"Does it bother you when I torture you?" -- Evo (20:15 EDT, 23 March 07)

I don't know that this is my best shot of a sunrise/set, but neither is it my worst:

You only lose your depth perception if you hold your head still. If you move your head around it comes right back without having to open your other eye. The reason should be obvious from the descriptions already given.

Provided the two events are related (not proven), I'd guess you clenched your teeth and knocked a filling loose. Do you mean "ticks all the time even when I'm not moving" or "ticks all the time when I'm talking/eating/swearing at the kbd/etc."?

I hit 94%. And no, I wasn't trying.

You mistake me. I hadn't forgotten that at all. But, in parallel, have you noticed the market was up a great deal this past year, a great deal more than the 5% it lost so far? My point is the original poster in that case was exercising a clearly partisan and rather dumb point. P.S.: As it...

In a much better place than it was in the year 2000. Who was president then? I forget.

That is the actual counter-argument: people start opening businesses later. More particularly, those with children really don't like their children walking to school in the dark. So the first thing (this happened when Carter tried it) is the schools start opening later. Then those parents that...

You know, this is could be a very interesting contest. The current leaders are larkspur's and mine. Both are macro (close in magnified) shots, but larkspur's is wet, mine is beyond dry. One is very green and light, the other very dark and red. They are about as opposite as you can get within...

I would agree with that up to a point. I fell off the top of the only IQ test I ever took (senior year of HS, administered by the school), and immediately vowed never to take another one in my life. In my case, it's a moral point: I officially have no upper limit, only a lower bound. That test...

I suspect it was the guy I was going to transship the Teddy Ruxpin through.
