Hitchens - Mortality is just finished, so I went straight for the next thing in the larger-than-life pile of books I should read at some point and found God,No! by Penn Jillette. Seems like a semi-autobiographical book, and with a guy who has basically lived carny life in his youth(and...

As someone who doesn't know a damn thing about geocentrism, how the hell do you explain this as a planetary trajectory, when it's rotating around earth? From what I think I understand about gravity, the objects revolve around the centre of the mass. So wouldn't this kind of trajectory either...

Re: ** STICKY ** Funny Pictures v2: "OMG NEW THREAD!" Editio So my collection of funny/fitting anti-religion images grew too large, and I started another album for them. Here's Religulous, Season 2. Updates every friday with 3-6 new images I've been able to scour off the web and found...

I agree. This was great, well put together and edited all around.

For proper feedback, I'd wish for a rendering at least double that size, preferrably even quadruple. Double the size you're thinking of rendering the final scene. But I'll comment from what I can see. Shadows are looking good. Not a lot of complete blacks, which isn't very natural looking and...

I had a few back & forths on the subject few years back, when a news article of a german cannibal surfaced. The kicker was that the victim AGREED to be eaten. This cannibal was honest, he went online looking for someone who wished to be eaten, and found a fellow who wanted just that. They even...

As far as I know, at least some of the videos were original content with no material from other videos. Some weren't even about any specific person who could be insulted and claim slander or such, but of just random topics. So those videos were pretty obviously falsely flagged, and it's good...

Reminded me of the epic, awesome and all around fantastic XKCD "What If"-blog.

I can't recall where I read about it, but surprisingly enough it was the Thunderf00t video of this that I agreed with the most. Moments after the incident, this woman is alarmed enough to go to the organizers, but when they turn her away, not the police? Bullshit. Seven years after the...

"The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil" I'm always interested in the psychology of evil, what drives people to these things. So far it's been an interesting read about the Stanford Prison Experiment. Next up: Michael Shermer - The Science of Good And Evil

The older material is more reserved, I like the older videos more. The last few I've happened to select featured almost exclusively high-def male models, so I suppose he varies it up a bit. I feel like the videos are always done to the same standards, it's the same kind of humor, quality etc...

I for one was fed up with the perfect posterboy Superman they've got in the previous movies. I do not like the character. I think I've seen them all, but by any measure are they my favorites. Until I saw this movie. I feel it's a refreshing take on the alien and the movie FINALLY shows a proper...

Re: ** STICKY ** Funny Pictures v2: "OMG NEW THREAD!" Editio I'll do a shameless plug for my own collection of religious phunnays. I've been trying to add some new images every friday for the past few months, making a habit of it. Currently there's just over 200 images, publicly...

Prior to the videos he did, which Coughlan raged orginally about, he had several funny clips. At least I found him funny back then. Just unsubbed since the latest dozen or so videos seem to irritate me to no end and I disagree with nearly everything he says. Funny how that goes.

I've been a long-time fan of the anime Initial D. I haven't touched the manga, can't imagine drifting getting translated to paper all that well, but that's besides the point. I've done my own Panda Trueno in Forza Motorsport 4, complete with vinyls, tuning, the whole schebang. All as close to...
