Before this thread turns into another "evolution = global warming = religion = science = just belief" kind of thread, here are a few things I would change: 1. Remove the rabiz gene. 2. Swap the nose size and male organ size genes ... or alternatively, cross with a black gene. 3. Swap the body hair and head hair genes. 4. Remove the mustache gene in females. 5. Reduce the sweat gene in males. 6. Alter the wrist gene so that the joint is more suited for "xhorovats flipping" on the fire. 7. Increase the number of livers gene to process alcohol more efficiently. Hmmmm ... I think that's a start. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Not bad ... I glanced through the first few ... "3. Remove a stubborn screw. Heat with a soldering iron for a few seconds first." Hmmmm .. wouldn't that make the screw larger and even harder to remove? "11. How to remove oil from a driveway. Cover with sand let stand for a few days, then sweep off." Kat litter works MUCH better. "15. Remove road tar from cars. Sodium bicarbonate on a damp cloth." Regular gas (fuel) works wonders. "38. Keep salt moisture free. Put pieces of blotting paper in shaker. It will absorb moisture." Rice (or instant rice) will work too. "58. Remove blood stains from carpet. Sponge immediately with cold water, then use a bit of soap, rinse and dry." File this in the "Duh" category

Upon further googleing, I think this settles it. Respect your elders because God said so. End of story. Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:32 Also, anytime someone older enters the forum and makes a post, all young people should get up from their seats in respect.

Arrogance by definition is a bad thing ... young or old, it doesn't matter: Arrogance = bad.

There are USB wireless interfaces for desktops too ... and what vava said Just make sure the type of network matches ... if you want to connect to an 802.11b network, either an 802.11b or 802.11g (or both b/g will do)... "g" is backwards compatible with b. But 802.11a will not work with either of those.

This proves God is a woman. If God was a man, he would make the whole bra out of that see-through material!

Hmmmmmm .... sounds interesting ... what is a "little while"? Like few minutes or few hours? Are the potatos still crunchy?

Jab Bush? Jeb, Jab, and George?

Damn lawyers @ video ...

God's greatest invention: POTATO Man's greatest invention: Ketchup Man + God = Perfection Have you EVER had a bad potato? I don't care how you prepare a potato, it is always good (bake, fry, mash, grill, soup, dried into chips, etc). Except maybe in raw form. The only other thing I can think of that comes remotely close is the mushroom. I don't think I have ever had a bad mushroom dish (assuming the mushroom is edible to begin with).

Ok come on now ... OF COURSE age is a factor. If I am talking to a 4 year old, or a 10 year old, a 16 year old, a 20 year old, a 30+ year old, and a 60+ year old person, OF COURSE I will take a different tone and phrase my thoughts differently. You just can't talk to a 4 year old, the same way as you talk to a 16 year old. Also, you can NOT talk to a 50 year old, the same way you talk to an 18 year old. That's just how our civilized social interactions go. As far as young people being put down only for their age, that is not a good thing as the others have also said. But just because a person is young, and it's the internet, that doesn't mean that person can all of a sudden start talking to the older people like he or she was hanging out in the back alley of a restaurant with the "kutche" (street) buddies. Also, sSebB, if you want to tell me that as a young person your views about life and matters relating to life are just as valid as someone who has faaaaaaaaaaaar more life experience than you, please, don't bother. I won't believe it. Unless you can tell me that you have seen just as much pain, joy, difficulties, obstacles, having to support and take care of other people (parents, children, relatives, etc), having to watch some very very close and loved ones take their last breath (sometime in severe pain, sometime not so bad), felt the touch of a women/man/(both?) in the most sensual ways, seen old friends drift away and many new ones come and go, met up with old old friends after several decades who have taken very different life paths than you, etc etc etc, then don't expect others to just take your views on life and how things are (even if you think you know it all) to be worth the same as someone that has lived maybe 3 or 4 times longer than you.

I'll reply to your post later this summer when I hit 30. For now, I don't seem to fall in your ageist classification of forum members.

This whole discussion about Jews/Holocaust vs Armenians/Genocide is like someone hitting their head against the wall kicking and screaming about how "kleenex" is not a paper tissue, "coke" is not soda, or "jeep" is not an offroad vehicle. No matter how much one tries, those trademarks are established and pretty much universally understood. So the question now is in what ways can one convey to the average person WHAT the Armenian Genoicde was. To follow on the examples above, if you want to convey to someone that a certain kind of vehicle is an offroad vehicle while at the same time trying to convince them jeep is not one, I personally don't think you are spending your time wisely.

Vava just reprogrammed the lighting to make them a bit more interactive: See video

That's a good question but I don't think of it as a US-Iran conflict. If the current Iran develops nuclear weapons, EVERYONE is screwed so it's a world-Iran conflict. This is really something that I think US is going to wait for world support before taking any actions (not by choice but because the US is already severely strained in terms of economic and military resources and this is just in a chaotic place like Iraq) Iran is not going to be an easy "march in the park" (park = bagdad?) Once the entire world starts putting pressure on Iran, Iran WILL back down. Those in charge are already on fairly shakey ground internally. The people will not tolerate too much of a fundamentalist back-step to the Khomeini era. So to answer your question, I personally think the solution to the Iran problem will come from the inside of Iran.

I really don't think USA will attack Iran.

You messed up my favorite part! yev park haveedyans havitenits, Amen! Of course that's my favorite line because it reminds me of these. I basically say it to myself like this: "Hav e danes, havi denits" (chicken in my house from the chicken house). Welcome to the forum Shushan.

April 18, 2006 by Alex Law , Auto123 Jeep TJ has lowest lifetime energy cost Hybrids may use a little less fuel on the road than many of the other new models, but they're really poor performers when you count their lifetime energy costs, and when it comes to which vehicles use the least energy it's wrong to judge a vehicle by its cover. So, if using less energy of all kinds is important to you, there are more than 150 better choices than any hybrid available today, starting with the Jeep TJ (soon-to-be Wrangler). This is the compelling finding of a comprehensive study by CNW Marketing Research of the lifetime energy usage of all the cars sold in the U.S. This study shows that popular hybrids such as the Ford Escape, Honda Accord and Civic, and Toyota Prius are at the back of the pack when you add up the energy necessary to plan, build, sell, drive and dispose of a vehicle from initial concept to scrappage. Indeed, the study shows that those hybrids can cost society (if not their owners) three times more per mile in energy costs over the lifetime of the vehicle than many cars, trucks and SUVs of all kinds. Hybrid vehicles are even a lot more expensive than the same car with a traditional powertrain. While the results are crafted from U.S. costs and wouldn't strictly apply in Canada, there's no question that the energy cost relationship between vehicles would be the same here. (The Scion xB and Ford Escort actually get lower numbers than the Jeep TJ, but Toyota Canada hasn't seen fit to bring the former model to Canada yet and Ford of Canada stopped selling Escort some time back.) The 20 vehicles with the lowest lifetime energy costs per mile (in U.S. dollars) are: 1. Jeep TJ (Wrangler): $0.6042. Chevrolet Tracker: $0.6943. Toyota Echo: $0.7034. Saturn Ion: $0.7095. Hyundai Elantra: $0.7236. Dodge SX2.0: $0.7287. Toyota Corolla: $0.7328. Chevrolet Cavalier: $0.7579. Pontiac Sunfire: $0.75810. Chevrolet Aveo: $0.76511. Mazda Protegé: $0.77212. Chevrolet S10: $0.77913. Ford Focus: $0.080314. Hyundai Accent: $0.84015. Kia Spectra: $0.86416. Mitsubishi Lancer: $0.87217. Suzuki Aerio: $0.88818. Nissan Sentra: $0.96219. Kia Rio: $0.96420. Ford Ranger: $0.968But you could also serve the environment better by choosing a Hummer H2 ($3.027) or H3 ($1.949), a Cadillac Escalade ($2.753), a Lincoln Navigator ($2.617), a Dodge Ram ($2.484), or pretty much anything else for less than an Accord Hybrid ($3.295), Toyota Prius ($3.249), Honda Civic Hybrid ($3.238), or Ford Escape Hybrid ($3.178). CNW president Art Spinella says his firm spent two years collecting data on the energy necessary to plan, build, sell, drive and dispose of a vehicle from initial concept to scrappage. "This includes such minutiae as plant to dealership transportation fuel costs, manufacturer and supplier employee driving distances, electricity usage per pound of material used in each vehicle, and literally hundreds of other variables." To put the data into understandable terms for consumers, it was translated into a "dollars per lifetime mile" figure, Spinella said in an interview from his Portland office. "That is, the Energy Cost per mile driven." The 20 most Energy Expensive vehicles per mile sold in Canada in calendar year 2005 are as follows: 1. Mercedes Maybach: $11.5822. VW Phaeton: $11.2133. Rolls-Royce: $10.6604. Bentley: $10.5555. Audi Allroad Quattro: $5.5956. Audi A8: $4.9647. Audi A6: $4.9638. Lexus LS 430: $4.7349. Porsche Carrera GT: $4.52810. Acura NSX: $4.45311. Lexus GS 430: $4.41612. Infiniti Q45: $4.24313. Porsche Cayenne: $4.41614. VW Touareg: $4.13415. Lamborghini: $4.00916. Jaguar S-Type: $3.98917. Mercedes SLK: $3.98218. Ferrari: $3.96219. Infiniti M45: $3.87620. Lexus: GS: $3.861According to Spinella, one of the reasons hybrids cost more than non-hybrids is the manufacture, replacement and disposal of such items as batteries, electric motors (in addition to the conventional engine), lighter weight materials and complexity of the power package. "If a consumer is concerned about fuel economy because of its impact on the family budget or social concerns such as depleting oil supplies," says Spinella, "it is perfectly logical to consider buying high-fuel-economy vehicles. But if the concern is centered on broader issues such as the environmental impact of energy usage, some high-mileage vehicles actually cost society more than conventional or even larger models over their lifetime." Spinella points out that "basing purchase decisions solely on fuel economy or vehicle size does not get to the heart of the energy usage issue. The goal of overall worldwide energy conservation and the cost to society in general, not just the auto buyer can often be better addressed by being aware of a car or truck's dust-to-dust energy requirements." In the next week or so, says Spinella, a full analysis of the data will be posted on www.PurchasePathOnline.com, including an extensive Q&A section discussing details of the research.

Ha ha ... good one. Reminds me of that study some other guy did a while back about all the sick things people search for on file sharing networks ... and also how many times a made up file with the title of something about someone having sex with an elephant (if I remember correctly) was downloaded as soon as it went online Unfortunately I don't remember where that study was posted.

Here are a few pics from my yesterday's fun in Minnesota http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/sip/sip/gal/gilbert0406/img_3761.jpg Rocks, rocks, and more rocks!

Yah I'm posing http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/sip/sip/gal/gilbert0406/img_3830.jpg And a scenic shot just for the heck of it! A bunch of other pictures from the trip here (picture album). The pictures are all of my jeep for now. I got to winch a full size chevy on 40" tires out of a major jam and I think we have video of it. I'll try to post the video later when I have a chance to resize it.

I think the message of this thead is that Edward is an intelligent, smart, caring, awesome, and super duper guy. For that, I will have to disagree with some of the comments above and proclaim this as one of the best threads ever. So now ... when are we roasting Edward?

Here you go. Now you just have to picture the same process with Mos and Accelerated. You have seen accels picture ... you know the outcome (first post in this thread). So now work backwards to figure out what Movses looks like
