In Philosophy today the professor brought up a supposedly true account of a woman who died on the operating table (or something) in a hospital, and then felt herself rise up through the building and saw a red shoe on the roof. After being brought back to life she mentioned what she saw and later...

I understood about the guy who could squeeze a pen and make the top pop off but then it sounded like he was making the top pop back on for his demonstration. He said he squeezed the pen and the cap would snap back on, not off. I can't picture this. Then he shows a picture of a red thing and...

I am posting this in science but it can also be in entertainment, religion and skepticism. Its from today's Pakistan Christian Post which is a newspaper I never realized existed until today and will be sure not to miss in the future. Apparently there is geologic evidence that a volcanic eruption...

I've put this on the politics thread too....but here I want to know if red mercury exists - and if not, who started the hoax? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5176382.stm

Since the Google home page had a link to this page, I guess it is a good time to mention the trilogy I am in the middle of reading right now. Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars, in that order. When I say I am in the middle of this trilogy, I mean I am in the middle. Halfway through Green...

Yes, even the twisted alternative paper comic RED MEAT is weighing in on the ID issue!

I am heartened that Randi is doing well and applaud any and all efforts to help him and others undergoing surgery, etc. I would dearly love to donate blood but the Red Cross will not take mine. My problem is with the constant calls from the Red Cross for blood donations, constant alerts about...

For those of you who weren't fortunate enough to join this endeavor, it was truly wonderous, and very well guided my Kitten and Slick. Enjoy! By the way, PM me with your email if this link doesn't work. http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=x93kd64.xo079vo&x=0&y=-w9f1aq

The expanding universe concept is usually presented as the main evidence to support the validity of The Big Bang Theory. Or at least it gives great weight to the Theory. Personally, I don’t support in the Big Bang Theory regardless of whether or not the universe is expanding (but would be more...

http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=106&sid=6287224&cKey=1133718364000 So why was it okay to have a cross, a crescent, but not a Star of David? Iw as hearing about this on the radio this morning, and I'm still not sure of the reasoning behind it.

I've been thinking about the big bang and I've come up with a hypothesis (or perhaps a I should call it a speculation) to tie together some anomalies and explain how it all works. I'll call it the Zero Point Conversion hypothesis. First, let's take a look at some generally accepted aspects of...

Monday september 12th we had a parliament election here in Norway. The results are now in, and although it was a very close call, the parliament majority went to the red-green alliance, which consists of Labour (62 seats), The Socialist Party (15 seats) and the Center Party (11 seats). (Total =...

Aid Organization Never Got Into New Orleans If you thought you were donating money to the Red Cross in the hopes that they would use the money to buy food and feed victims in New Orleans, you've just lost some money. Currently all the food being given to victims in and around New Orleans was...

Apparently England has something called the Standards Board of England, which in turn apparently has the power to review the statements of elected officials and to force apologies or even remove officials from office. They've started an inquiry into Livingstone's tirade about Nazis at a Jewish...

Does Randi or anyone else here have discussed about Hercolubus? "“Hercolubus or Red Planet” is a warning to Humanity about the proximity to Earth of the Planet Hercolubus. This is an enormous planet whose great gravitating power will provoke in our planet multiple earthquakes, tidal waves...

We've all seen the 'Political COmpass' Quiz that gets linked here from time to time. I found this Political Typology Quiz after hearing about it on NPR. It breaks up people into a different set of categories than the compass quiz, three that are basically conservative, 3 that are basically...

it seems there is a wave of support for replacing the teachers red corrective pen with a purple one. are christians the red pen? are atheists the purple pen? here is one article. it seems that the red corrective pen has brought about feelings ranging from emotional damage to outright rage...

A decimal point got dropped som'ers, I do believe...I get 3.743 (and change) inches divided by inches per second... As I recall, when dividing, invert and multiply...the inches cancel out...so you get an answer of 3.743(etc) seconds...which means...what? The answer isn't even a length, it's a...

I had to send my espresso machine (a very blue state sort of thing to own) to New York for repair. It's been repaired, and now, ups tracking number in hand, I get to watch my machine slowly work it's way back home in the (blue) northwest. (It's currently in Ohio.) The election gave me a whole...

I'm so glad I don't care about the Red Sox. But these folks sure do. *yawn*

Here are the results of a little digging. Obviously we should trust our "fearless leaders" over any of this evil 'left-wing conspiracy' talk about so-called 'human rights' from organizations such as the International Red Cross and Amnesty International, but it seems to me the U.S. has taken a...

Prosecuted For Politics Oh, really?

This story very much sickened me. Though I suppose some here will not think it was "wrong" but IMO, incest is just intrinsically very disgusting and leads to bad consequences. Let alone incest with two minors. http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/01/26/utah.polygamy.ap/index.html To take an excerpt...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3077663/ Whoa. I and just about everyone else has heard about the infamous 'metric conversion' cause, but this is the first that I've heard about lack of double-checking staff; NASA "assumed" that there would be no mistakes? Maybe NASA Upper Management should...

Thanks to The Smoking Gun, we have access to the trademark application, and its rejection, by the Kabbalah Centre in L.A. that caters to Madonna, etc, for Kabbalah Red String. Apparently, to wear a red string around your wrist fends off the evil eye. I suggest that Michael Jackson wrap...

A friend of mine is studying mathematics at University. His girlfriend came to a party at my place- he couldn't go because he was studying. I asked her to ask him if he's proven Godel's Theorem. She talked to me later and said that Godel's theorem already had a proof. I said, "Oh, well then...

Somewhere in the Bible there is mention of the 'red hefier' and how it is tied up with the messiah. I heard today that there are groups planning to try to geneticaly create the red hefier to bring the Messiah. My question for the R&P forum. Isn't this cheating? Would not god be the one to...
