Didn't David Willis do something about this? Oh yeah, he did, and more than once: http://www.itswalky.com/d/20000914.html http://www.itswalky.com/d/20000915.html http://www.itswalky.com/d/20041111.html http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040214.html http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040215.html But what do I know...

All of them, Sylvain, all of them.


How else is he going to demonstrate the principles, without a few object lessons?

EDIT: He, not she. I must have been thinking of Dr Pegasus, or something. Or maybe it was just a typo. Either way, my bad.

Of course, in this case such evidence is impossible, at least in scientific terms, because of the fundamental unfalsifiability of the claims. But most people - including most scientists - don't get that part, any more than someone like Dawkins understands that science - for precisely the same reaso...

"But as the animals look from Napoleon to Pilkington, from man to pig and from pig back to man, they find that they are unable to tell the difference." The only difference I see between them is that Dawkins might be willing to change his mind in the face of overwhelming evidence. Might. Depends on j...

Heh. The only place back in Norwalk, CT that had any of them was a head shop, too. I know this because I went looking once, while visiting family about eight years ago... Actually, even in Berzerkeley, there were only four or five places that carried them. Oddly enough, it was often easier to find i...

Damn, reading this thread makes me wish that Skelateens hadn't gone under. I could really use a Brainwash right now, or maybe a Black Lemonade. And if one were to play that game with my own 'art collection', you wouldn't have to worry about alcohol poisoning - you would drown long before the booze h...

schol: well i am curious. have you always felt like this? Eh? To be honest, I'm not sure... I don't think so, but... well, let's just say that I had enough reason not to feel very much in touch with my body from an early age. When I was about six or seven, I'd had corrective surgery on my legs inte...

I've got (AFAIK) a full archive of Spinnewebe's version of Dysfunctional Family Circus, and online versions pop up from time to time, like this one or this slightly different one (I can't guarantee that it will still be up when you try to follow the links; for a sample that's likely to remain availa...

it is "this isnt my body! let me the fuck out!!!" Hmmn, I've often felt trapped in my body, but not to that degree, or for those reasons. It's more that I don't feel as if it is a part of me; it's just a vehicle I ride around in - a poorly built and maintained one at that, and one which I have only...

The Sharers in A Door Into Ocean use a chrysalis-like piece of biotechnology for major physical changes (like sex reassignment, though this is a special case as the Sharers are normally an all-female society). Maybe that's what you're remembering? I haven't read that, so no (I'll have to look into ...

Good fortune in your surgery. (Personally, I'd still want to wait for a TF gun, or at least some sort of crysalis like (IIRC) The Culture uses... but then, my interest in the subject is purely a matter of curiosity. Still, I can picture the conversation: "Hello, The Body Shoppe? I was thinking of a ...

Bizarre. "Radio Shack Piano Bench" does indeed bring up GGC in Google, though not until about three pages in. Even more disturbing, it's the very first hit for 'Amish Losers', though that's easily explained by the Sexy Losers parody to the GGC Art Gallery by that title. I can only conclude that 'AK4...

The second thing worth mentioning, the idea that it's "ridiculous" for this to be genetic, without intending to be harsh, only shows an insufficient understanding of genetic behaviours. Your supposition that if it were genetic, it'd be gone by now is demonstrably incorrect. The only way they would ...

Even though I do not agree with it, I believe that Larry Niven's position on this would be worth mentioning here: that people who intentionally intoxicate themselves (or refuse to take anti-psychotic drugs for known and treatable mental disorders) are responsible for their actions while intoxicated ...

Would you all please stop talking partisan nonsense? To hear you folks talk, you'd think there were substantial differences between the two halves of The Party. There aren't. The differences between the Dems and the GOP are about as deep as tinsel, which is also how flimsy their platforms are. The o...

Well, it's sort of hard to study when you're starving, broke, have no access to much more information than the name of the country you're going to, and/or are being shot at when you're leaving your original home. Not that this is true of all or even most of the illegal immigrants today, but there ar...

I think that this is because people who speak english as a second (or third) language often try so hard to get it right that they have a WAY better grasp of the language than native speakers. I have witnessed this myself with exchange students. This relates to an old joke about US education, and th...

Happy Halloween!
