    Mystery Object Survives Black Hole

    Indeed. I think the note being that a dispersed cloud will enter orbit of the black hole and will stretch over a large area and thus parts will be closer while others are further and it will experience significant distortion. A denser object occupies less space and the differential would be...

    Noob question on Chemistry Basics

    Your first sentence is pretty key. It is what I would use to layman explain most things. Why does H2O come about? It is more stable! Well then why does nitroglycerin come about then that is not stable? Because energy was put in, if you have energy you can make unstable things exist, stability is...

    Anime That Makes You THINK?

    Going with Ghost in the Shell as the most cerebral with Eva as most philosophical. Gotta say that Kaiba was a good one. I find that most hard science fiction pertaining to space usually gets me thinking about the future of mankind. Gunbuster and Planetes being the notable cases.

    Stupidist things youve heard people say

    Ground to sky lightning happens. In some variants two streamers are one from the cloud and one from the ground. When they meet discharge occurs.

    Science is based on faith?

    Exactly what I am saying. Yes it requires the least faith but faith never the less. Everything requires faith therefore science being part of everything requires faith, to deny that would not be particularly scientific.

    Science is based on faith?

    Nope it is about science. Faith does not imply religion. As a person involved in research I can say that even if you are doing the studies yourself you are taking it on faith.

    Most beautifully fucked up character you've seen

    Definitely Johan. One of my favorite shows of all time.

    Your skill level compared to your friends

    Decent at most shooters. Can beat them at simple stuff like COD and keep up at ArmA 2. However one of my friends is an RTS genius of micromanaging so I can never beat him.

    Nuclear bombs kill the will to clean

    It was designed based on the 50's preconception of what a nuclear wasteland would look like. That is it's style. In the making of fallout 3 they state something along the lines of "we know that there probably would have been nuclear winter but we liked the 50's image, a dry wasteland".

    Favorite Webcomic

    Man they are hard to read though. The most recent one is amazing. For me it is SMBC. I honestly think that it is usually funnier than xkcd. http://www.smbc-comics.com/

    Help I need some Anime.

    Tell us what you want damn it. Ninja scroll fits your bizarre criterion set. However if you want something mature about samurai, brace yourself and give Shigurui a try. Be warned this is the most gory show I have ever seen by a looong shot and deals with mature themes (sex and violence). A...
