I was led to these two articles from an article on Cracked.com:
BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Would he be even more handsome called Ryan?
What's in a name? The difference between being seen as attractive or not (or why Sophies are successful and Helens are unlucky) | Mail Online
According to these...
Okay, I'd like to see what theories people have for who that little girl is and why she was regenerating. If she's regenerating like that, she must be at least part Time Lord. Last I recall, the Doctor and Amy never did anything apart from kissing. If they did, neither of them seem to...
I did a journey a while back where I went to speak with my "Warrior self." After we talked, he handed to me what looked to be a twig or miniature branch with a nest on it. I can't remember if the nest was empty or not. I'm trying to figure out what it could mean because I'm thinking that...
I believe that "God," is a concept. In every occurrence of the word (that I've found), "God" guides those who follow it/him/her. So in reality, "God" is simply a tool for guidance.
When a Christian follows God, they look to him for the way they view and interact with the world.
When a Muslim...
I'm thinking of getting a colored tattoo in between my shoulder blades. One thing I'm concerned about is that I have fairly dark skin. Actually it can't seem to make up its mind. I'm half Chinese, half Filipino, so I can go from really light yellow to really dark brown. So I have a couple...
Is it really that important?
I know it's said to be bad luck or some juju like that to go "against the sun" with widdershins and in the northern hemisphere, it's counter-clockwise.
But in my opinion, following the sun is going to the past. Spatially, we were already there a few hours ago. So...
My girlfriend and I recently got into a debate about the story of Avatar: The Last Airbender (the cartoon, not the movie). She believes that, because of the original venue chosen, the overall story did not reach its full potential. She believes that, if written well as a book, as an adult (not...
I've lately thought about how we residents of the United States call ourselves "Americans," when the name "America" applies to two entire continents (North America, and South America). Because of that, we can't really be the only "Americans" on the continent, as all other peoples on these two...
I've brought this up in the past, but I feel the need to bring it up again, but with an additional question.
Why is it that, for the majority of people, when we hear a compliment on our appearance from a stranger, we get weirded out?
But when we hear criticism from a stranger, we're more...
My sister and I have used one in our house. It's just a common one that you get from a toy store, glow in the dark and everything.
In using it, my sister and I discovered that we have a spirit in our house. He was asked by my grandmother, who had died recently, to watch over us. He had great...
"Sign People" are the name I have for those people who stand on a soapbox, yelling at everyone who passes by, telling them to repent or convert, lest they go to Hell or wherever their faith says non-believers go.
I'm sure the majority of us have encountered them, so I'd like to hear how others...
I'm doing an informative speech on Paganism, and I'm trying to find artwork on what early Pagans were believed to look like (yes, I know they were just normal people :P). I know I've seen paintings, but I can't seem to find any on the web >.< So can anybody who has some or knows where to find...
I'm writing an informative speech for my Speech 100 class on Paganism, and I just want to know if I should include Hinduism as a Pagan religion.
One of the (many) definitions I've seen for "Paganism" is that it describes any non-Abrahamic, polytheistic religion, so I was wondering if Hindus...
I live in southern California, but I'm not 100% sure if I could get in trouble for this. And I'm not advising anyone else should do it. If anyone knows whether or not I'll get in trouble, please let me know.
I'm planning on taping (NOT WRITING) some words on stop signs. I'll illustrate...
