I feel your pain, Pittsburgh fans. Boston just got knocked out after playing some of the most tired hockey I've yet witnessed.

If a team blows not only a three-game lead in the series, but a...

I highly recommend 2666. It's a gripping, multifaceted read. However, for all his talent describing the black hole of man's inhumanity to man, Bolaño certainly wasn't the wordsmith that Wallace was....

Good tune!

21st century logical fallacy: "Argument from You Tube."

Isn't this about science, not rhetoric? Please let us know exactly where the National Academy of Sciences of the USA is wrong in its model...

I have long suspected JFK of being involved in the JFK assassination.

Not as funny as the Onion story, but this article from the National Academy of Sciences of the USA outlines the methodology used to conclude that anthropogenic global warming isn't just a myth.
...

And there aren't corporations like ExxonMobil and Philip Morris who have a vested interest in portraying global climate change as nothing but Chicken Little hysteria? Let's at least admit that global...

I think they sound more like the same old conspiracy theories dealing with psi or the moon landing. The notion of a vast, insidious conspiracy of scientists is just the sort of fantasy that fuels...

This is correct.

The global warming debate is pretty futile, because whether or not human activity has any bearing on climate change, there are still many other reasons to take the kind of action...

All about faith, is it? Well, in that case, it's odd that there's no recognized scientific body anywhere on Earth that denies man made global warming. Feel free to turn this into a moral crusade of...

Basically, you're dismissing the vast, vast majority of scientists who have opinions on the issue. Dozens of recognized scientific associations worldwide affirm the impact of human activity in...

But it's okay to dismiss all the experts who affirm the validity of ACC? Your grasp of this issue is purely self-serving.

You found a youtube video of someone telling you what you want to hear. Therefore, regardless of how qualified you are to assess what he says, you accept what he says as fact.

Congratulations.

I think world environmental policy should be dictated by what someone says on youtube.

Roger Sessions won the Pulitzer Prize in 1982 for his last major work, the Concerto for Orchestra. Considering he had already composed nine symphonies, perhaps the title was a concession to symphonic...

I agree with lallison, a lot of these aren't suicide in the strictest sense. Poe? Come on.


Probable why?

I recall reading that people who knew Levi doubted it was a suicide. For a celebrated...

Just out of curiosity, by what standard do you judge Infinite Jest "mediocre"?

Well, after all, he's had a lot of time on his hands.

I love Calvino. Cosmicomics and its semi-sequel t zero are both among my favorite of his works.

I admit I thought If on a Winter's Night a Traveler was his best and most satirical work, and...

"Orchester-Zwischenspiel" - Gurrelieder, Arnold Schoenberg

The Bruins beat the Sabres in Game 6! On to the semifinals! Now, against our better natures, we Boston fans root for the Habs to beat the Capitals. We'd rather play Philly than the Penguins.

It's important to understand that the people who threatened Parker and Stone aren't whack jobs or homicidal maniacs. They're rational, educated clerics who have made the decision to believe that...

I think OrphanPip meant that the selective advantage is the decreased risk of a recessive gene expressing itself. This risk decreases because of biodiversity.

Conspiracy theories appeal to the kind of person who thinks nothing of announcing his contempt for anyone less credulous than him. I mean, what does it say about the objectivity of someone's research...

My Bruins could have clinched last night, but the Sabres decided to fight. On to game 6.
