Plan B Forum

Caught a mouse in my shed yesterday, want me to send it to you? I don't have a recipe though. I live with two cats, they leave mice in my shoes, my bed, etc. Not so appetizing. It is merely a testament to George R.R. Martin's prose that I can be moved to wonder and actually contemplate the culinary...

If the "messages" are actually encoded intelligences or copies of existing entities this may be all that a sentient race can do, on a Galactic scale, before destroying itself. If your species had the choice of facing extinction alone and leaving little to no mark on the Galaxy/Universe or making a c...

Reading "A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones" has given me a hankerin' for Horsemeat, honeyed mice and other odd delicacies. Not available at the local butcher AFAIK

Also: I think George R.R.Martin uses the word "onion" more than the word "sword" in his five book epic.

I didn't think you liked men... Did I say I liked him? (Kidding, of course I like him.) I like his company. He's a nice, kind and smart person. That is all I require of a companion in life. I've always liked individuals of both sexes. But if I weren't with him, I'd either be alone or with someone l...

So there's this thing selling like crazy, I bet Pat has several. After all I've never heard him issue a flat denial.

Why are the people who get naked publicly usually the ones you don't especially wish to see naked?

I say this as a formerly naked person.

Sorry for the necro-post but as a Necro Submitter I suppose I am entitled to resurrect long dead topics. Currently reading David Brin "Existence" Not yet finished. The idea so far is that other intelligent life cannot reach us in time or in space but can leave messages, on "bulletin boards" (memory ...

Did Glen Beck really rape and murder a girl in 1990? I'm not saying he did, mind you. But I've never heard him issue a flat denial. He looks kind of rapey to me. I know its been a long time folks, but Gob sent me a dang e mail. No smart phone. Two cats, a screened porch with hammock, a man in my lif...

Oh I'm not dead. But I will have a plate of brains if there are any left.

Well I recall someone, Might have been Phil Plait, saying something regarding the Drake Equation. It was something like: "Life shows up in very short order after the Earth gets cool enough." 100 million years? In Geologic Spans that is pretty short. Of course it takes 400 million more to evolve to c...

Okay,
There may be life but there is definitely necroposting going on.

Oh it's likely there is life out there. If life can form one place what would hold it back elsewhere? I worry about the fact that all life on earth seems to follow exactly the same amino acid DNA plan and nothing is working with a different schematic. That seems to indicate either that only one plan...

I believe a civilization capable of mounting the investment of time, and the cost of travel between the stars must already have more resources at their disposal than could be found on earth. Some credible alien invasion/exploitation scenarios that resonate are the ones in Singularity Sky and Infecte...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/apr/26/facebook-privacy-hole I think: Abusive ex, scary grandparents, stalkers. Facebook leaks ought to make Facebookers nervous about privacy. Maybe today it's fine for everyone who wishes to know your every move, but when you decide it isn't okay, it'll be...

I'll take a plate of boiled potatoes, corned beef and cabbage, and a nice wheat beer to wash it down.

Perhaps parents should spend more time with their kids...they might then realize its just a cry for attention rather than a medical concern that needs medication!! Seems to me old pheromones and biological cues have been hijacked by modern means. How is a baby supposed to compete with today's fireh...
