Yes, the use of Atomic weaponry had absolutley nothing to do with preventing the spread of communisim, that would have been caused if the Russians were the ones to claim mainland Japan.

Knuckle cracking is caused by a rapid pressure change in a small vacuum that appears in a joint as it is rotated to the extreme of it's movement range. A number of studies have been conducted as to the tale that it is a contributing factor to arthritis, including a doctor who cracked every...

This December/January just gone I was rock climbing in Redrocks, Las Vegas. On the first of Jan I saw in the new year on the Vegas strip, and then did a multi-pitch climb called solar-slab. Far below my climbing ability I was able to breeze up it and just enjoy it for what it was, a beautiful...

I was quite obviously taking your point and blowing it out of proportion to serve the point I was making.

From what I remember they used much of the same equipment to detect it as they do in luminescence dating, i'll see what i can do about finding the exact article around here somewhere, but you will probably need access to a collection of recent journals to read it as well, i'll get back to you.

Well in all fairness, America is just wildly misrepresented, merely as a result of statistics. Your population is now so large that it has a proportionally larger number of douche bags, the dawn of global communication has just led people to draw conclusions from evidence given.

Now, don't worry, this isn't yet another topic about whether or not the members of The Escapist believe in the ideals published in the Origin of Species. What I would however would like to know is people's thoughts on the reception of Jon Amiel's new film Creation, or in fact lack there-of, in...

I really don't understand people's propensity towards believing that having something supernatural beyond our world is comforting? I mean, by all means believe whatever you wish, but from what I can see, people use it as some kind of get out clause, desperately clinging onto the belief that...

According to Canadian standards i'm an alcoholic, but apparantally so is every one else that i know so i think that say's more about the standards than anything else. Truth is, alcohol is more a part of Irish culture than anything else and thats what causes the stereotype, but frankly we could...

Hence my massive generalisation comment :) I've lived in the UK for some time, and met some amazing people, people that i still regularly keep in contact with and go out on the lash with. However, from my experience more often than not your average joe is a selfish bigot. A country that, if you...
