    How Does Science Work?

    Sorry, thank you for letting me know. I'm just extremely frustrated with his attitudes with science and I've had it up to here trying to convince him he's wrong.

    Request Math Help Regarding Tsunamis

    The idea came from watching a show on Tsunamis. They said that there was a danger from an island called Cumbre Vieja of a huge Tsunami several hundered feet tall. The island itself is a volcanic island. I don't know how to figure out the volume, the gargantuan Tsunami is capable of reaching...

    How Does Science Work?

    I have a friend whom I believe is gravely mistaken about how science works. He believes that science works by coming up with a hypothesis then by doing everything you can to disprove the hypothesis. If it can't be disproved then the hypothesis becomes correct. Is this true? In all of my...

    Request Math Help Regarding Tsunamis

    If a Tsunami were two hundred feet tall how many tons of materials would be needed from a landslide of some sort to create that height? I have looked for this on the internet and haven't been able to find anything, so your help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Justified: New FX Series

    It was an all right episode. One of the things I did like about it is how they portrayed the old convict. Usually they tend to play these guys as ruthless and mean spirited. But this guy was actually downright friendly. But still, even at that he was nobody to mess around with. So far I've...

    Caprica The Continuity Error

    There is a big continuity error in Caprica. In the last season of BSG, on the episode just after they find the nuked planet, they establish that the Cylons are centuries if not more than a millenium old. Caprica changed all this and states that they are only about fifty years old and created...

    Should the DM accommodate characters, or characters accommodate DMs?

    Well, here's my suggestion for a solution, if the guy wants a mount, and your campaign is on water or in water or under it, then why not give him a waterborne mount of some sort?

    Favourite Fantasy Settings

    II like all four editions of D&D from Basic to d20 D&D. I am partial to 2nd Edition as that is my favorite. As far as 4e goes, I'm a grognard. I won't touch it. Simply because I've been through four different versions of the game, as I've been playing the game since roughly around 1980...

    Lord Save Me From Rabid Fans (Wolfman vs Twilight?!?!?!?)

    There's a saying. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in groups.

    Is D&D all about murder and pillaging?

    The point I've been trying to make is that in early editions of D&D is that the xp awards were not for accomplishing overall goals. There were only three, treasure, monsters and above average stats. That supports the conclusion that at least for early editions of D&D it was all about killing...

    Favourite Fantasy Settings

    My favorite setting for D&D is Forgotten Realms. It's kind of weird though, I've never really been a fan of swords and sorcery fantasy novels except for rpgs.

    Lord Save Me From Rabid Fans (Wolfman vs Twilight?!?!?!?)

    According to this article, the wolfman movie is a rip off of Twilight. :p News: Taylor Lautner Fan Letter To Universal: Your Wolfman Ripped Off Twilight | Latino Review Oy. Just oy. This is just one reason why some people think fans are weird. But you should see the comments. Some people...

    LOST: The Final Season (Spoilers)

    A funny coincidence? the Man In Black was also the nickname of a famous country singer. His name was Johnny Cash. One of his hit songs was called.... Ring Of Fire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It7107ELQvY Hmmmmm.... Maybe the whole series is a disguised dedication to this man?

    Is D&D all about murder and pillaging?

    Ahem, you missed this part: Mmorgs force you to kill the monster to get the treasure. WoW is like this. So is Champions Online. And you can certainly claim that it is about exploration, but exploration is simply a means to achieve an end, and is not the true focus. The true focus is on...

    Did anybody catch the mistake in "The Substitute?" Hurley parked so close to Locke's van that he couldn't have gotten out in the first place.

    Is D&D all about murder and pillaging?

    Hmmmmm... let's see... Basic D&D says on page 12 (not Rules Cyclopedia, original book and yes I STILL have mine): But there are points that I wanted to express: you got xp from killing monsters and getting loot in D&D Basic. There was only one other bonus, and that was from above average...

    Is D&D all about murder and pillaging?

    Don't confuse a game system mechanics with real life. But for a direct answer, it all depends on the game. Some games don't reward you for doing what they did. They would've just rewarded you killing the baby seals for their fur.
