    This person I work with Blows my mind

    AFAIK, Halloween is a blend of many things... The druids (Celts, in some fashion were druids) had a holiday in which they called "Samhayne" (very many different spellings on this word) in which one of their gods dies. In his passing between worlds, he weakened the veil between the world...

    Hey all, I have a AMD TBird 1.2 GHz processor. I was using an Abit KT7A-Raid motherboard, running PC133 SDRAM Kingston ValueRAM. Last night after work, I got home and found that my computer had just died -- black screen. I rebooted it, and couldn't even get the system to post. I...

    Refurb Hitachi "Grade A" 21" Monitors $179 shipped "Grade B" for $149 shipped

    I rarely ever post in the AT forums, but my experience with this guy has urged me to say something.

    $250,000 if you can provide proof of "evolution"

    Why is it that I have a different understanding of evolution that most people out there? I just had a similar discussion with a friend about evolution... What I understand of evolution...and I still contend that I have a more (if not correct, appropriate) definition of it is: Evolution is a...

    I Have To Discuss SEX... With My Teenager!

    "Feel free to use your right hand." Well, he is the serious type. Somewhat. See, he told me in another language and I had to do a lil improvising to translate it. I can assure you the original speech had very little humor in it -- he meant what he said. I suppose in my translation, I...

    I Have To Discuss SEX... With My Teenager!
