Whut-ever, n00b. The subject of the interdependence of existence on time is going to be the topic of my term paper. 😛

(Secretly I wish there was some source I could plagarize off of . . ..)


i'm wasn't talking about you.

i'm fairly confident the drivel you were spouting was your own

Thank you. I take the ownership of my own personal drivel very sriously. 😛

well, then copy what you've got here so far, wipe your a$$ with it, and hand your paper in with confidence.

See, then the drivel I'd turn in will resemble something more along the lines of something you'd turn in, being that it's your idea and all.


don't do much turning in as a HS dropout, but when i did.... they were some doosies!

As alcohol is consumed, the levels of dopamine in the brain rise, as the levels of serotinin drop. Seratonin is an inhibitor, which causes the focus of thought in on one particular idea. Therefore, it only makes sense that as the human body consumes more alcohol, the less seratonin in the brain, and therefore thought becomes more dispersive and free. Whereas before, thought was secluded to one single idea and/or concpet, thought is now broadened to any and all idea encompassed within the human mind. The limits are determined only by the cognition of the human mind. So why do my thoughts become more free and flowing when I drink alcohol. The preceding information is, perhaps, explanation enough, but I would also point out how dopamine might play a role in this. It is quite possible that dopamine plays a vital role in the lucidity of thought, this would explain why thoughts also become more free during intense periods of emotion, physical execrsise, and physical ectasy when levels of dopamine in the brain are at their peak. This would explain why thoughts flow much like lightning during a sexual experience, vigorous excersise, and sometimes even drukneness (even though this is limimted almost exclusively to myself). Now people usually have a freedom of emotion whilst drunk, however if properly channeled this can be conveyed into a freedom of thought. The manifestation of freedom within the brain is merely determined by how the person determines to react beforehand.

Anyway, now t'is time to return to the argument I was entertaining earlier on the phenomenon of desecularization. It is interesting that mankind is meandering further and further away from the normality of religion. Indeed, religion is a word almost being considered to be synonymous with naievitie. As though religion were a poorly guised attempt to candy coat the world and offer explanantions that simply are beyond the realm of belief. This, however, is not the phenomenon I wish to discuss. I am moreso interested in why man has strayed from the norm of religion and why there are far more atheist and agnostics in this age than before. I believe the reason is simple, mankind is simply offered more explanations than before. In the 1800's, if an American wondered how the Universe was created, he need merely look in a bible.

deviating from topic in essay format is bad. You really should split those paragraphs into seperate essays altogether I think, or solidify the relationship between the two.

No, no it doesn't. Eternity is a concept that's beyond conception. You can't insert descriptions about something that's beyond comprehension; can ya?

All that is nothing but incoherent ramblings of a movie character. /cynical bastard
 
It's 3:42am... I woke up at like 2:50am and haven't been able to fall alseep since. Well I just yawned so maybe I can sleep soon. Right now I'm browsing ATOT and listening to The Shins. I think "New Slang" is my new favorite song. 😀

but mathematics teaches that you can describe the properties of a bounded object as it exists across an infinite span. So if you assume we can comprehend life, then we don't need to describe eternity, merely define life as it exists against the backdrop of eternity.

Yes; but the problem lies with the "echoing" and the "eternity" part. Whatever we do in life is all fine and good, but the aftereffects on eternity, in this case "echoing", is something beyond comprehension because in the phrasing, the OP (and the movie character he's plagarized from) has prescribeing the aforementioned effected on the whole of eternity.

What a whild idea to describe something as pertaining to the whole of "eternity", something we cannot comprehend. Ludicrus.
 
watercooling kicks ass...my cpu is at 30C

and my master boot recored keeps being lost everytime i restart and its pissing me off

wait, that wasnt all that interesting...oh well
 
Aug. 12 Moved to our new home in South Dakota. It is so beautiful here. The grasslands and hills are so serene and picturesque. Can hardly wait to see them with snow covering them. God's Country... I love it here.

Oct. 14 South Dakota is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves are turning all different colors. I love the shades of red, yellow, and orange. I went for a ride through some beautiful river bottoms and spotted some deer. They are so graceful, certainly they are the most peaceful animals on earth. This must be paradise... I love it here.

Nov. 11 Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such an elegant creature. The very symbol of peace and tranquillity. Hope it will snow soon... I love it here.

Dec. 2 It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won), and when the plow came by, we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place. Mother Nature in perfect harmony... I love South Dakota.

Dec. 12 More snow last night. I love it. The snow plow did his trick again (that rascal). A winter wonderland... I love it here.

Dec. 19 More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work this time. I'm exhausted from shoveling. Stupid snow plow.

Dec. 22 More of that white crap fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands from shoveling. I think the snow plow man hides around the curve and waits until I'm done shoveling this driveway, the butthead!

Dec. 25 "White Christmas" my butt! More stupid snow. If I ever get my hands on that idiot who drives that snow plow, I swear I'll castrate him! Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt the stupid ice.

Dec. 28 More white crap last night. Been inside since Christmas Day except for shoveling out the driveway after "snow plow Harry" comes by every time. Can't go anywhere, car's buried in a mountain of white crap. The weatherman says expect another 10 inches of the crap tonight. Do you know how many shovels-full of snow 10 inches is?

Jan. 1 Happy Friggin' New Year. The weatherman was wrong (again). We got 34 inches of the white crap this time. At this rate it won't melt before the 4th of July. The snow plow got stuck up the road, and the butthead had the gall to come to the door and ask to borrow my shovel. After I told him I've broken 6 shovels already, shoveling all the snow he pushed into the driveway, I broke my last one over his head.

Jan. 4 Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on the way back a stupid deer ran in front of the car and I hit it. Did about $3000 damage to the car. Those beasts should be killed. Wish the hunters had killed them all last November.

Apr. 3 Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing is rotting out from all the salt they keep dumping all over the road? Car looks like a piece of crap.

Apr. 10 Moved to Texas. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever want to live in God-Forsaken state of South Dakota.

Good thing I'm not an english major, eh? 😉

(I might get a masters in it soon, but that's a whole different topic)

See, if I was taking french, I'd be wasting time on such a pretentious language. My main interest is in linguistics anyways.
 
A typical energy resolution for 662 keV g-rays absorbed in small NaI(Tl) detectors is 7.5 % FWHM. At low energies, e.g. at 5.9 keV, a typical value is 45 % FWHM. At these low energies, surface treatment of the scintillation crystal strongly influences the resolution. It may be clear that especially at low energies, scintillation detectors are low resolution devices unlike Si(Li) or HPGe detectors.
 
Native to Afghanistan, carrots were known to both the Greeks and Romans. In fact, the Greeks called the carrot "Philtron" and used it as a love medicine--making men more ardent and women more yielding. The Roman emperor Caligula, believing these stories, forced the whole Roman Senate to eat carrots so he could see them "in rut like wild beasts."

Information is a poision to traditional religion. With all types of information at our fingertips, questions follow.

Information on the bible too creates questions on the source.

Strange that thinking and information lead toward a breakdown in "religion" as we see it.
