It all makes sense now!!!! Such a classic comedian...

So we have these simple switches for Bold, italic, underline, etc but it would be great to have a switch for sarcasm which applies a predetermined font and colour (or some other recognisable sarcasm identifier). Sarcams in text form is often entirely missed (unless explicitly stated with...

The usual lack of details here, but perhaps we can have some fun with it - which person was fighting in favour of God? I'd put my money on the guy with the knife... http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/drunken-dispute-over-god-leaves-two-russians-dead/story-e6frfku0-1225970641569

Interesting bit of news... http://www.news.com.au/world/student-wins-450k-for-mental-pain-of-being-taught-religion/story-e6frfkyi-1225964249497 complete text: I have to say that I find the ruling slightly absurd, although I probably agree that the teacher should be sacked (although based on...

Is it just me or does this seem like a particularly absurd news article title? Perhaps it does exactly what it was designed to do and grab your attention. Can't say I particularly like what they are trying to imply...

I'm really not sure what to make of this and I suspect a really poor experimental method but curious as to others thoughts. The description in the news article seems pretty bad. http://www.news.com.au/technology/proof-we-all-have-psychic-powers/story-e6frfro0-1225956004717 The method as...

I can see this article getting taken out of context by the fundies. Interesting nonetheless. New Physics? Fundamental Cosmic Constant Now Seems Shifty Great quote:

So it looks like Australia finally has a new Government. The only interesting thing here is the the *new* PM is an Atheist woman. If only she was black we could probably have had all the minorities covered. (don't take that out of context)...

Even though Geert has just withdrawn for joining the current (non existent) Dutch govenment, it seems there is an Australian muslim cleric that has already started the campaign for the next election...

Nothing entirely new. http://www.news.com.au/national/creationists-hijack-lessons-and-teach-schoolkids-man-and-dinosaurs-walked-together/story-e6frfkvr-1225899497234 Favourite obvious comment:

Am finding it a little difficult to keep up with the Australian Election details as an overseas voter but Gillard is looking more like a anti-science/environment imbecile. Some comments from the Aussies actually living in Australia appreciated...

4982 Members so far (at the time of this post) - not that 5000 members will hold any specific significance other than being a nice "round" number in our lovely base 10 numbering system... Anyone want to start making bets on the day/time (GMT) that 5000 members will be reached? Of course you...

...Termite mound Buddha is the real deal!

Science again at its best. Some early results from Kepler (sorry - its the only "official" link I can find at the moment with papers being released this month - i think) with 306 candidate planets and 400 more potentials already found in 43 days worth of data. Apparently up to 50% could be...

News worthy? Not really... Funny? Hell yes... http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/six-storey-jesus-statue-hit-by-lightning/story-e6frfku0-1225880143257 Can't find an image of it on fire...

OK - I have been trying to get my head around special relativity. I have had no problems with the basics for a long time but after some discussions I realised that there are some definite flaws to my knowledge. Hoping that someone can help out with an example question. What I was considering...

In discussion with the usual offenders - his quote: For starters he started implying a 3 order of magnitude but I see not a huge variation between the two samples (I mean it's 1 billion years +/- 20% - i don't actually think that its too bad). Can anyone point out and specific flaws? (Not too...
