Absolutely NO religion room
on: July 17, 2007, 10:08:25 PM
A religion free room, for open discussion on science, archeology, history, geography, banjos and just about anything else, in a relaxed non religious atmosphere.

I have been wondering for some time, could we with todays technology build an exact to scale replica of the Great pyramid.

the luxor in las vegas?  it's cool.  all the rooms hang from the ceiling like a beehive.  the tombs and canal boatrides are in the basement.

and why do women get lung cancer at an alarming rate (when they often don't smoke) and die at 35 -40?  wierd.  are women's lungs more delicate?  pollution.  second hand smoke?  one reader's digest article suggested even diet could play a role.

I was hoping to develop some sensible conversation, not concerning the Las Vegas pyramid.

Naff orff.

Which particular one of Orff's works are you accusing of being "naff"? (not that I am disagreeing with you, mind!)...

I am trying to create a room for sensible debate.

Please go and infest another thread.

Go away.

It might seem so if it could be taken seriously but, since there isn't so much as a shred of evidence that pianistimo actually has any idea about Thal's girlfriend status, I would be inclined to ignore it if I were you...
