Lunar Threads

That's why I don't watch SNL.

The radio host of the on-campus radio station stated that the gunman may have locked himself in a single German classroom and did his damage there rather than moving around the campus like the Columbine Shooters

Then you need Mr. Bungle. They were a side project of John Zorn and Mike Patton during Patton's early Faith No More days, and they are amazing. A textbook example (If that is possible) of avant-garde experimental music. They have it all from thrash metal, to Beach Boys style surf music, to Italian O...

A generation raised on Sex in the City, Desperate Housewives, Maxim Magazine, Wedding Crashers, Cosmopolitan and the wretched list goes on, can we expect much else. Since this however is in New Orleans, or the surrounding area, I definitely have other cultural phenomenon that I believe are responsib...

I'm not denying that English is required for success in the United States. And I'm really sorry that you have been excused of being a xenophobe in the past for your opinions on the matter. However, you need to realize that learning a second language isn't as easy as you think. It also doesn't make ...

Is this really an issue of laziness? It seems to be more about comfort. I know if I had the choice, I would live in a community where the people spoke the same language as I did (especially if I perceived the people who spoke the other language as being hostile to me). Also, this complaint ignroes ...

The 2000 census states that 11.9 million homes were linguistically isolated. Stating that English was not spoken at home or nobody in a hme knew the language "very well". Also, the Census goes on to mention that the amount of linguistic assimilation (to English) varies inversely with the a...

I spent my Valentine's Day with my pipe and my book on Saint Maximus the Confessor, so it was kind of a singles day for me.

It was yesterday in which my lovely lady and I spent a wonderful evening on the town.

I's say the bigger issue here is the United States continual one sided cooperation with Mexican authorities. We extradite an American that at most will get 4 years in jail, while at the same time, criminals that flee the United States to avoid jail (Including Mexican Citizens that are in America ill...

OK, so after speaking with one of my co-workers about this movie I went and did a blind buy, putting total faith in the synopsis my friend offered. And this is the first time in a long time that I was not in the least disappointed in my blind buy. This is Mike Judge's most recent directorial outing,...

ok so I have a question. Can you explain dark energy and anit-gravity to me??? Dark Energy is a hypothetical sort of negative pressure, so in the large scale of the Universe, instead of pulling everything towards itself, it pushes it away, overcoming a matter/gravity dominated Universe. Hence the t...

If you believe in the big-bang theory and stuff, then matter is neither created nor can it be destroyed. It was just all compressed into a tiny area the size of a period. When it expanded, all the energy was released and yadda yadda yadda. Once then universe expands too much, it will begin to colla...

I scored, I got a huge stash of great books. Byzantine Theology - John Meyendorf Maximus the Confessor - Andrew Louth On Living Simply - John Chrysostom The Desert Father: Saying of Early Christian Monks - Collection Confessions of Saint Augustine - Augustine The 50 Spritual Homilies & The Great...

The second one was done like 5 years ago by some guys at theforce.net, it's called "Troops".

My favorite parody is "Store Wars".

"Good" is another opinionated matter. The same thing applies to maturity. The more i talk to people the more convinced i become that maturity and morality are just a couple of things people use to condescend to one another and to justify their points of view so they feel more secure in th...

Popularity on the Internet doesn't always mean that something is good. But I've heard from a friend that Something Awful can be good from time to time. For proof of that we only need to look as far as Slashdot, ebaumsworld, 4Chan, LUElinks, ytmnd. Any time immaturity has an opportunity to coalesce ...

The only think I yearn for more than Sony choking on their own pride and arrogance is EA Games beaing dismantled. But that's another debate. I am hoping that Sony will start to alienate level-headed third party developers such as Konami and Capcom sending them running for Nintendo or even Microsoft,...

Please take your petty red/blue anger elsewhere. It's a moot point in this topic and is unecessary. Thank You. This is an amazing blessing for those two, my friends parents were in Germany and Norway respectively during the war. His own father was running from SS troops in the woods with his friend,...

Here's a low quality YouTube version. The name of the parody is "Ultimate Utopia XXIII"

Well the fact is Phyco, that you can never truly replicate the events of that day that led to the collapse of the WTC. No controlled experiement could ever truly replicate the events of that day, there is just no way to do it. The only way to find truth is to examine the evidence objectively and com...
