It was a good read. Plenty of action and nice battle scenes.

Lord of the Rings was better though.

After my fiasco with Sony over my PS3 I'll never buy another product from them again. This console could grant me three wishes and I'd still tell them to shove it.

The PS3 was great right up until we finished watching a blu-ray one night. Straight after it asked me to download an update (the one for 3D when it first came out) and right after that update my console stopped recognizing any disc's. No games, DVD's, blu-rays. Basically bricked. Sony couldn't care less. Basically told me to suck it up and go buy a new one.

At least Microsoft had the balls to own up to their mistake and repair my console for free when it was their problem AND they throw me a couple of games to sweeten the deal.

Come on, don't be too harsh on the poor young fella! :P

It can be tough and make you feel crappy but don't sweat it too much. You're only 15 so you've got many many years of dating ahead of you yet.

Every 3 years the Earth goes through a cooling period called cooling Synergy. Where the heat chemicals that entered through the Ozone from the sun materialize into a gas. beause we all know Solids that cannot be melted can only have Gas as a second property. When the Heat chemicals turn to a gas, the gas is hotter than the normal temperature below the Ozone, and because of that, the difference in temperature causes the Gas to cool. making it so that heat ends up being forced upward toward space instead of being trapped in the Ozone. Then the Ionic purzona particles just send that new cooled energy back toward earth, sometimes evaporating with water to cause rain. So as you can see, Global warming does not exist for that simple reason. The only other alternate left would be the chemicals we put in the air, but those are also foiled by the Synergy. The Ozone has just shrunk TEMPORARILY as it has used a lot of Synergy energy. but it repairs overtime like everything else. So put your minds at rests environmentalists. Shockwave-DASH

I... just... what... buh...

You're arguing semantics. The question is why do they all have 5 digits anyways ? If not all most.

Skarwolf

I'm not arguing semantics. You said all mammals have four fingers and a thumb. They don't.

A better question is, "Why did mammals evolve the way they did and why are their skeletal structures so similar?" Environmental pressures? Transitioning from water to land and back? There's plenty of hypothesis but how do you go about testing them to see which one is correct? So yeah you're right, "Scientists don't know". No one knows but we have some damn good ideas. It's not some big mystery that needs 'God' to be solvable.

if you look at the bones not the flipper or whatever they have the bones are four fingers and thumb.

Even an elephant which looks like a tree stump has four digits and a thumb in there.

Skarwolf

No they don't. The fact that they have five bones extending through the flipper does not equate to 'four fingers and a thumb'.

Horses don't.

My explanation of dark matter and black holes. The math is wrong.

One thing that perplexes me is why do all mammals have four fingers and a thumb ? Scientists don't know.

My theory on how dinosaurs died was not due to an asteroid. I believe with the cycle of earth warming and cooling during a period of global warming a flesh eating fungi / bacteria thrived on dinosaurs wiping them out. Much the same as you hear about people being affected by flesh eating bacteria primarily in hot areas where fungus thrive. I believe this will happen in our immediate future. Places that are sub tropical and souther u.s. will be uninhabitable because of flesh eating fungus.

Skarwolf

I can't tell if you're pulling our legs or what.

All mammals have four fingers and a thumb? Ever heard of a Dolphin? An Echidna? Kangaroo? Marsupial of basically any kind?

Great topic! One that will undoubtedly cause the moderators fits of rage if it gets out of hand! :p

Personally I see no need at all for a divine hand in things.

Look at it this way - Our universe is governed by a set of laws. We know what most of these laws are. They are immutable. If a deity created this universe then it also created the laws. It makes no logical sense for the deity to create these laws and then break them (miracles etc). So if a deity exists it either:

A) Has no contact with us and exists outside our frame of reference (making prayer, religion etc irrelevant).

B) Does have contact with us but obeys all physical laws of the universe, therefore leaving some trace of it's existence (which we have not detected yet).

C) Doesn't exist.

My money is on C, but there are some questions that just can't be answered until we die and maybe not even then.

Are you at the beach? Do you have a sensative medical condition that requires you to go shirtless? No? Are you so poor you can't afford a shirt?

Then no. Don't be a bogan.

Living by yourself is great man. Freedom to do what ever you want whenever you want.

BUT, you have to be aware of a lot of things. Everything will cost you more. Bills will appear as if by magic. You'll end up working a lot more and gaming a lot less. It's really a big trade off. Living with people, especially family, is a great way to get some savings in the bank before you head out on your own. So if you've not got much money at the moment I would suggest sharing a house with someone. If you've already got a bit of a bankroll, then go for it. It's awesome.
