    During a friend of mine's seminar on The Republic, Unicorn logic prevailed for a good half an hour, it was quite amusing :).

    The Existence of God

    You're correct I've understood your account. Understanding the account of something and understanding the thing itself are two completely different things.

    The Existence of God

    The fault here isn't in the application of reason but in false assumptions.

    Do you shave your pits?

    The fact of the matter is it looks better, smells better, and women like it more. It's not a metro thing, but if you expect women to do it, don't be offended to do it yourself.

    Do you shave your pits?

    It cuts back the stink, a lot, as per Spike's suggestion. Plus hairy pits are gross in general.

    I'll have another computer crunching soon, but then I'll be leaving for school, so I'll lose all but one machine. Glad to see we're making progress.

    Why do all the psycho idiots act as their own lawyer?

    It's likely they will force a legal adviser, but unless he's found incompetent, it is his right to represent himself. And the best answer is, the lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. Which would be compounded by someone with no training and the mannerisms he exhibits,

    Sorry, I just got back from a nearly 2 week internet free treck through Tennesse, Arkansas, Texas, and finally back to NC. Found out my desktop had been off for god only knows how long, and that during the time it had crunched Esko's now well over 10k. Can someone please send me the new...

    Schadenfroh looks good to me. I've been away from the internet for almost a week now, so feel terribly out of touch. Was almost surprised to see that our target wasn't at 10k. I'll be back home with my "farm" sometime next week. Till then, the beers on me and keep crunching.

    Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children has updated website up

    Man, I think I could wait until the sun collapses to see that movie in full. The second trailer was amazing, watching weapon (if I remember the monster's name) in full action like that was stunning. Though, I did find it interesting that they're combining the gun-sword used in FF-8, in this...
