lol. wouldn't the light break fairly easy if it was the size of a head? http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20080812/teddy-bear-lamp-might-scar-your-child-for-life/ One could be made for significantly cheaper, but it could look like that.

Gag gift? Like a Ballgag? I'd love to get one of them for christmas!!! : Cause you disturb the neighbors? I say get her a teddy bear with a light bulb for a head. Girls like teddy bears and light, right? So, a combination is even better!

O:) You could always get a technical training doing something. Working on motorcycles maybe?

Provide me a set of events where child molestation has benefits. This situation should be plausible, not filled with nonsense. Please read my posts in this thread. Please try again? I don't see your story becoming a reality in this millennium. Okay, you didn't read my posts, you read a post, try again. [/hide] Again, there is no situation you present. You simply say that just by adding the words "Benefits of ___" makes it have some sort of benefit to society or to the abused. Molest a child to save 10 people from being murdered? The 10 people have benefited from a child being molested. Not realistic, but creates a benefit from molesting a child.

The idea of a recession "purging the rottenness out of the system" ended with Hoover 70 years ago (Hoover had misguided advisers). The idea of weak companies going under is ok and will happen, but during a recession can make things worse. GM going under will make a bad situation worse, where as if it wasn't a recession, the economy could take the hit. Addressed above, but also the US is not a purely free market system, so why treat it as so? And the US has been in worse debt, we'll be fine especially now that we don't have a Reaganomics-esque president (soon anyways).

I wish I could read that fast, but sadly my mind wanders every 25-35 pages. What do you read? My mind does the same if it's not a book I'm interested in ;) I read anything that catches my interest.. and that tends to be mostly science fiction/fantasy books. That's what I used to read (Robert Jordan, Terry Goodkind, Pratchett, and it goes on), but now I've started reading old academic texts and NY Times. However, I still pick up a book by Philip K. Dick(one of my favorite authors) or Vonnegut that I haven't yet read every now and then.

It does prove difficult when they make the separating so damn easy.

I'm that really funny guy who can make anyone laugh. Or the guy with a voice like a TV/radio show host.

That must mean you have at least four feet! :shock:

I find people fascinating and could never see hating them, but I'm a great deal more easy going than your average person. Almost like an old man. I've found myself to generally believe in people (I usually give people the benefit of the doubt), but at the same time I find people to be naturally selfish and greedy. What I do find funny though is that so many of you (people in general, not pointing fingers) talk about other people like you're different from them. You're not. I'm not. But we find comfort in separating others from ourselves and feeding our egos. Ah well, so it goes.

If you come to the US, you might have to take the TOEFL to show you know english.

Clearly that baby beat it's brother into a bunch of parts while in the womb and then ate the parts. Unfortunately, fetus limbs are cancerous.

Maybe not pain per se but it probably doesn't feel good to get killed by an acid overdose. You can't OD on LSD. Care to test that theory? Waaaaay ahead of you. O:)

There are white lies and then there are you're-going-to-burn-in-Hell lies. Obviously white lies don't have as dire consequences.

Well, it applies to both. I know it applies to both but reading the replies/opinions kinda implies some/most people are only impling this to men and says nothing about the other half of it. Many men don't feel uncomfortable about the other side. Quite the opposite really.

Don't you know? They already won; Obama got elected. Soon we'll all become evil and write literature.

So extra sleep benefits a person under a decreased sleep pattern? Naps have been shown beneficial when used with normal sleep patterns.

I'm quite the non-violent individual, so no. I'll never even fight someone.

It's been said, but bloggers are not good sources. Much worse than an uncited wiki page. This isn't some opinion on sleep, it's a scientific argument, start treating it like one. Don't get mad at me for pointing out faults. Some people naturally sleep for less time than others. For example, Bill Clinton was well known to sleep very little, but the average person is not Bill Clinton nor an astronaut.

The first test is interesting, although not that big of a decrease on amount slept and it doesn't say over how much time (it is just an abstract). It also only tested a single group, not the general population. Too much bias for my liking. The second is a blogger. I don't think I need to say anymore than that.

Er, precious metals? GM and Ford are going to use the money to restructure (I don't know much about Chrysler's plan). Significantly cheaper to loan them money than have them go bankrupt.

I want you to change the claim to "potential alternative." The point being you do not know that it can readily replace normal sleep. It is interesting and may be possible, but not validated. What you're claiming is along the same line as many natural Chinese herbs that supposedly cure cancer; unvalidated and usually false. I do know it can readily replace sleep, I don't know if the effects are negative in the long run. How do I know? There are many people who have gotten this to work. Furthermore, you yourself have altered your sleep pattern, you ARE able to change the pattern you sleep in. Let me rephrase then, readily replace sleep in either a neutral or beneficial manner that continues to work in the long run in the average person. Stupid semantics.

It was a profound discovery, when it was discovered. This is a cycle used by many animals, it isn't a huge leap to believe humans could do it too. Judging from your not responding to the trials bit, I'll treat it as an infomercial. Pseudoscience. Just because an animal can do it, doesn't mean we can.
