Try looking from more than one perspective. Think about it.

Mark Davis

How about getting a 4th for Scandella only to watch Mtl get a 2nd and a 4th for the same guy a few weeks later? That's a good one. Montreal got a second for nothing. You're welcome. Some me of the salary stuff still lingers with Murray but Bots gets the brunt. And here I thought we were managed so we could pounce this off season. LOL.

Is prat good down under? Drake's equation was meant to "hype" the possible existence of intelligent aliens and draw more $$$$$$$$ for the researchers. At the time it made sense. As the equation has been filled in with increasingly better data, zeroes have popped up as the product of the equation. As you're aware, anything times zero equals zero. It is unclear which factor or factors is a zero, but at least one fits the bill. Certainly the quantity of planets is not it. Holy Moly. I admit I've mocked Drake's equation and stoners who stare at the sky and say "whoa dude that's like really big" but I certainly haven't relied on them. I've relied on the data.....the math. If something was there to be found, it is almost inconceivable it wouldn't have been found yet. Don't rely on me. Don't rely on Drake. Don't even rely on Von Neumann or Fermi. Rely on the results, and the math behind them.

There are a few steps; none of them are difficult. They have been spelled out in this thread. Rid your analysis of emotion and wishful thinking and voila. If you want it spelled out the best way to spell it, although not the only way, is...V,o,n,N,e,u,m,a,n

Dude just think about it using actual logic.

Heart?

You didn't really do your homework did you Sue?

Excellent. If you thought it through correctly you've arrived at the conclusion that intelligent life does not exist elsewhere in the universe. Did you think it through correctly?

Think about what you wrote. Do so objectively. Think about what it means regarding the likelihood of intelligent life elsewhere.

But will it dissuade those who want rainbow farting unicorns, time machines and other equally realistic goals?

Look at what he wrote, clear your mind for a second and think. Try to stay away from emotions. Be rational.

He is lost. He might as well call him Ping Pong Panda.

Except math. Accept math.

Carlos Santana but the one from the Cleveland Indians?

Do they also talk with stupid accents and root for teams that cheat?

Wow. If Bernie succeeded with enough of his stupid plans, it would inevitably lead to dictatorship just like it has everywhere else it's been tried. He might not personally have a lot of people slaughtered, but eventually it would happen. Bernie might not be like Stalin or Castro but the system he wants is like the system they wanted.

If a Canadian is considered a conscious being, why not an electron?

Trading him to Miami?

Didn't you say we could judge the Scandella trade once we knew what Montreal got for him? How's it look now?

Cher and the Hermits?

Dave Mathews band?

Don't be a jerk by insinuating people aren't rooting for the Sabres. I don't think that is true for anyone and it certainly isn't true for me. I want them to win every single game. Two good wins in a row and you're on here with a "see I told you so"? Shirley.

The Who

Bwyan got his revenge when we hired Tim. It's still paying off.
