What if all the money spent searching for life on other planets are all in vain? My guess is that the answer to extra-terrestrial life may lie much closer to home than we may know. What if aliens originated right here on earth? Besides, I think that with all the technological advancements we have acheived this far & after all the money spent doing this research, how long will it take to even get a clear glimpse of what lies beyond our galaxy, let alone get close enough to study it. By the time we realise it will take too long (perhaps beyond the time of mankind) to finally get reasonable answers, we probably would have realised that we should have spent the effort saving our own planet & civilisation as we know it.

Oh well.. just a thaught. Shate yours if you have any!

When a guy approaches you for the first time smiling, does this seem conspicuous?

I like to smile, a lot, and I can't help it sometimes. Though I fear sometimes it appears like I'm crazy or hiding something. It could also seem that I'm going to naturally ask the girl out, just when I'm being friendly. It just seems that smiling and being friendly in public is stigmatized.

In other words, when a guy approaches you smiling do your defenses go up?

If the religious believe that every soul has a purpose to fulfill and god knows the purpose/gives the purpose, and everything that is meant to be will be and should be...then why is it hard to imagine that perhaps it is meant (by god) that a person has an abortion? perhaps it (the abortion) is part of the plan of the path of life that your god has created? perhaps there is a reason behind it. why can't the religious think of it this way?

So people have free will..but if you are religious then this free will is still governed by gods path for you and for the world at large. So if abortion is part of free will...then it is still the path chosen by god, no?

Anyway yeah, i'm not religious, but i never understood why the religious don't think of it this way.

plese no bashing. I am merely asking why this is not accepted as a possibility by the religious. respectful answers only please.

...and you jump through it what would happen? would you keep falling forever, or fall back down when you get to the middle, or would it be physically impossible?

I was recently playing an old game on my computer, "The Incredible Machine". It consists of placing different objects which interact with each other to solve a puzzle, which is like a "Rube Goldberg machine".

I was trying to create a puzzle that basically took minutes to resolve itself, where bouncing balls would make bombs explode, breaking walls and opening new sections where the balls would propagate and open more sections. I was surprised to see the same kind of behavior seen when playing the "life game" where a set of dots driven by a simple mathematical formula propagate themselves on a grid. Many times playing "TIM", the animation either finished in a "stop" or in an "infinite loop", and no matter how random the pattern may seem, it always evolved and died the same way if the initial factors were identical.

Does this mean that it is impossible to digitally recreate a situation of chaos? Are these digital restrictions limiting our technological development potential?

I dream i am falling , falling , falling through darkness. Before i hit the ground i am always saved by a womans pair of arms.
I can never see the face. She never speaks.
I start off the dream feeling scared and alone but always finish feeling content.
Maybe i am just nuts ?

I have a 1977D Yamaha xs 650. Its a sweet ride, but I think it could run a lot better than it currently does. My question to pose to you is, where should I start?

Here is some info to point you in the right direction.

- The engine runs fine, but idles a bit high once it warms up
- It backfires on the left side, could be because the inner sleave of the left headpipe is lose at one end.. but i dunno
- very occassionally when i use the kick start, it will blow the carbies right off.. yeah.. crazy huh
- For all I know it hasn't had its engine tuned or carbs look at in years.

If you can give me some helpful advice, especially if you think I should just bring it to a mechanic that would be great. I'm in Sydney, Australia if that helps too.

I feel like something isn't quite right. I'm 14 weeks pregnant with 2nd baby (1st is husbands) and our sex life hasn't been what it was for a while now. We have been married for 5 years and he says he still loves me but i feel very uneasy. He has started working 2 hours overtime every night - i know we need the money and he could just be being a good husband/father but he's never there. He seems to be ok with not as much sex but i find that worrying too! If i ask him about cheating he shrugs it off. How can i believe him? Is there anyway to be sure he's telling the truth without something drastic like spying on him?
