What I personally found really cool is that hydra (small, multicellular aquatic organisms) appear not to undergo Senescence (biological aging, i.e. they do not get 'older' and will not die of old age). When I first read about it I thought 'awesome', and maybe the key to prolonging life, or at...

What then? Keep in mind all electromagnetic radiation is simply waves of photons (that's right, the only difference between say radio waves, microwaves and visible light is the wavelenght). The fact that light has no mass is in this case irrelevant. That is because while photons do have a...

The Commander Keen series (the early ones, my favourite is number 2). This was around 1990, but damn they were great games.

Sometimes I've been that guy. The most memorable occasion was on combat arms, when one time I charged into the enemy base, emptied my assault rifle (buttload of kills), emptied my sniper-rifle (short range, again buttload of kills) and then emptied my pistol (again lots of kills). At this point...

Dunno, whiskey maybe? (Wasn't Johnny Walker Red Label his favourite?)

Winston Churchill.

Hey this one I know. Marie Antoinette right? As for the others you mentioned, no idea. Anyway here's my 2 cents: "There is hope for the future. And when the world is ready for a new and better life, all this will come to pass. In God's good time." Shouldn't be too hard, please don't...
