Aliens?
Psychic powers?
Mysticism?
Ghosts?
X Creatures (Big Foot, Nessie, The Lake Camplain Monster)?

Do you hold any "fringe" beliefs that the majority of people don't beleive in?

Who would you wanna be?

I'd love to be James Bond, I mean come on. The guy is super fuckin cool, has one of the most exciting jobs. Plus he can kick some serious ass, always gets the greatest toys. Plus he gets laid all the time and always wins in the end. He is the total package, looks, style, and machismo.

Does your choice of music change with the weather? I know that mine can. Usually it changes with my mood, but sometimes, the weather can really affect what I listen to.


Lately, on these sunny days, I've been opening up all the windows in the car and playing the new No Doubt album. Or some Ani Difranco, or Queens Of The Stone Age.
On rainy days, I've been listening to Lou Reed, Tom Waits, and Miles Davis.

If you are having a good sex romp...and someone walks in...or just happens to see you..do you stop? Or keep going?

I dont know first hand but this looks a little painfull.

I'm watching Survivor tonight, and they brought one family member on the show for each survivor, for a challenge. The winner of the challenge gets to stay overnight on Marcasus(sp?), with the tribe.

It was pretty emotional for all of the survivors to see their loved ones after being apart for so long. Personally, I get sucked in by shows/movies like this. Sometimes, I even shed a tear. I love a good story, whether it's real or just a script.

Do movies and tv shows suck you in during emotional moments?

When the hell did everyone start saying this? I never got the memo.

<font size="3">Rockies' physics may be slightly off</font>

The Colorado Rockies need a few physics lessons.


In an effort to prevent balls from flying out so frequently from notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field, the Rockies have been storing them for the past few weeks in a sort of giant humidor. That's not as kooky as it might sound, though the reasoning offered by the Rockies is misguided.


Rockies president Keli McGregor says that by storing the balls at 40 percent humidity they won't dry out and shrink as much as they normally would in mile-high Denver, where the humidity often is close to 10 percent. He also says the slightly soggier balls will be easier for pitchers to grip and harder for batters to hit out of the park.


That's not quite right.


Yale professor Robert K. Adair, author of "The Physics of Baseball," has done experiments showing that baseballs stored at 100 percent humidity, because of the reduced elasticity of their core, bounce dramatically less than balls kept in low humidity.


"A 400-foot home run would go down to about 350 feet," Adair said.


But it's not that simple.


How a ball is affected by humidity is tricky. It depends on how long it is stored and at what temperature. Cold balls travel less than warm balls.


So Adair laughed heartily Wednesday when told the Rockies have been keeping the temperature in their ball chamber cranked up to 90 degrees.


"That's counterproductive!" he said. "I would bet the 90-degree balls go farther. The higher temperature would counteract the humidity."


If the Rockies want to keep the ball in the park more, Adair said, they'd be better off storing them in a household refrigerator at 35 or 40 degrees and taking them out a couple of hours before game time.


"The cover and first quarter-inch would warm up," he said, "but the core would remain cold and you'd have a deader ball."


While a 90-degree room would allow balls to absorb more moisture than at a lower temperature, according to Carnegie Mellon physics professor emeritus John Fetkovich, it's not clear that it would make a difference in how the ball jumped off a bat. More important than the little extra moisture, Adair said, is the temperature of the ball's core.


Adair once tested the cold ball theory in a simple experiment at home. He put one baseball in his freezer and another in a 175-degree oven, "to my wife's disgust," and left them there overnight. Then he let them sit around awhile so that when he picked them up they didn't feel different.


"I just dropped them out of the 2½-story window of my study onto the concrete and the heights they bounced were radically different," he said. "The one in the oven bounced much higher."


A colleague confirmed the results with somewhat more careful experiments.


Tampering with the temperature or humidity of baseballs is neither new nor against the rules. Indeed, the Rockies' experiment has the blessing of the commissioner's office as long as it doesn't change the size and weight of the baseballs.



You can look at some numbers and believe the balls are having an effect. Runs are down at Coors Field from 15.1 per game the first seven seasons to 9.8 last month. Home runs have dropped 1.42 per game from a year ago. The Rockies' pitching staff has an ERA of 3.91 in 16 home games compared with 5.68 in 15 games on the road.


Does any of that mean anything? Who knows?


"I'm very dubious about complicated statistical analyses applied to baseball," Adair said. "The game changes in ways that are obscure to me. And I've studied it more closely than most."

I'm not sure how true it is or if the petition is sarcastic but knowing Political Correctness and all that shit, I wouldn't be surprised.

Quote:Online petition vows to ban The Two Towers

An online petition is urging director Peter Jackson to abandon plans to 'name' the Lord Of The Rings sequel The Two Towers.

The petition, which says the title "is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Centre", claims to have attracted more than 1,200 signatures.

However, many of the signatures appear to have been declared invalid. Many others do not appear to take the petition seriously.

The Two Towers is the title of the second book of JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy and was first published in 1954.


The petition header reads: "When I learned that there apparently was to be a sequel, I was overjoyed. However, Peter Jackson has decided to tastelessly name the sequel The Two Towers.

"In this post-September 11 world, it is unforgivable that this should be allowed to happen. The idea is both offensive and morally repugnant.

"Hopefully, when Peter Jackson and, more importantly, New Line Cinema see the number of signatures on this petition, the title will be changed to something a little more sensitive."

However, a note on the petition-online website adds: "The Two Towers is the title of the JRR Tolkien book originally published in 1954, the second book of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

"The title was thus established some 47 years prior to the attacks on the World Trade Centre towers, and there is no evidence to suggest that Peter Jackson meant anything by continuing the same title other than faithfulness to the beloved Tolkien classics."

You fucking prick!!!

You decide to tour with QOTSA WEEEEEEE, thats fucking great, BUT YOU SOLD OUT THE FUCKING SHOW IN 1 DAY DICKHEAD!!!!

I don't think QOTSA has ever sold out a show in 1 day, and especially not Bowery Ballroom. So now I have to drive to Philly to see you guys play. YOU COCKSMOKER!!!!
