New Game: Smiley War

NewsHound — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:28:27 GMT

Oh I know... I know.... We don't like war here in the Ether.

We would much rather sit around philosophizing over why Mr Cheney shot his friend in the face...

Tell jokes, post nonsensical polls and see how many times Bee & Smooth can change the face of the board.

But to prepare for the coming smiley revolution, I suggest a simulation of the coming folly that will be the downfall of all human kind.

You play this in the same manner as the Word Association ...

Calling all Sun Scorpios

Aquarius — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 13:38:40 GMT

Dear Friends,

My freshly revised interpretation of the Sun in Scorpio has just been posted to Rays of Wisdom. The original idea had been to slim this file down, so several parts of it have been removed. However, such a wealth of new insights have flown into the existing material that it is now even bigger than it was before. A complete overhaul, rewriting and reorganising of this file, the same as for the others, was inevitable. Thanks be to God and the Angels for the new understanding they ...

What Will Be Effected When We Go All Digital?

Smooth Operator — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:59:58 GMT

Will it be a Smooth transition?

What other items may and could be effected?

I personally suspect that this will be OUR Y2K event.

What other items have analogue...?

Phones, cellphones, Computers, clocks, fax machines, printers, copiers, even some items in cars (though I'm uncertain if that would effect THAT or not).

What about microwaves and any other gadget that runs off analogue?

The Soul Of Autism

Aunt Bee — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 22:48:37 GMT

As you guys know, this is a topic that is very close to me.

And with the way Autism is approached in our culture, no wonder people out there consider it a disorder that needs curing.

The following is a book I'm currently reading and I highly recommend it.

yourself), you know that the autistic brain is different. ...

Human species 'may split in two'

NewsHound — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 00:53:43 GMT

Are they SERIOUS?

Haven't we already done that?

Human species 'may split in two'

Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said.

Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.

The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.

People would become choosier about their ...
