    I have never tried to explain to a date why tires are not round. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've never discussed tires on a date.

    I love Dilbert!

    I think we got onto the geometry thing because Chuck tried to make a point by making a patently false assertion about geometry. Since I considered his point to be entirely invalid, I though it relevant to point out that his geometry example was wrong as well, and that plane geometry didn't even apply to the world of physics. He disputed my assertion, and so we went on and on. Arguments have a way of doing that.

    But I do find the counterintuitive elements of relativity and QM to be quite fascinating. Much more so than the ludicrous assertion that an anthology of writings dated from four thousand to two thousand years ago can be considered an authority on anything other than how the authors viewed their world. If anything, the Qur'an is more recent, and should therefore be considered more authoritative, and Norman's Epistle to the Americans (Including Canada Under Free Trade) is more recent still, and therefore an even more authoritative source. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce Norman's Epistle here due to its inclusion of sexual references and the F word. But I can say that it is the gospel of the Doorknob Religion, which believes that god is a door knob.

    AA says that your "higher power" can be anything. It can even be a door knob. Thus the inspiration for Norman's Epistle. But since Norman was a sex pervert, his Epistle is not suitable for reproduction here.

    So, apparently next Saturday at 6:00 pdt this is happening. One of my friend's ex-wife left her home in Los Angeles and is now in New York. When asked whu NY, she answered, since I am not one of the 2%, I wouldn't understand. Why is it New York and not Los Angeles or the Vatican for that matter? Since I have not read the Bible carefully I do not know why this is. Shouldn't Jesus appear at the Vatican first? Can someone explain.

    ^ why at the Vatican? Why your friend went to NY? Have not a clue but it didn't come from the Bible, nor did May 21st (no one knows the day or the time only the Father).

    Only 2%? That's disappointing. That's hardly enough to enjoy missing.

    Reminds me of that country song.

    I think it's NY because that's where this crackpot is based out of. Makes me hang my head in shame to live in the same city as him.:(

    NY has a long history of religious crackpots. James Jesse Strang is a good example:

    Wrong question. The right question is "Can I have your stuff?"

    Some would consider that a disadvantage.

    Wrong question. The right question is "Will you sign your stuff over to me now? Once you have raptured, I won't be able to prove ownership of your stuff.":D

    Yes, yes, and make sure you give them a dollar in exchange.

    But it wasn't funny...
