I think the figures for the success of abstention programs, are false. I think the reality is that birth control information, and even birth control means can be found and purchased off the internet. I think this is the resource that teens are using to keep their birthrate down, not abstention.

People who have twins or triplets still consider the first born, the oldest, even if they are all the same age. Could they be 12 year old triplets? 3x12? The sum of the age would be the same as the product.

What I don't get, is this. Why can't we make a flying disc, that spins in opposition to the Earth's spin, as fast as it takes to stand still, and let the Earth rotate away from it? The outer skin would have to rotate in this way, the interior would stay still.

Be sure, I would love to run across blatant magic. But, really the world, just as it is, is pure magic. I have a healthy respect for the progress of time and time's magnificent evolution. The thing about Titor's sad prophecies, is that there are so many better daydreams, about the fate of our world.

Most of us don't know what is on Mars yet. We have been shown what the cameras see, once they have been screened. In the first images, I saw plenty of things in the sky, then that stopped. I have seen before and after depressions in the ground that look like, oh foot prints, shall we say? I...

One of the worries of using DNA from bacteria stable at high heat, would be the creation of predator strains, that do not die at high heat, that can't be washed off the dishes. Very poor people don't experience much sanitation, and if we make super bugs, they are defenseless.
