Ahh that's the one. Must admit inbetween April and August I didn't think about this once, but case closed. thank you

Ta very much.

I'm nothing at the moment but I don't believe in the big bang nor evolution from fish, monkleys maybe, fish no.

It's actually monkeys to humans to fish...

If you believe in evolution, you should maybe learn about it.

When life was created, it began as a primordial soup - that is, a vast mass of liquid which contained just the right conditions to nurture gorwth of living organisms. These organisms were originally single-celled, but as time went on they would evolve into mroe advanced creatures to adapt to thier increasing predators and the nature of their environment changing, as the Earth cooled down and the levels of methane etc. in the atmosphere reduced. The primordial soup would eventually become water, the single-celled organismwould evolve into fish.

Evenutally, the time came for evolution to progress even further, and these fish grew legs. Some would become frog and newt-like amphibians, which would be capable of land-based movement but would be far more efficient in water, others owuld become reptiles like crocodiles, turtles - and dinosaurs.

The Earth would continue to cool, and eventually the reptilian evolution would spawn in two directions. Those with wings would develop feathers which not only aided flight, but were also used to keep warm in the cooler winters. Land-based reptiles would evolve to grow fur - the first mammals. Then when the ice age came along, the last of the land-based dinosaurs would be wiped out by the low temperatures - but the furry, warm-blooded mammals were able to stay warm, including Wooly Mammoths, rodent-like creatures and a form of creature aesthetically disimilar to everything else - apes.

So, we're all evolved from fish. Every animal on planet Earth can theoertically trace its ancestory back to a life in the sea - birds, reptiles, humans... and even fish.

Fair enough, you've now just convinced me that Evolution is indeed the biggest pile of crap ever.

You're proof evolution is going backwards.

So, shall we sign you up for one of Dr Duane T. Gish's books then?

Do the fossils really say no?

Why? It's life adapting to the conditions it's placed in. It's still going - there are increasing cases of human males born without nipples, because guys don't need them. They're evolving away from having them at all.


Looks fuckin' weird, though.

Just wondering, not arguing - why would men losing nipples represent evolution? Nipples don't harm a male's ability to live or survive in any way at all. Fine, they may not need them, but why would they disappear as you suggest?

What the hell are statutory rights?

E.g When you see on product packaging, and returns and complaints info and it says; "This does not affect your statutory rights", well, what are they?

Simply because they're not needed. Evolution doesn't simply upgrade, it makes little aesthetic differences as well.

Then why did we get 'em in the first place? After thinking it over, I wouldn't say Evolution is a pile of crap, but something very hard to believe and I still don't really.

But what would make them go away? They may not be needed by a male human, but they don't bring negative affects either, so what would be the cause of them disappearing?

Nipples are related to sweat glands... no nipples= no sweat glands... so I've been led to believe by someone who is an expert on the subject...

I learned this a couple of years ago in some enrichment day programme, I can't remember much of it, but it's basically your rights as a customer to return any goods, from any place. Some Law/Act/Ammendment entitles us as consumers to be fully reimbursed for any product we buy which is faulty. Additionally, they also must reimburse us for any losst we suffer as a direct result of the faulty product. A random example can be that you buy a blender that the top doesn't fir on correctly, only the seller doesn't poin this out to you, and you blend something that ends up damaging a shirt or somthing, the seller must reimburse you for the shirt as well as the blender, however proving it can be quite tricky which is mhy 99% of the time they get away with it.

You're statutory rights vary depending on how you buy them though e.g private seller, the internet, auctions etc. There's probably something on the internet that will tell you exactly what your rights are though.

I've been reading through a ton of newsgroups, and various flame wars happen.

Often one of them says to the other "Your getting TOS'ed!". What does that actually mean?

Thank you brahs.

As far as I know being reported to your Internet provider for breaking their terms of service.

I haven't heard the nipple thing Dave Beaste mentioned; but as we are all female 'by default' and then turned male at the right moment we're provided with the sexual development tools needed depending on which way we're going to develop. So nipples are there in case you were supposed to be Tequila Girl.

To pick up the other point; so what do you believe in? And what is it you don't believe about the Big Bang?

I guess I am growing closer to the diea of creation. My main concern with the Big Bang. So the Big Bang happened when some particles reacted together, sop where did these particles come from?

Big Bang refers to the first thing that happened in the universe (a sequence of massive temperature, reaction and expansion that created everything) as we know it. The actual moment of 'creation' is still debated, although popular theories include the collapse of a previous universe or a singularity entering flux.

It was first arrived at by examining the current expansion of the universe and extrapolating backwards.

You just watched that Guinness advert over and over didn't ya? Seriously though, if my science teacher put it like that, I'd know a lot more about science than what I learned from watchin Jurassic Park and Guinness adverts...

Anyone know the song used on the ITV3 advert for some detective special? It features "Save me...." and is a womanly voice.

Hell no, I read Horrible Science as a kid. I learned more from those books than I did from GCSE Triple Award.

I prefer to drink Guiness over watching the ads.

I've always wondered what it means when in a sentence or something, the term 'sic' is used, in brackets... For example, the NME do it a lot, like they might be writing about a band and say something like "they sound a lot like The Smiths (sic)". That is just an example I've come up with off the top of my head... I've never known what it means, any help would be very much appreciated.

Sic is usually written [sic], the Latin word meaning 'thus' or 'so'. It's used to say "I'm just quoting this, don't have a go at me if it's wrong (often spelling)".

For example, "they sound a lot like The Smith [sic]".

Has anybody got any info on the new series of Bo Selecta?

And

How much is it now days to get your PS2 chipped?

Here's one for you, when did Barney from The Simpsons turn back into a drunk?

How do you put videos from youtube onto your myspace profile?

Copy and Paste the bit where it says "embed video".

What was that program called where that army dude (i've forgot his name) went on the run in different territory’s like jungles and snow and he would be hunted down by trackers, i think the program was on BBC2

The reason why men have nipples is nothing to do with evolution. It's about the stages of embryonic growth.

Basically, an embryo is female for the first 6 weeks and grows as such. At around the 6-week stage the male sex chromosome kicks in and the embryo begins to grow its male characteristics. Therefore the foetus will have nipples and breast tissue.

Because men still have breast tissue they can still get things such as breast cancer or gynecomastia (enlargement of the breast tissue á la Meatloaf in Fight Club).

Thank you. I'll now remove my geek hat.

Has a football player ever intentionally scored an own goal? Similar to the alleged William Gallas threat.

Has it ever happened?

Thank you.

I said that up there ^. Hands off my geek hat

I missed that, sorry.

And noooo... it's so nice and furry and warm. MY geek hat. MINE!

I remember reading that Pascal "Mr. Loyalty" Chimbonda scored a deliberate own goal when playing for Bastia. I unfortunately do not have a source for this though.

Has Missing Records in Glasgow on Oswald Street closed?

Not been in a while granted but back in the day it was my favourite shop.

Any of the Glaswegians know if its still going somewhere else?

Thank you brahs.

This is the most intentional looking own goal I've ever seen

It's almost a years bump for the thread but I think you'll find it's worth it. For years I've worried and cogitated over the pronunciation of popular musical artist David Bowie, however now I've come to a point in my life where I need a definitive answer. What is it???

1. Bowie - bow, as in bows and ribbons.

2. Bowie- bow, as in bow and curtsey.

Save a mans sanity.

Right, one for thomputer guys out there. I've just downloaded a UIF file but I can't burn it onto a cd using magic ISO because I don't have any cds. Is there another programme I can use, like Daemon tools that would allow me to open the file without having to burn it?

You should still be able to mount the file with Magic ISO

hi, quick question. Where can i find and download an instrumental version of 'what you waiting for' by Gwen Stefani? I cant find one anywhere and just realised i need it for tomorrow. any help would be appreciated!

Here you go.

thank you very much sir, i will not forget your helpfulness. If i win the £88million tomorrow on the Euromillions you can consider yourself £100,000 richer.

hey, sorry but quick question for whoever wants to answer. Is that Windows live password stealer 2007 real? (does it work?) .. is it legal? and if so, does anyone have it?

One week prior to their first match in the 1990 world cup, England played an Italian pub side.

They were ten-nil up, when Steve McMahon deliberately scored an own goal to give them some consolation.

Even as an 11-year-old, I was irate that he would do that, although that was nothing compared to the hatred I had for him just a few days later in England's opener against Ireland, when he gave the ball to Kevin Sheedy to score their equaliser

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I love the username... An erotic journey from Milan to Minsk!

to be honest i didn't think it was a real thing, i just saw it on a youtube video where a guy had this program where you could just get passwords for any hotmail account and stuff like that.

(oh don't bother with rochellerochelle the film, the musical is far better!)

Can anyone find a link for the guitar chords/tabs for the Belinda Carlisle song "In Too Deep"? Can't find it anywhere.

Oh yes, forgot to add - its for my sister.

Does anyone know what font the Bench. logo uses? I think it's probably just Helvetica but thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew better.
