  1. I don't understand the link... the image can turn either way depending which part you focus on to start with. Chocolate foot () is irrelevant.
  2. Damn, I missed that one. Yeah, go and read a Wikipedia page on genetics and breeding or something. We all evolved from basic life forms, right back to bacteria etc., but along the way, different species evolved which took a new route down the chain, forming the basis for everything we see now. Those different chains tend not to be compatible. Cats can breed with cats, even in the extreme (Liger anyone) but a cats gene's simply aren't compatible with a dog, elephant or giraffe- comical though those combinations may be.
  3. I'm here! Don't close it yet . How dare you. How very dare you. Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you've just spent way too much time in the States... That just makes me laugh. You 'believe' what you want. Whatever. You don't, however, know anything. 'The winning side' as opposed to what? The billions of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists etc. etc. who are all going to burn in eternal damnation? Good for you, man, hope you don't get lonely on your pedestal. And to be completely honest from what you said in the previous thread, if you weren't just worm food when you die you'd be in for a really big disappointment. I don't know that of course but I'd be willing to make one serious bet on it! Edit: Oh yeah, the Creationist stuff. To be fair, anyone who believes that shite seriously need to take a long hard look at themselves and try and remove themselves from the tea party they're having in Fairy Tale Land and try attempt to find some reality. (Sledghammer-esque enough?) Edit2: Nice one. You got me there. Oh, wait, since Darwin's time we've come on massively in science (no thanks to the church of course who if they had their way would still have us believe the Sun revolves around the Earth) and advances such as the analysis of DNA can prove the genetic link between species and we can pretty much map the way animals have evolved over millions of years. Darwin was right, even if he wasn't quite convinced of it himself.
  4. Was that suicide though? Seemed a little odd the way it went down. That guy was crazy though- the Matterhorn 'flight' was just nuts- he must've been so bloody close at a few points down there!
  5. 1) They were f**king amazing. 100x better than the pants that was in the 'world championships' crap in London. 2) Were those basketball shots for real? How many takes?!! 3) That poor puppy! Awesome.
  6. Kidding I presume Mr Abbey? He said that every single line in the video took hours and hours of attempts to get right. Consistency is never going to be easy to achieve when you're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with things people have never tried before.
  7. But it's still unfortunate, shall we say, that the Effect has been advertised as being 'available soon' for the past year or so. By delaying it so much they're really shooting themselves in the foot.
  8. Quite surprised Lewis didn't get a 10 place penalty or whatever for hindering Buemi... I thought that was a certainty!
  9. Phat pads on smooth. Quiet, powerful with good modulation, bling, replaceable... basically perfect for 24"!
  10. I don't doubt it but that doesn't help the fact that people have been awaiting the 'imminent' arrival of the Effect for months and I imagine a lot of those people are going to have decided to just go and buy and Inspired or Deng. Last I heard it was component specs on the complete's that were holding up the Ashton's but the frames should've been available for the past few months. At this rate Onza will have released a fashionable replacement for the Zoot before the final Effects land...
  11. Try the Phat pads on the smooth rim first. I'm running that on my Inspired and it's really good .
  12. Wrong section of the forum. Jeez.
  13. You gotta ask yourself what Ashton are playing at... Deng seems to have pushed these out in a few months from conception to retail. The Effects have been on the cards for years it seems and still no sign. Can't help thinking the Effect will be too late now...
  14. Mmm. I stand by the 'bollocks' label . By the simple fact that the people knew they were there as human number generators the automatic writing thing can't work. Anyway, this is meaningless because those people had nothing to do with the 'prediction' and were probably actors anyway!
  15. But to be fair that's all bollocks though isn't it? The pendulum thing you describe is just the way the human works. If you 'will' the pendulum to move your brain will tell your hand to make the movements necessary. However, when the subjects are told to write numbers on a bit of paper in front of them, they're going to write numbers on the paper in front of them, decided by their brain. There's nothing mystic or Ideomotor to it. So are you saying that Derren influenced the 'subjects' to make sure they wrote down the right numbers?
  16. I can think of one slight drawback if he was to do that... Not a drawback for the Lottery of course but still.
  17. Oh I hope so... his face and forced smile makes me want to never eat Frosties again. Which is kinda weird. Edit: Ah well, apparently not. He's a South African kid called Sven Ruygrok who's apparently quite a good gymnast...
  18. I'd obviously stopped paying attention at that point because what they're doing isn't even automatic writing... they're just writing 6 numbers down with their eyes closed. I don't really have an issue with Derren himself, not when he's being normal and narrating or whatever but the second another person's involved I hate the way he makes everything so deliberate and 'mystic'. I know that's probably necessary for what he's doing but it just makes him come across as an annoying arse.
  19. He's such a lying b*****d. I'd like to find out where he lives and push ping pong balls with random numbers on them through his letterbox.
  20. Ok, so throughout that entire program, what was the significance of the snowflake? Also, that 24 people thing's gotta be BS. If that was possible (which it isn't) a computer could do it billions of times more efficiently while actually analysing the probabilities of numbers coming up rather than just randomly choosing them. That was pants.
