Maybe I could coat my car in that, so then I could half the amount of washing it gets to once every 2 years :)

With that and some intertial dampeners I'd wager I could steal a jet then fly to Britain in less than five seconds... MrT! I'm gonna need you to stand in your yard with the brightest flashlight you can find. We'll see how good I am at landing a jet at ridiculously unsafe speeds. I'm leaning toward "not very good" so you may want to wear a helmet.

On a more newsy subject, Bloomberg wants to ban large sodas.

Edit: Typo.

Oh come on where's the fun in that? You can't honestly tell me you've never thought it would be cool for a lunatic to land a stolen jet in your yard at Mach: A Lot. :twisted:

No, Christian-American fundamentalism doesn't shock me either.
It does disappoint, though and sometimes enrages me.

This is not new. Christians, as well as individuals of other religions MUST cherry-pick instruction and teachings throughout their sacred books to function amongst themselves, and especially those of different beliefs.

I'm not defending Christianity, but Ms. Stewart is making a lot out of nothing. Or at least stirring the pot.

God wanted them utterly destroyed because they were worshiping idols in groves of trees by heating up big metal plates with fire under them, then throwing some of their live babies onto the red-hot plates. if i saw that, i'd wipe them out, too. :evil:

Treating any religion as "correct", or showing any other kind of religious bias, in any educational institution, in any country in the world, is wrong.

And, for the United States, especially ironic.

so...you guys are putting your stamp of approval on frying innocent babies on red-hot metal plates, as long as you call it 'religion'?

No, I'm putting my stamp of dissaproval on practicies that involve the physical harming of others, regardless of who's beliefs it urinates on.
