaandDreissena polymorphain every pot!

Ya nevermind. I don't want to give any of you weirdos the chance to fuck with my personal life.

POF has been good to me this week. Been txting with a new cutie all day that's different from last night's 'play it safe' fiasco. Going out with some bros tonight for lots of beers and foosball. Invited the new girl to join us, probably 50/50 if she shows, she definitely seems interdasted...

Just got home from a blind/first date at a Doug Stanhope show, lol. Chick was a super cute red headed skinny little milf. Lately I've been asking out a lot hotter girls than I normally troll for on POF so I felt like I should play it cool and do it mostly sober. I got a good vibe, but I'm the...

Key word 'immediately'. It doesn't mean that GMO's have complete immunity, it only means that some random judge can't have a knee jerk reaction and shut down an entire seed crop because some random consumer group, 'Mother Earth Seeds' filed a complaint. The ability to take a GMO to court and...

And that technology should be patented. The genes themselves however...not so much. You are confusing the technology with the resource. The man who patented the first internal combustion engine didn't get to slap a patent on petroleum. It no longer takes hundreds of millions of dollars to...

Ya the delay in getting Golden Rice on the market and reducing Vitamin A deficiency in tens of millions of people rests squarely on the shoulders of the knee jerk, hippy retards.

So i gotta bro that's gonna sell me his Minolta maxxum 5D for $200 and loan me some lenses for the summer. Sound like a good deal and a good newb friendly camera?

What you linked says it OPENED UP its seed sector to Big Ag, it still doesn't say it FORCED the farmers to make the switch. It seems to me if the farmers don't like it then they should go back using old fashioned farm saved seeds, and i see no evidence that they aren't being allowed to do that...

What i get from that article is that the real problem is subsidies. The rest of the article was obviously biased and inflammatory. I need to see some evidence that the indian farmers are being forced to buy hyper inflated monsanto seeds with no option to buy or raise normal farm seeds.

Well to be fair, lateral gene transfer is a real thing and is the basis for recombinant DNA technology. I seriously doubt it would lead to the end of all life on Earth, but it definitely seems like it falls under the 'better safe than sorry' category. Forty years ago, invasive species weren't...

So much this. You just can't have a bunch of farmers out there throwing around glyphosate resistant seeds willy nilly. Especially on these huge monoculture farms. The overuse of roundup ready seeds has created a new breed of roundup resistant weeds. This spirals into even more reliance on...

But it metabolizes into methanol and methanol is BAD for you!

OP, were you on shrooms or acid when you wrote that?

That last episode was amazing. Best thing i've seen on TV since Walt blew Gus' face off in Breaking Bad.

So if I want to cite a Lithose post, how does that work? I'm not able to find that in my Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed.
