It makes sense once you think about it a bit. If there are time machines created in the future, then you would think that those people would be here, but they are not. So does that mean that a time machine will never be created?

I think that reguardless of whether there is a god, or an afterlife, or whatever.. If all people seek to learn about their own nature and better themselves, and reach toward goodness and kindness, your reward at the end of your life will be the lack of regret... and you will know you always tried hard. And you will end up a far greater person than the helpless, selfish being you you began life as. Is there a philosopher/philosophy/author who has written about this idea?

I am a 25 yr old female who lives in Chicago, IL. I am very interested in joing a dance class. I have always loved to dance and still do. I am not experienced, I have never taken a class in my life. I wasnt a cheerleader or anything like that. I would like to join to learn how to dance but also for the exercise. What would be good exercise and alot of fun, which dance? And about how expensive are these types of classes and how long do they run for?

My Husband found this while testing his metal detector in our front yard last summer. It's an artillery shell (or something, it's about 4" or so long, thin, tapered at the end) that has already been fired and it is engraved:

Recruit Marvin B Bolen,
3rd Armored Division,
Fort Knox, Ky.

We think the man it belonged to may already have passed away. Any suggestions on how to track down his relatives? We also think (have no idea for sure though) that it may be from the 40's or 50's.

We have no idea how this came to be in our front yard. We bought the house from the family who built it (built in 1936-38) and their name wasn't Bolen.

Modern art. I don't get it. A blank canvas with three knife slashes in it? Apparently the artist is exploring the "area that exists beyond the canvas." Right.
A blue square. Thats all. It's just a blue square. Anyone can cover a canvas in blue paint. A flippin monkey could do it!
Does anyone see where I'm coming from? People go and see these "works of art" and exclaim at how fantastic they are. It's like people are afraid to say what they are actually looking at for fear of being thought of as stupid and unartistic.
So what do you think of modern art?

Yeah, so I'm 17 and I'm finally allowed to go on this book shopping spree after such a looonnng time. But I only get to buy 5 books. Or else I end up only reading and not doing anything else. So I'd like it if you suggested a few. I have many in mind but I'm confused. I'd prefer new ones. And any genre would do. Not something very old, but you could include classics, I wouldn't mind that! =) thanks!
