Merry Christmas everyone. I was mildly amused by signs they've put up everywhere at the local beaches. Something along the lines of: "Alcohol is strictly prohibited on our beaches and coastal reserves. Property of Waverly Council. Please do not steal." People seem to be abiding by...

So my educated guess from a year back was correct. I have already discussed the terrible main theme. The balance isn't right for Megaton, but it also sounds better to me on low volume. The annoying tinkling probably suites the tangled nature of Megaton. Still unimpressive. The...

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all those who entered, although I don't have time to read them all at the moment. Tucker's seems to be the most competent, but is less imaginative. Kirby's is more engaging, but the background story is too much of a stretch for me. Aaron's is well...

Both a Newtonian and a quantum physicist would be equally dead after being squashed by the Empire State Building, just as a creationist or biologist would be killed by a virulent multi-drug resistant bacterium. Gravity is a fact. Evolution is a fact. Natural selection is a fact. I have observed...

I'll read through this thread tomorrow. I suggest that one should clarify what is meant by evolution, creation, and the relationship between them. I am pretty ignorant about evolutionary theory in spite of my training as a molecular biologist, but I should be able to provide...

'They're all dead.' I prefer 'medicine' to the plural. 'You were all cured and protected!' Cut 'And'. Radiation was involved, so I'm confused.

Looking very encouraging. I hope it goes very well and gets wide coverage.

This particular mob is pretty tame and used to people, as they live next to a beach resort, but was possible if it preferred food to the Word. You wouldn't want to be this close with wilder roos, which can be especially dangerous, such as with aggressive males during mating season. A big roo...

Powerful kicks are what you should worry about. Bumpkin camouflage.

Surprise speech of the anointed successor to the conservative leadership saying he will not contest the next election and will instead leave politics when his current term ends. After 11 years in office with continuous economic growth, the conservative coalition has imploded. I expect the knives...

Many thanks. Great work! It is more effective when you can get the whole picture in one screen at high detail. I wonder if adding people to such a scene would kill the atmosphere? Might work with the right composition I suspect.

Announcement of the final swing for each state in our election today. I'm very happy to see Labor has won, although they failed to displace my obnoxious local member (too many yuppies here), who will probably try to lead the opposition in a few years. Interestingly, the conservatives have...

Looks bad, so I won't bother watching it until it comes around to TV for the references, although I suspect I would regret wasting time on it.

Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre

Good stuff guys. Keep up the good work.

The self-proclaimed Fallout fan would have done well to write a little more about FO3, but it is interesting. I smiled at the shiny, as some have a habit of cynically misspelling it. However, such a Freudian slip wouldn't come up with spell-check as "shinny" is a real word.

There is no such thing as a dopemine gland. Dopamine mainly comes from nervous tissue (such as dopaminergic neurons) and adrenal glands. DMT is not structurally related to dopamine, but is similar to serotonin and can bind to certain serotonin and possibly trace amine receptors. It can get...

This one? http://www6.comcast.net/news/articles/odd/2007/11/14/_67.Million.Pants/ Good. He should never serve as a judge again. Administrative law must be fun. Maybe he'll retool as a dodgy litigation lawyer to get better pay? They should disbar him entirely, even if he is a desperate nutter.
