Some people think the earth is over 2 million years old. Others believe the earth is only 8,000 years old. I am going to tally up the results and see which answer is most common.

The leader of North Korea reminds me of a 2 year old child who needs attention so he is sitting in his front yard with several sticks of dynamite and some matches, carelessly light the fuses on the sticks of dynamite and tossing the lit dynamite sticks around the yard.

Atheist writer Isaac Asimov made a case for the strong possibility that the Biblical writers writing of Eden were speaking of a real geograpich place, regardless of the merits of the creation story, and later I saw a newspaper article stating that a space satellite had photographed a configuration of ancient dry riverbeds similar to that described in Genesis as bounding Eden. The rivers would have met in what is now the Persian Gulf before the area was inundated by melting glacial ice about 10,000 years ago. Is this true?

I read a newspaper article some years ago indicating that people in a certain area of the former Soviet Union had a 75 percent correlation of genetic markers with full-blood Native Americans, hence were a good candidate for close kinship to so-called "American Indians", and the article said there was another group of a former U.S.S.R. population that, according to then-incomplete genomic studies, might be even more closely related to Native Americans.

Are you sure?

Consider this:

a doesn't = 0 and is a positive number

1) a = b
2) ab = b^2
3) ab - a^2 = b^2 - a^2
4) a (b-a) = (b+a) (b-a)
5) a = b+a
6) a = 2 a
7) 1 = 2

Are you still sure?

There is an episode of Mythbusters in which they revisited one of the older episodes and invited viewers to build their own "Archimedes Death Ray" (a sunlight reflecting mirror designed to generate and condence heat from the sun. A couple of guys were on with the main hosts who brought a curved mirror. It was kind of like the kind you find in the hospitals except it's not, it curves in instead of out. There was a certain name for it but I can't remember. Does anybody know the name of this kind of mirror? Thanks.
