Permission granted. "Average growth rates for dripstones (stalactites) are about ½ inch for every 100 years (Figure 2a and 2b)." fr. http://www.uwec.edu/jolhm/Cave/caveform2.htm

This is completely incompetent. Among scientists and creationists, it is creationists who assume the answer and struggle to find and fit data, and when they don't they further assume and deny... and that's not science. I will repeat my only position on this, lest it be forgotten: there is no...

When people hear the word capitalism it quickly brings to mind some of the many abuses thereof... corporate executives who make millions while those who work in production struggle to afford a home; entertainers and athletes that horde riches and live lavishly; brainwashing children (and adults)...

Is it this topic, and only that, that resulted in that ad being posted for rcg.org with old Armstrong's pic and the question "Do you remember Herbert W. Armstrong?"

Alright, then how about this: "Once the trees went forth to anoint a king over them, and they said to the olive tree, 'Reign over us!' "But the olive tree said to them, 'Shall I leave my fatness with which God and men are honored, and go to wave over the trees?' "Then the trees said to the...

As this nowhere discussion lost me on its first thread, I haven't been following the second and third. But I did catch this by the New Posts click, that you don't know of any parable in the OT. Well there are plenty in the Psalms. Do the sun and moon and stars and waters all literally praise...

So did Charlie Anderson (Jimmy Stewart) in the movie Shenandoah: "Lord--- we cleared this land. We plowed it, sowed it, harvested. We cooked the harvest. It wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be eatin' it if we hadn't done it all ourselves. We worked dog-bone hard for every crumb and morsel. But...

Not very often. "Why?"... N.A. "Why not?"... I don't usually think of it. Nope; just the opposite. How much you got? No, unless it's for my own sanity, as I can't stand that combination. This doesn't really apply to me... but for a 3 course meal, how about a 3 course prayer...

It seems to me too many billions were spent on developing and producing those weapons to tear them all down. Why not get rid of the clause in our treaties that bans detonation of nuclear weapons in space and build an Orion starship? The weapons could be used to power it.

True, it was a good opening game. But it counts for no more than each of the other 161. Assuming you're a fan, have you noticed that they don't play any of their division rivals in April until the last 3 days? That's strange, from how the schedule is usually made. I have tickets for the game...

On the other poll, only one besides me voted for grape, so it's not as popular as I (perhaps "we") thought. But apricot jam... I had forgotten that I used to really like that; but almost 30 years ago using any jams or jellies was something I virtually stopped, normally not eating sugar. If I...

You seemed to have learned something since that other thread where we approached this.

I'm willing to remember this thread as one that one of us will throw back in the other's face. Please remember it in kind.

Did I hear it right that Chicago gave up Orton and 2 high draft choices? If so, I would say Denver made the better deal. And have you noticed?... QB's who play part of a career in Denver seem to do their best playing while there? Brian Griese and Jake Plummer, for 2 examples. Also, anyone...

Any kind of jam except traffic. Any kind of jelly as long as there is no 'bean' or 'roll' on the end. No, I seldom have either of them, but grape would be the choice if I do.

Britain had more North American colonies than the 13 that became the United States of America. Some remained under British control and became Canada. So that situation is the same-- some rebelled against British control and some didn't, and some rebelled against federalist control and some...

One place I am sure Old Queenie will never visit again is Dallas, TX. She came years ago when there was a big conflict going on to go to a 10-4 council-manager type city government [bicameral districts-- 10 "small" districts + 4 "large" districts], while the loudest black leaders demanded (and...

Considering that that did occur-- the U.S.A. and Canada-- how do you figure?

The starter of this thread, obviously.

This discussion seems to have shown that "regular" does not have the precise meaning many of us would have thought. There have been times when I definitely wanted a caffeine fix, and was asked 'regular or decaf,' and I said "caf." I learned to never do that because the server will always...
