Icarus Lives

I actually haven't read the final book yet... I tend to get about 2/3 the way through most things... anyways I better get on that. Oh and thanks for the info!

I completely forgot the Golden Compass series by Philup Pullman and Spring-heeled Jack which pullman did a graphic novel for.

There just isn't anything better than House although i've missed just about every episode of the current season. One of these days, i'm going to through a 'House' party and what every episode up to the current one. Also, when I can find the episodes online, Bullshit! with Penn and Teller is awesome. I really like the one about the validity of the bible.

I think its more likely to be used for the reasons the CIA supposedly uses it. If you can classify a persons temperment it is more likely you can predict how they will react to a given situation. What that says about freewill... that's why the test is bogus, right?

The Foundation series by Isaac Asimov The Watchmen by Alan Moore The Devine Comedy by Heinlein

I'm an INTP... hurray for architects! That being said I would like to see a double blind study conducted to test the validity of this test. What the validity of this test says about the utility of it... that is another question entirely.

And if you want some scientific evidence... http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/odyssey/newsroom/.../20031208a.html http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mgs/newsroom/20050920a.html http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v428/...ature02470.html http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2002/pluto.html http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200607/s1697309.htm http://biocab.org/Cosmic_Rays_Graph.html#anchor_77 http://biocab.org/Global_Warming.html#anchor_32 http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1978ApJ...223..589V http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=12353 It appears that the entire solor system is experiencing global warming as well as some interesting cosmic activity. I guess it is too much of a stretch to consider that maybe the phenomenon is attributed to our only source of warmth in the first place.

I think it is important to note that it cannot be given by force which is what this war is really all about. The neocons believe that we can establish democracy in the middle east and that it would be in our best interest to do so. What rational they base this belief upon is beyond me. Consider this. A fellow classmate of mine who has served one term in Iraq and is fluent in Arabic described to me the difficulty of English to Arabic translation. The Arabic equivalent of "Freedom" does not exist. The closest Arabic words are "lawless" and "anarchy". When telling Iraqi citizens that we are trying to establish "Freedom" in Iraq, they responded to him with fear and anger because they interpret him as saying, "We are trying to establish anarchy in Iraq."
