Of course not! Only the Illuminati, and anyone whose initials are WS, would get the true meaning behind my message; for you, they must be mere words of little consequence.

Huh, you said something? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: OT: Extrasolar planets discovered directly
 

I once read a short story about Sherlock Holmes. In this story the radio was invented but mankind could not hear any alien messages and there was concern why. It transpired as part of the story that the quantum uncertainty field covering the earth, due to the fact that it was not known if Sherlock Holmes indeed died falling from Niagara falls, meant that no alien messages could get through. Another story was written with proof that he survived. At this the quantum uncertainty field was removed and suddenly we were inundated with alien radio traffic. very wierd book.

Oh, don't worry. We've had religious discussions and we still like each other.

I sincerely believe in extrasolar intelligent life. There MUST be life out there. I'm not saying that little green (and tall gray) men are here abducting humans (and cows) for medical experiments because I think that is pure male cow excrement, but I am convinced extraterrestrial intelligent life does exist, if not in humanoid form then in silicon-based crystalline form or even energy-based gaseious form or whatever, but there IS intelligent life out there people!

Funny Site, thanks.

Nah, I would say it's a bit extreme to call this thread a Grenade. What kind of peaceful utopia forum do you come from? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Shrapnel here is usually great for mature posters and not the typical internet crowd (As Narf said, the Political and Religious threads do get slightly toasty at times though.) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif We have these conversations safe in the knowledge that it won't explode.

But dam, Do you come from the Heaven of Forums? The uBB Of Eden?
Imagines a utopian paradise, long sprawling forests, hills, rivers and lakes. A beautiful almost clear sky, animals graze peacefully. Then the Phong's Head Bar and Grill lot charge through...

Actually, I think these arguements draw us together.

/me throws some popcorn. 'Boo! Hiss! I want more arguements! What is this, a sewing convention?'

Re: OT: Extrasolar planets discovered directly
 

It's kinda hard to have an arguement when, since Atrocities dropped out of the conversation, all the opinions expressed have been agreeing with each other!
