flimsy moral standards? Lets see here.
If I were to shoot your wife, would you have a problem with that?

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
Nikkiee - I thought you lot were weaned on lager (big silly grin).
I don’t know, not a beer drinker myself. Mostly clear spirits or wine.
Happy birthday, Gill! When I was 18 I was too busy drinking beer and hanging around with friends to think about these sorts of heady things. I hope you are applying to good schools.
Dark Side of the Moon has just been voted (results yesterday) Australia’s favourite album again :)
Led Zepplin vol. 4 came in 7th
I love that album. My copy was stolen out of my car and I have yet to replace it. I do have it on vinyl, though.
Vinyl OOM? We really are starting to sound old. Hehe.
.
Nikkiee - not a beer drinker? What about the volcanoes in the afterlife?
.
Sorry oh noodleness mine’s a dry white. I’d hate to be in your shoes (^_^)
I love dark side of the moon. Im probably the only anarcho-communist, pastafarian, pink floyd fan kid in well, the world
I love dark side of the moon. What came second?
I have been promised that there are/ will be alternatives available. Then again maybe it was just a rumour made up by non-beer drinking pastafarians?
Jack - what the hell is an anarcho-communist? I thought anarchism and communism were diametrically opposed? Still, good taste in music.

Happy Birthday to Gill for next week! (And fear not! You have three whole glorious years of teenness ahead of you (18, 19 and twenteen.)
.
@ Wench Nikkiee - ?!? You cannot spout the biojargon of which you are demonstrably capable and yet be a wee young un. Surely…?
.
@ OOM and Alchemist and others speaking of death. I have, fortunately for myself, never seen anyone die of AIDS. I am sorry for you both, and for the people you knew.
.
But 2006 has been a nasty year. People seem to be dying left, right and centre. My old boss, a lady of 49, is currently lying in a hospice a few days from near certain death from cancer. The last three years have seen her (in reverse order) recover from breast cancer, have a hysterectomy and receive the news that her twenty-something daughter had unexpectedly died as a side-effect of medication (a couple of days before the hysterectomy was due). It’s weird - we never saw eye to eye, but she took a chance in giving me my first real job and now she’s too weak for visitors. And, if I was the believing sort, I’d be praying for her to survive. (Actually, change that: I *am* the believing sort. I’m just also the rationalising sort, and thence follows a lot.)
.
Did I read in Dawkins of the prayer study that showed that people who *knew* they were being prayed for were *less* likely to survive than other groups (people who weren’t being prayed for and those who didn’t know they were)? Elsewhere, I read of the video game created for cancer sufferers to help them visualise fighting the cancer cells, which apparently aided their recovery. There’s a good argument for religion as a productive psychological model to help a person access their own mental and physical resources. But woe betide the person who enforces his/her subjective world-view on another. Science is what we *know*, and we should all share that. What we believe out of personal choice is our own business. We should absolutely *not* do anything to make it a concern for other people.

@ Everyone: I miss you guys. But: This weekend I visited my sister in London Taaan. On Friday I ate spaghetti with meatballs, and today I had a pasty from the Cornwall Pasty Whatever, who’s logo is a PIRATE eating a pasty. There is but one word for this, and that word is Arrrrrrrr.

Oh, while I’m here, can I just voice my own enthusiasm for Dark Side of the Moon? (Always been a big fan of The Great Gig In The Sky, personally.)

“I love dark side of the moon. ”
.
“Wish You Were Here” is my favourite along side the compilation “Delicate Sounds of Thunder’ (or Pulse… excellent videos)
(That said, I’d probably marry the first Pastafarian who’d acknowledge Portishead’s Roads as their all-time favourite…)
J - good to hear from you.
Hi J :)
Almost all of Floyds’s stuff is good, I could never quite attach myself to Atomic Heart Mother, though.
Good to hear from you.
