Arghhhhhhhhh, this topic has moved on. Quite some time ago, in fact. GWB is at best minimally involved in anything that's being discussed.

Please read the topic before you post next time.

...it's dragons are much like the kind depicted in mythology except about 300 feet larger.
mammoth type creatures used for food

Welcome back, arghhhhhhhhh...

All of this is impossible. If the moons can align to where they cause apocalyptic tides, how did life ever stick around long enough to get established? The same goes for the meteors and volcanoes... nothing should have survived on that clearly blighted continent.

The moons you've proposed, including the one with mini-moons of its own, seem highly unlikely. I'd think that the planet's gravity would pull those asteroids out of the one moon's orbit, causing them to strike the planet and nuke all life.

And the dragons... how does such a beast stay alive? It would probably have to spend the better part of any day eating.

In a word, Ouch. In four words, in before the lock.

Some christian rock is actually pretty good... I was honestly surprised to see that Relient K was a christian rock group, and I still enjoy their music. I just subconsciously bleep the word "God" when I listen to it... :D

And I wholeheartedly agree with Alo's "Message rarely trumps aesthetics"... some music would honestly be better without the lyrics, or would work just as well with gibberish for lyrics. The overall sound is what counts...

I tend to feel the same way, but only when they're preachy. But then again, that goes for anybody of any group who thinks that they're right and nobody else is. Closed-mindedness gets on my nerves, as well as people who offer to try to convert me or "pray for me" (with the intent of getting me saved). I too am an atheist hippie nature-lover with a semi-liberal political stance, so I tend to be irked by the more uptight neo-fundamentalist types.

Generally, I'm fine with christians, and they're fine with me. As long as nobody tries to "save" anyone, everything's fine. :D

For instance, I get the feeling that I'd be intensely annoyed by any of the people who pay for their shows to air.

I envy you for your career choice.

I'm stuck in a full-year intro-level pre-med-weedout chemistry class, all in order to meet some requirements for Environmental Studies. The class is unpleasant to say the least, because we started with quantum mechanics and have just now worked up to thermodynamics. I feel like it's about 80% physics, which annoys me to no end. (And the course is seriously built to thin out the huge numbers of freshman pre-med students)

As for the practicality of any of this stuff, unless you're going into a seriously quantum-intensive job (of which there seem to be very few), it's nearly worthless. I, personally, will never need to figure out the wavefunction of a frog, I'll just need to be able to count them.

Heck, KE=(1/2)m(v^2) is arcane enough... how often will any of us need that in real life? It's just an interestingly-compact way of supporting the bigger theories, most of which are even harder to think about.

(Now I've got myself wondering... does the wavefunction of a small frog change when it croaks?)

Be at the next chat, and we'll help iron it out (provided we can wrench the conversation away from the downers). Or just PM/AIM one of us, and we'll be happy to help.

Since you appear to be honestly interested... HERE.

Spend a while reading those topics, and see if your brain doesn't explode. Best strategy is to just ignore them, honestly.

Specifically, read THIS. Try not to think too hard about it.

Self-centeredness versus cooperation... there are those who warp entire stories to fit their character, and there are those who adapt their character to the story everyone else has agreed on. I'm certain there are better words for it, though.

OoC: I'd prefer FF to post, because otherwise Sequoia's going to spend an awfully short time unconscious... but I can start working on something nonetheless. In fact, it'd also help if Nazgul posted, because I was under the impression that Cain was coming towards our half of the party (until Thralni diverted him).
