Time is relative, but to make this easy, let's say that time goes by at a fixed pace for you, and time goes by at a fixed pace for your locale. Ordinarily, as you move around your locale by walking or driving, these two time paces would appear to be identical; in other words, time would appear...

The other movie with Bruce Willis was Unbreakable, but it was Samuel L. Jackson's character that had the fragile bones. Actually, he said he had the condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which is a real, albeit very rare, condition, which was actually accurately portrayed in the movie...

I found this article at imdb.com. Personally, I held Jerry Goldsmith right up there with John Williams. Other credits to Goldsmith: Themes and fanfares to several recent Academy Awards ceremonies; Hollow Man; The Haunting; The 13th Warrior; Mulan; U.S. Marshalls; Air Force One; Executive...

Yeah, real chicken. There's a story I've heard and have heard others talk about that KFC calls itself KFC now because they use genetically-enhanced chickens that are designed to be featherless, but therefore the FDA will not allow to be called "chickens", therefore KFC can't call itself Kentucky...

I don't know if I agree with you, Gonz. First, let's assume for the sake of argument that PETA's undercover worker didn't actually participate in these activities, but merely observed them ("allowed them to go on"). If I understand your positon--and please correct me if I'm wrong--you feel...

I need some tips/advice/suggestions on buying a used motorcycle. Up until recently, I've only been interested in certain sports bikes. Recently, I realized that when I thought about a "regular" type of motorcycle, which I guess are called cruisers(?), that I was no longer as turned-off as I used...

Thus my title for this thread... :) That, plus my choice of adjective for the woman wasn't just a randomly-selected vulgarity, either. Regardless of how much blame can be attributed to the mother or to the father, all I can really say, for now, is that my full agreement goes to tonsky in the...

Surprised nobody else has aparently posted about this... There was a major accident on I-95, the main East Coast highway, this afternoon in Maryland, around 3:00pm. I initially became aware of it about a half hour afterward, when I got on Rt. 100 from I-97 and noticed the sky to the NW...
