I've seen it. I've been told that the guy who made the video used some sort of trick to slow down the game, allowing him to play through it flawlessly, then somehow saved it, sped it up again, and recorded it.

I have the exact same opinion on cursing in music as I do on cursing in normal speech: there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, unless it's grossly overused or employed as a weapon to belittle others. Curse words are best used as a method of emphasizing a particular point or phrase. When used in such a manner, they can lend a good deal of color and force to otherwise bland pronouncements. I find Ben Folds Five's use of curse words to be quite original and whimsical. To deny that curse words have their rightful place in language is to be a snobbish prig.

And I'm listening to "Live and Let Die," by Paul McCartney.

Stuffed spinach pizza is delicious, and quite popular, I might add. Thin crust pizza is fine, but I don't think much of anything can stand up to stuffed. As for sushi, I find the concept to be rather nauseating and have never tried the stuff, but several people I know, including a close friend, swear that it's amazing. To each his own, I suppose.

EDIT: And Andraste, rice by itself or with soy sauce ( :eek: ) isn't much good at all. You need to eat rice with something spicy and substantial, like Indian samber or rasam. Only Indians know how to do rice right. :D

I hear it. Ironweed, you are quite a bit off the mark. It's not at all hard to learn peoples' nicknames around here. I had learnt them all after only a few days. All Apollyon (or any other newbie) has to do is show a little bit of dedication and diligently read through a few threads. That's all. And this is coming from someone who never even was aware of the existence of these boards before about two and a half months ago.

My ideal pizza is a nice big stuffed spinach, with plenty of cheese, spinach, and a tangy sauce (anyone here ever eaten at a place called Giordano's?). And I always lightly sprinkle oregano and crushed red peppers on my pizza.

Please calm yourself, Apollyon. No one is out to "mutilate" you. Being a newbie does not require you to develop a persecution complex.

Mine comes from "Stughalf the Sword," the protagonist of a story I wrote quite a long time ago. I just liked the name, so I continued to use it, for AIM, message boards and as a general alias. Contrary to popular belief, "Stughalf" does not mean "half of Stug," or anything else for that matter.

I'm sure there have been threads on the subject before, but that's fine. My name doesn't really mean all that much at all. It was the name of a hero character I created for a story I wrote a long time ago. I just really liked the name, so I began using it as my own for AIM and message boards and the like. How did you come up with your name?

And TGM, please don't feel the need to describe how you came up with each one of your hundreds of names. ;)

Thuryl's right. I certainly have nothing against you personally, and nothing at all against newbies in general, as I am myself a newer member. I just felt that your posts employed logic that was highly flawed. As such, I found your almost arrogant confidence in the supposed soundness of your arguments to be rather offensive.

Well, Apollyon, I suppose I might as well add to this smackdown. Your major argument here seems to be that the Genesis gave a supposedly accurate description of the origin of the world and of humanity, thus "proving" that the Bible is, in fact, the word of God and the absolute Truth.

Perhaps your arguments on stars and the like do hold some truth. I am a biology major, not a planetary scientist or astronomer, so I would not know. I would be very interested in hearing what those well-versed in the planetary sciences, such as Schrodinger, would have to say regarding your arguments.

Where your argument clearly holds no water is right around here:

quote:But if there was no God to tell this to the writers of Genesis, then how did they know? For all they knew woman was created first and that she needed a home so the earth was created. But the Bible gets the sequence of events right down to humans were the last creation made. To me, this is compelling evidence that there is a God and that he made the Bible to prove it to us.You rely very heavily on "how could they have known?" arguments, without realizing that they can all be counteracted quite easily. Perhaps, just maybe, humans back then were in possession of a bit of common sense? You don't need to have advanced scientific equipment or techniques to come to the conclusion that the Earth preceded humanity. You just need to have enough common sense to realize that humans need food, water, and shelter to survive. As the Earth has always provided all three to us, it would be obvious even to people living long ago that the human race could never have survived for a second without the Earth providing all of these things to us.

In terms of the passages in Genesis involving woman being created of man, there is absolutely no scientific data supporting such an assumption. How can you claim that such drivel has been proved when there is in actuality no scientific proof at all? To me, such passages sound nothing like the words of a timeless and omniscient God, but very much like those of mortal men, living in an ancient and patriarchal society. Of course, it's only natural that any man brought up in such a society would take it as an unquestionable truth that men had come first.

That's all I can think of to say right now. I'm sure others will come up with many more arguments. Good day, Apollyon.

Pretty much everyone I know who has engaged in statutory rape before has told me that it is great fun.

And I know for a fact that observing the process of ferret copulation is one of the best ways to spend an hour of time that I know of.

Tabasco sauce is excellent with eggs! And most everything else, for that matter. As for BBQ, it's quite good with certain types of food, although I've never tested it out with eggs.
