Why rule this out?
A different universe might have different laws, if the cyclic model is true, and there will be infinite big crunches/bangs, but I highly doubt that there could be a world where the conservation laws don't apply.
What's the last thing you want to hear before dying?
We may discover new rules of the universe, but for the universe to re-write rules itself, it would have to alter the nature of its matter and energy. As North Star noted, the laws of thermodynamics, as well as the laws of entropy, counter the possibility. So, the universe "writing new laws" is a nice concept for coffee-house metaphysics, but it has no scientific basis, whatsoever.
The last thing I'd want to hear before dying would be. . . "With a purple umbrella"
Nah, just kidding but I don't know -- I think it wouldn't matter since I was about to leave anyway.
Where would you hide your gold, if you were a leprechaun?
In an abandoned gold mine? Like Calvin hiding in the bathtub so his mother can't give him a bath. Kind of.
Why does using a Q-tip feel so good?
Nice. . . I wonder if anyone here's ever been to an abandoned gold mine. . .
Hm... I think it feels good because. . . okay - definitely because we have fond memories associated with it. Also feels comfortable. . .
Same question!.
simple pleasures in life---lying down when youre tired, eating when youre hungry, drinking when youre thirsty, getting dry when youre wet, getting cool when youre hot, getting warm when youre cold, voiding your bladder when its full---and unclogging things that are clogged.
what's your favorite monty python scene from holy grail?
The part when God tells Arthur his plan about the Holy Grail, Arthur responds "Good idea, Lord," and God--incensed by Arthur's hubris--snorts "of course it is." If I hear the elderberries scene quoted once more...I will never see the movie again.
Are video games art?...why or why not?
Yes. They take a lot of skill in digital painting and computer graphics and CGI
Did you ever play "Pong"?
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way

Sadly, I am that old. Darn fun it was, too.
Looking forward to the NFL draft?
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Mahatma Gandhi
theres a funny commercial for something, I cant remember what even---with andy Roddick playing pong in tennis.
I think even when I was younger and paid more attention to the nfl, I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the draft. so no for me.
of all the remakes/re-writes of Sherlock holmes, both in tv, movies and books, which have you enjoyed the most? or found the most innovative? or refreshing? or true to the original? or some other question(s) ive not asked...smiles...
None has been true to the original with the possible exception of a BBC radio version I heard back in the 1970s. Unfortunately I can find no trace of it now.
Did Oswald act alone?
Jah, Occam's Razor, also that's what my dad told me.
Are there wrong reasons for loving someone?
If you mean romantic love, then yes, lots of them.
Are erotic and spiritual love really different aspects of the same thing?
There's a litany of wrong reasons for loving someone: shallowness, residual need from psychological trauma, adolescent admiration for transgressive behavior, need of or desire for money, narcissistic appreciation for their subjugating themselves, and many more. Love can be a dark fun house.
