the conspiracy surrounding the davinci code has been around, before there was ever a book written for media sensation...but either way, it strikes a lot of people, personally.

gnostics have a very, different opinion of the bibical myths...

stupidity, if it is in a book, on tv, or said by the right person it is "gospel" to the masses, if it is said by the wrong person it is considered a "consiperacy" (you know your friend GW

most Americans do not have the ability to do anything but accept the spoon their fed.

NASCAR?

you brought up fiction not me

but you make a good point it has to be horrendous to get viewers, a simple car wreck who cares but a 50 car pillup well thats news at 5 - 6 top story, you just know their hopeing for a body.

if everything was explained where is the mystery? where is the reason to watch? If week after week it is the same explnation wouldnt it get boring?

You're within his reach; since you didn't declare you were casting defensively the firbolg takes an attack of opportunity on you with his greatsword.

*rolls*

Natural 20...possible crit...roll to confirm...

17, modified to a 29, that'll hit for...

*rolls*

63 points of damage. Your mage is toast.

I'm sorry, what were we talking about again?

I dunno... a 5d4 MM would make me pretty high level. To quote a famous line among my circle of friends that was spoken in a rifts campaign when the sun went supernova on a character: I think I can roll with it.

If this isnt possible, then we are in a universe that isnt infinite or has infinite possibility.

Therefore I can easily say ghosts dont exist.

I see.

Well for starters, I didn't say time and possibility are unending, I said we don't know enough to say accurately what's possible or impossible.

But for arguments sake, If everything is possible, then that doesn't mean it has to happen ever. That's within the definition of 'possible.' It means something can happen, not will happen.

...and I fail to see why someone from the year 506060943 would be concerned with proving you right. In fact, I'd say it's more likely that they would avoid doing so at all costs to avoid contaminating the time line.

Just because can happen doesn't mean it should happen either.

if you look at it from the perspective of infinity, A possibility most happen. If it does not then it is impossible.

The greater amount of time and oppurtunity you allow for a possibility to occur the greater the likley hood of it actauly occuring is. until you reach the infinite in whcih case every possiblity must occur. Which is why the universe at this moment is not inifite.

All evidence so far has shown that shes lying, from the fact that shes changed her story from 20 men raping her (in 1 bathroom and for about 7 minutes) to just 3 men, to now well maybe 1 guy.

They found no DNA matching the lalcrosse guys.. interesting eh? I wonder WHOs DNA they DID find.

SHe has a prior record of falsely accusing someone else of raping her which turned out to be bunk...

Did I mention she is a drug addicted part time hooker yet?

The fact that this shit is still going on is a testimate to the anti white male feelings in the country that have given us such gems as quotas, lowered standards, extra admissions points for some minorities (not all, asians get fucked) and affrimitive action.

They're saying that they DID find SOME DNA on the girl........whether or not it was one of the players will be known shortly (or not.)

As for things being anti-white male.....I have no idea if that's true or not (being a white woman.........*bump* sorry, must've hit the Glass Ceiling.......)

I'll take those books, Dy!

It is possible to cast a spell as long as you believe in it. You can also just tell the person and let it take a whole new life of it's own. There are no such things as fortunretellers.

And this guy should know.

At least 9th level, sure. Of course that means you've got an average of 2.5hp per level, which equates to 23hp, rounded up. Even if you've got a Con of 12, which will raise the average hp to 32, and a stoneskin on, you're still being dropped to -11hp with that hit. Dead.

That quote reminds me of what my friend said once in a game. He was playing a wizard and got pissed because the fighters always rushed in before he could get any area-effect spells off. One day he went ahead and cast fireball on a bunch of trolls after the sword-swingers had already waded in. When they protested, he replied "Meh, you can take the damage." That became gospell afterwards.

Speaking of "real" magic, I'm always amused when I see "magickians" talking about Frazer's The Golden Bough as if it were a how-to book on spells and magic. He's the guy that brought to light how all magic is based on two logical fallacies: The Law of Contact (or Contagion) and the Law of Similarity.
