    I suppose claiming ESP is real is like claiming cold fusion is real. You better have some damn good proof because there have been a lot of shoddy claims that didn't hold up in prac…

    Man, I sure loved _Heavy_Metal_ when I was a teenager. Sex, drugs, rock and roll, fed all my nerdy escapist fantasies. And you know that first scene, when the scientist comes out o…

    What libertine thing are you referring to? Equal rights for gay people, women making the same wages as men for equivalent work? I'm from a southern state, and I hear a lot of grous…
