In John Byrne's 1994 Next Men #26, the author intentionally misassigns a Shakespeare quote to Edward DeVere in obvious support for his candidate in the 'Alternative Authorship "Controversy" '. A Richard III quote I believe. As some may be aware, a decade after it's cliff hanger ending we are now...
Where else can I go to for advice, but among the friendly people of LoR.
I've been using the same signature for many years now and I think it's time to change it up. "Super" just doesn't mean what it used to. I don't know where to take it though. I thought of a Shakespeare quote, but can't...
If a sneeze is like an orgasm, is there any correlation between how a person sneezes and the type of orgasms they have?
Also, why is it fine to say 'nosegasm', but not 'crotch sneeze'?
Curious minds must know.

Don't pray for me when I am gone and ashen on the air,
But sing some sombre notes
So that the emptiness within your heart is called into your mind.

I'm embroiled in the classic debate with creationists at the time, but I need to put something to rest for them.
We (the rational) are being accused of having belief whether we accept it or not. The failure here is of course that some beliefs are based on facts. The sun has risen every day for...
My cousin, a really wonderful guy, just got offended at me for calling it a Holiday Tree on facebook.
Concerning that image he linked to as his bumper sticker, I made this image a few weeks ago, but haven't done anything with it because I figure it probably is offensive. What do you all think...
Didn't know where else to put this so I thought I'd drop it in here.
Finally, a grouping that makes sense!
For those less disturbed characters:
And just for fun
Thanks for playing,

When I was a young agnostic first considering the differences between religions I recall being struck by the symbolism of them. Buddhists go for the lotus blossom or a wheel. Judaism has the star and the candles, Islam the crescent moon, Shintoism a bird perch, Taoism the yin/yang ... mostly...
... said the theist. And I reply:
You see God's work wherever you look? Really? I look around and everything I see is a testament to the wonder of nature and natural processes which developed everything which surround us. You think that just because you perceive beauty that there must have been...
I saw this documentary titled The Big Bang Never Happened and it's not what you might first think in that it has nothing to do with creationism. There were a number of very prominent cosmologists who point out a number of problems, namely quasar red shift and the requirement of dark energy and...
Only when the inconsistencies of the Gregorian calendar are pointed out or we take the time to try and determine which day of the week a certain date fell on or will fall on do we come face to face with the problem of the calendar. Even then we're so used to being crippled by its senseless...
How about this under 'questions for theists' banner:

"I'm thinking of deconverting from my lifelong atheism and have been looking at other options. Please tell me briefly why I should choose to worship your god among the many excellent gods available to me".

I've just gotten through another pointless extended debate with a group of creationists and thinking about how difficult it is to get them to understand what I'm really saying. Anyhow, I thought about some of the weak points in the exchange and have an idea, was wondering what you all thought of...
Gentlemen and ladies all. I might need some help with this one.
