    Sheep gives birth to lamb with human head.

    I see two types of replies: 1) It's obviously a result of a human banging a sheep. 2) A human and a sheep cannot cross-breed. The egg wouldn't get fertilized. (I'm guessing it could be done in a test tube, but the embryo would live for, what, a minute?) It has to be bullshit. Here's a...

    Your Top 5 Western RPGs and Your Top 5 JRPGs (Single Player)

    Western: Baldur's Gate 2 Neverwinter Nights (for modding, the expansions, and certain fan-made mods) Temple of Elemental Evil (best use of the D&D rules in a PC game EVARR) Dragon Age: Origins Planescape: Torment JRPGs: FFX is honestly the only one I have really enjoyed. And that's...

    Ever been in tears of laughter during a game?

    Portal and Duke Nukem 3d immediately come to mind. The GTA games had plenty of OMGROFL moments too. Lots of games have made me chuckle at the occasional funny line, like Ghostbusters and most Bioware games, but not that many have made me laugh uncontrolably.

    Poll: Would you play a game based on the Bible?

    Well, that's a tough one. My initial thoughts were "fuck no", since I'm an atheist, but some good points have been made here. Revelation could be made into an interesting game. I'm thinking it wouldn't make much sense to play as Jesus or something like that... How about a party of perfectly...

    Most stupid reason to hate a video game character

    Dragon Age: I hated Flemeth because she's voiced by Kate Mulgrew... aka Captain Janeway... *shudder* GTA IV: I hated Roman because someone was stupid enough to put him in the game... Doesn't count, does it?

    Your WORST game of the decade

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: Metal Gear Solid 3. /ducks No, I'm serious, but I won't give that rant *again*. I was just so incredibly disappointed by it, because I was expecting it to be awesome, since the cutscenes could be skipped. But since the game is incredibly dull when...

    What has pissed you off the most when you game online?

    I'm gonna go with... *drumroll*... the people. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that 90% of the people I've run into online (in a game or otherwise) are assholes with no respect for absolutely anyone. They're the kind of people who think: "No one here will ever find out who I am and...

    Poll: NASA and public funding

    This kind of thinking is the problem. We don't need it *NOW*, so who cares? Better to spend money on things that are actually important. It makes sense *right now*. It seems the responsible thing to do *right now*. However, it shows complete ignorance of how science works, and of the potential...

    Poll: Teachers going on strike, your thoughts?

    I'm studying to become a high school teacher, and no, not needing a doctorate has nothing to do with it. It sounds like you're asking if the appeal is that it's something you do if you can't go "all the way". That's not it. I like to teach. More specifically, I like to teach young people. Not...

    Mom Calls 911 Over Son's Non-Stop Gaming

    EDIT: This reply is fubar. Ignore it. I appologize.

    Mom Calls 911 Over Son's Non-Stop Gaming

    Yup. "AAAAAARCH!!! OH THE PAIN!!! AAAARRGHHH!!! "WAH! WAH!" "There we go! It's a boy!" "*pant* Fuck that hurt. But on the bright side, that's it." "Well, uh... you still have to raise hi-..." "Hey, you know what, I think I can do this a few more times, doc. See you in about a year."...

    Best Line in any game!

    "Can we kill something? Please? Something small?" -- Lilarcor, BG2 (and of course Minsc's classics, but someone beat me to it...) "I'm gonna rip off your head and shit down your neck" (and then actually doing it!) -- Duke Nukem (yeah, ninja'd on that one as well) "Shit! You work fast...

    is space infinate?

    ... and since gravity only "travels" at c, anything beyond that (initially) infinitessimal bubble wouldn't give a rats ass what's in it. You got me. Infinite matter and energy is possible. Ah. My knowledge of GR is limited to knowing what it's about. I understand the accelerating elevator...

    is space infinate?

    Black hole =/= wormhole. A black hole is not really a hole, like a tunnel. It's a point with zero size and non-zero mass (typically multiple times the mass of our sun, in some cases millions of times that). This means there's a volume of space around it, the boundry of which is called the event...

    is space infinate?

    The original singularity was everywhere. By collecting around "where the singularity was", matter spreads out throughout the universe, fairly evenly. This leads to three possibilities (as far as I can tell): 1) The universe has positive matter density and finite matter, and is finite. 2)...
