  1. Eye.. it's much easier to just ignore what one sees as bulls*** than to make a big deal out of it. Did ya notice my posting decrease lately..
  2. Was there something about attaching wires to their bodies and making them stand on a cardboard box on a wet floor (ideally for the soldiers the POW would fall off the box and electrocuted)
  3. Ahhh-racist-choo... Just sayin...
  4. Sometimes ya just gotta ignore Vince.. he's a crazy man ya know..
  5. Did anyone hear about this..? Several members of the Army were sent home and will possibly be brought up on charges? I heard a blurb on the news last night and now I can't find anything about it.
  6. To be honest with you Ghost.. I think his comment about the movie was pretty stupid as well. But hey.. opinions are like...
  7. Cause you're the only one allowed to do so... Last time I checked the words in the Bible weren't written by anyone who was there.. no? So they pretty much had their own agenda.. no? I rarely get into these threads.. getting s*** on for having different views is pretty shallow and ignorant on the one beating their views, IMO... the Bible is to be intrepreted how one chooses to intrepretated. I doubt.. and this is just my opinion from the things I choose to believe.. God wouldn't expect everyone to have the same thoughts, and "judges" individualy.
  8. We tip every time as well.. never thought of not tipping. They have families and mouths to feed.
  9. It was a policy adopted from MLB.. and MANY other parks do it as well. Considering the two incidents that took place I think it was a good idea to show some "muscle".
  10. I could be wrong... but I think it's the 7th. Edited to add.. I am wrong. We're 7-1 in 1 run games not last at bat wins. Sorry bout that..
  11. Well.. this explains a lot. Neanderthals Matured Faster Than Modern Man By Patricia Reaney LONDON (Reuters) - Neanderthals may conjure up images of an uncivilized, brutish species but they were surprisingly early developers, researchers said Wednesday. Although Neanderthals disappeared from Europe about 30,000 years ago, scientists at the French research institute CRNS in Paris have uncovered new details about them by studying teeth fossils. The findings, reported in the science journal Nature, suggest Neanderthals reached adulthood by the age of 15 -- about three years before early modern humans -- probably ate a high calorie diet and were a distinct species from modern humans. "Neanderthals, despite having a large brain, were characterized by a short period of development," said Fernando Ramirez Rozzi. Creatures with large brains tend to have a lengthier growth period and take longer to mature, but Ramirez Rozzi and his colleague Jose Maria Bermudez de Castro found that the opposite applied with Neanderthals. "Until now the idea was: the longer the growth, the bigger the brain but in Neanderthals this relationship is completely broken," Ramirez Rozzi said in a telephone interview. "This difference in growth between Neanderthals and modern humans is, I think, very strong proof of two different species," he added. Why they developed so quickly is a puzzle but Ramirez Rossi suspects Neanderthals had a high mortality rate because of the hostile conditions in which they lived and they adapted to this by maturing quickly. DENTAL GROWTH AND MATURITY Dental growth records contain biological information and give an overall indication of the maturity of a species. Ramirez Rozzi and Bermudez de Castro studied the series of ridges, called perikymata, on teeth fossils. They compared teeth fossils from Neanderthals dating from 130,000 to 28,000 years ago, earlier samples dating between 800,000 and 400,000 years and teeth fossils of homo sapiens that were 20,000-8,000 years old. "Neanderthals were characterized by having the shortest period of dental growth," said Ramirez Rozzi. Whether Neanderthals evolved gradually into modern humans or were displaced or killed off by them is a question still being debated by scientists. Some researchers believe there may have been interbreeding to some degree. Neanderthals lived in caves or huts, used fires and tools and ate a variety of animals. They may have been cannibals and could have communicated with speech. Jan Kelley, of the University of Illinois in Chicago, said in a commentary in the journal that more studies on teeth fossils are needed to support the conclusions reached by Ramirez Rozzi and Bermudez de Castro. "Nonetheless, these authors have opened up what should prove to be a fruitful line of research into both the relationships and the palaeobiology of Neanderthals," Kelley said.

  18. One thing the Bulls did for season ticket holders was give them ALL the giveaway's upfront. Nothing worse than getting to the park late and not getting a bobblehead you want. Several friend of ours are Bulls ST holders just because of that perk.
