OK, I'm in the market for a new TV! I'd like one with a DVI input so I can hook my computer up to it and play games or DVD's or do slideshows presentations and whatnot. Obviously clarity is very important to me, but so is size. I'm been comparing prices and I can get a 51" rear projection HDTV for about the same price as a 28" LCD. The rear projection is attractive because of the size, but I am worried about the picture quality compared to the LCD. Which should I go with and if you can recommend specific makes and models and distributors, that would be great. Thanx.

Einstein dies and goes to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter tells him, "You look like Einstein, but you have NO idea the lengths that some people will go to sneak into Heaven. Can you prove who you really are?"

Einstein ponders for a few seconds and asks, "Could I have a blackboard and some chalk?"

Saint Peter snaps his fingers and a blackboard and chalk instantly appear. Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and symbols his theory of relativity.

Saint Peter is suitably impressed. "You really ARE Einstein!" he says. "Welcome to heaven!"

The next to arrive is Picasso. Once again, Saint Peter asks for credentials.

Picasso asks, "Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?"

Saint Peter says, "Go ahead."

Picasso erases Einstein's equations and sketches a truly stunning mural with just a few strokes of chalk.

Saint Peter claps. "Surely you are the great artist you claim to be!" he says. "Come on in!"

Then Saint Peter looks up and sees George W. Bush. Saint Peter scratches his head and says, "Einstein and Picasso both managed to prove their identity. How can you prove yours?"

George W. looks bewildered and says, "Who are Einstein and Picasso?"

Saint Peter sighs and says, "Come on in, George."

i have scoliosis, im 15, ive known for 2 years, ive gone to doctors, and ive been through physical therapy, doctors say since im done growing a brace is pointless, and that it was bad enough to risk surgery....
.... last time i went to the doctor (bout a yr ago) about it they said i didnt really need to go back unless it got worse... ive been in ALOT of pain lately, ive been doing some exercies recomended by my physical therapist, when i was in it... and they havent help, i dont think my mom realizes how much pain i really am in, and NOTHING is working lately, and i think i need to go back to the doctor, but i cant, since my mom seems to think its not as bad as it is.... so basiclly: Ive been in soooooooo much pain, nothing has helped, i know i need to go to the doctor.... if they think i should get surgery, what do you think i should do?? i was lookin at some info bout surgery online, and it said less then 1 out 100 go wrong but still... should i risk it? [if the dr. thinks i should]

So, there is this guy at school who I am very attracted to. Him and I have known eachother for almost ten years. I liked him in elementary school, didn't see him for three years, and then went to the same High school as him and am even more attractive to him. the problem is, I don't know if he likes me in that sort af way.
Him and I seem to have this weird mental bond, like we can just stare at each other and know what the other is saying.
Should I confront him with my feelings or just let are friendship stay the same?
How would I confront him?

We were watching Little House on the Prairie, Mary went blind and her teacher at the blind school revealed to Mary that he too was blind when he asked.. 'Tell me what you look like Mary I have never seen you.' She put his hands on her face and he felt all over her face, slowly. Now, my first thought was... So, could he FEEL it if she was ungly? Can you 'feel' ugly on a person? YAHOO ANSWERS ROCKS!!!!!

please don't just say a games name unless it is obvious, tell a little bit about it and the rules. If it involves drinking, striping, dares, truths, kissing, touching, basically anything execpt full on sex is good. I know strip poker, truth or dare, spin the bottle, seven min in heaven, but we play these a lot and it gets old it would be nice to have a new game. Any help would be great. BTW we all prefer to have mixed drinks instead of shots cause it lasts longer. We have a hot tub and live in a small village, with not a very crowded street
