Just eighty years ago, this was the stuff of science fiction that you might see in a movie serial at your local theater. What will we find eighty years from now, if any of us are still around?

Can you imagine some alien race encountering one of these in deep space? Is Commander Data far behind? They mention an interesting use for these would be as a companion for an elderly person living alone. You don't have to visit your aged parent to keep them company, just buy them this robot as a companion. Is this what our society is coming to?

Congratulations, Sasha! I wish you and your spouse many years of happiness.

Although they've found the genetic Adam and Eve, it does little to support the Biblical idea, since they didn't exist close to each other and probably never met. That means there were others around too and their offspring eventually met up and reproduced, thus proving they were genetically more viable and sustainable. It also means that racial differences can indicate racial superiority/inferiority, since we all have the same ancestors.

Seeking anedotes about gay soldiers who've been discharged for sex
Bill W replied to crazyfish's topic in The Lounge
A dishonorable discharge can be a kiss of death with future employers, if they find out about it. It doesn't always turn up in a background check, unless you are applying for a job that requires a security clearance, but that would definitely limit those types of employment. It could be even worse than having a criminal record. -
The OED is redefining the term 'marriage' so it no longer only defines the legal joining of a man and a woman and will now be the legal joining of two persons.

I can definitely see why this was ban. The problem is, I can't imagine anyone in their right mind who thought someone would actually air this.

When I was younger, I would play any sport I could whenever the possibility arose. The only think I don't do is in the water, because I'm a sinker, not a swimmer. When it comes to watching sports, I enjoy almost all sports, although I can't stand NASCAR. I think my favorites to watch is college basketball, college football and any youth sports or high school sports. I enjoy watching the younger groups compete for the fun of playing the sport, rather than the big salaries.

I love Big Band music. Glenn Miller, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman... it puts me in such a great mood.

I guess he misunderstood the old saying, 'put your best FOOT forward.' Not only didn't he paint a positive image of himself in the letter, instead of using words to make himself look good, he decided to use photos. What a huge mistake. Sad yet funny at the same time.

You need to find the older, treasure laden ships sunk in storms. The others are great for archeologists, but not enough to pay for such an expedition.

Whole Foods Employee Rips Company in Resignation Letter
Bill W replied to methodwriter85's topic in The Lounge
I wonder how seriously Whole Foods took his letter? He made a lot of good points, although some were a bit out there, so I wonder if they'll address the valid points or just ignore it all as the rantings of a disgruntled employee? -
Happy Birthday, Steve! Have a great one.

Happy Birthday! Have a great one.

Happy Birthday, James. Hope it's a great one!

Interesting and I think I've run into some of those people before.

I'm not sure what's wrong , but I clicked on the button dozens of times, both the first time and now and used two different methods to get to the site, but nothing. No music whatsoever. Not sure what the problem is, but it doesn't work for me.
-
Am I missing something? Other than a large rainbow graphic, three dancers and a David Hasselhoff graphic, what does it do? I heard no music and could get nothing to change.

I try to avoid any heavily traveled roads at peak times and during rush hour, but I also hate driving on roads that are filled with potholes or in a state of disrepair.

I'd be willing to bet that would never happen to a zombie. Personally, I think we got a bum rap on this topic. lol

Happy Birthday, Kiltie. You almost got to share it with the newest royal.

I can't wait. Donald Sutherland makes a perfect villain.

Brit Chris Froome wins Tour de France. Another sporting feather in the cap for my British friends.
