Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

What about Sea Wasps(most posionous jelly fish in existance, followed by the Box jelly fish)?  Or the most human agressive species of shark?  Or the multitudes of posionous spiders and snakes?

I'll deal with the occational hurricane, thank you.



About the topic:  Does anybody remember how long the original twenty lasted before we had to meddle in a great system?  Sure, counterfieting was a problem, but now that we are constantly changing the design and countermeasures, don't you think that it delivers the message: 'I bet you cant fake this'?  If we'd just settle on a good design and leave it alone for a decade or so, it woul stop being such a problem.  It would save tons of money as well, have you any idea how much money could be allocated to freedom-proofing america(Patriot II) instead of fake-proofing the most widely circulated bill?

We have lots of poisonous invertebrates. If you can deal with those, you'll be fine. :D

Have you seen how our economy's been doing lately, Turnsky? Our dollar's really climbed recently, I should start importing some stuff. ;)

That picture of Jackson looks like one of those new annoying pop-up ads on websites -- you know, those Flash animations that have a really small close box in the corner.  I liked it better with the elliptical border. ;)

Screw worm flies? I had to study them for a primary school science project... the scary thing is that they only feed on living flesh. *shudders* Gives me the heebie-jeebies. :shaking:

dunno. it's a kind of fly that supposedly lives around ( well, sometimes IN, I suppose :p ) horses and cows. Lots of cows and horses around my place, but I've never seen such flies ( well, at least, haven't been stung and eaten alive by spiked lil larvaes. the thought of it makes me shudders, tho I admit )

well, wait untill you see them €100 bills, there huge.

the 500 is pretty nice though, 200 is slightly ugly.

i saw them all IRL, when we went to the bank to open a new account the guy just got the new money and showed us, pretty cool.
