Gellner's Comments

@Ryan S:

There are quite a few more species of animals that have passed the mirror test.

In fact, all of the great apes past the test; orcas, elephants and magpies also pass the test.

Other animals are able to pass a variation of that test, such as pigeons.

I was slightly disappointed not to see the end of 'Gangs of New York' there's a great shot of the city going up over the years, with an equally powerful shot of the towers.

I quickly learned as a Freshman in college and spending over 600 bucks on books my first semester to wait to buy the books. More often than not, the teachers would put down a huge list of books, sometimes 4 or even 5 books...which you might never even use during class, or would use once.

This is definitely not the reason the cost of books is so high, but it's part of the problem. Another problem is the teachers requiring the latest edition of the texts. You might find a 2008 version of the 2011 text for ten or fifteen bucks, about a tenth of the price. The content of the text is not that different, so there's no reason to require the newest version each year. Especially in certain subjects, which don't change that much from year to year.

I love how they just ignore movies in a series that sucked so they can call them a trilogy. If only that were the case, there would be no Matrix trilogy at all. It would be just the first movie!

"Creationism, intelligent design, whateverthehellyouwanttocallit, has absolutely ZERO place in a SCIENCE classroom. It can be taught in a religious course, but NOT in a science course.

Evolution is a fact. Plain & simple. There is no "debate." There is no "controversy." There is no "other side."

The fact that we're even asking this question is embarrassing."
