    Trump’s Holy War - He’s Like Jesus???

    Well, we kind of saw this--just not with Biden, but Obama. Consider the imagery around his campaign and subsequent presidency: magazine covers with haloes, glowing nimbuses of light, headlines like "The Second Coming," artwork (like the Shepherd Fairey "Hope" poster) that resembles religious...

    As opposed to what, banana-shaped? :ROFLMAO: It wasn't a presumption. It was an established physical fact agreed to amongst educated people, based on observations by sailors and astronomers. For example, they knew the earth always cast a circular shadow on the moon during lunar eclipses, and...

    Anyone else locked out? (4:40, Apr. 9)

    Got a message from one of the users asking if he was locked out. Turns out there hasn't been much posting from anyone in the last few hours. Is anyone else unable to post a reply to this thread?

    The Student Manual

    My alma mater, the University of Waterloo, is apparently a wildlife sanctuary and lousy with mallards when I was there. (I lived in an on-campus residence in first year, and it took me a few weeks to get used to all the quacking when I was trying to sleep.) Sadly, every year a few ducks would be...
