She is with Affleck, so, uh...yea.

Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo.

Sex with the same person will always get boring eventually... No matter how much you try to spice it up with sex toys and stuff.

Lack of imagination.

Churraquerias (Brazilian-style steakhouses), are red meat gluttony at it's finest.

Sometimes I get so depressed I stop doing everything and nothing brings me joy, I sink so low that I forget what I was depressed about and than I am instantly happy again.

The unqiueness of sex is not a compelling factor in the value of human relationships.

This sub was not as good as it should have been.

I wouldn't be upset if walnuts suddenly ceased to be. Cashews are a whole different ball of wax.

I wasn't aware that there existed a subset of people who could be classified as nut-bigots. I can't say I am happy to see certain segments of the nut population ostracized by people in this very thread.

And I think those people know who they are.

As long as peanuts won't go the way of the dodo, I'll be happy

Friday afternoon conference calls are boring

This would be far more interesting to read, spread across multiple posts in the interest of hitting a particular post count

You know I really like your voice. When you're down, remember that

I just finished my first game ever - Fable 2. I was inordinately pleased with myself.

Also - is it wrong to want to live in Fairmont hotels all over the world rather than owning a home? Because I always thought living in fancy hotels would be sort of glamorous.

Yes, it is wrong. You would probably feel homeless.

I love 5 day cricket games, but I have to feel sorry for Bangladesh, and be concerned whether it's good preparation for the tour to Australia.

The best meal I've ever eaten was a breakfast in one of Ian Flemming's Bond books.

Go Tech!

Eh...wrong thread.

CoD4 + friends + alcohol + 4 system-linked 360s = a really funny saturday evening

That sounds like you mean something. Whatever could you possibly mean by that?

I really like these pants, I just hate that they make it look like I'm walking around with a huge erection all day. Oh wait, am I?

I need a real job.

String theory is a still-developing approach to theoretical physics, whose original building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects called strings. String theory attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity in order to describe a quantum theory of gravity.

Since its birth as the dual resonance model which described the strongly interacting hadrons as strings, the term string theory has changed to include any of a group of related superstring theories which unite them. One shared property of all these theories is the holographic principle. String theory itself consists of many theories with different mathematical formulas. The logical coherence of the approach, however, and the fact that string theory can include all older theories of physics, have led many physicists to believe that such a connection is possible. In particular, string theory is the first candidate for the theory of everything, a way to describe all the known natural forces (gravitational, electromagnetic, weak and strong) and matter (quarks and leptons) in a mathematically complete system. On the other hand, many detractors criticise string theory because it has not yet provided experimentally testable predictions.

Like any other quantum theory of gravity, it is widely believed that testing the theory experimentally would be prohibitively expensive, requiring feats of engineering on a solar-system scale. Although some critics concede that string theory is falsifiable in principle, they maintain that it is unfalsifiable for the foreseeable future, and so should not be called science.

String theory is of interest to many physicists because of the mathematics involved, and because of the large number of forms that the theories can take. String theory strongly suggests that spacetime has eleven dimensions,[1] as opposed to the usual three space and one time, but the theory can easily describe universes with four observable spacetime dimensions as well.[2]

String theories include objects more general than strings, called branes. The word brane, derived from "membrane", refers to a variety of interrelated objects, such as D-branes, black p-branes and Neveu-Schwarz 5-branes. These are typically extended objects that source differential form generalizations of the vector potential electromagnetic field. All such objects are known to be related to one-another by a variety of dualities. For example, the black hole-like black p-branes are identified with D-branes, upon which strings end, through Gauge-gravity duality. Research on this equivalence has led to new insights on quantum chromodynamics, the fundamental theory of the strong nuclear force.[3][4][5][6]

P.S. It's not, but "black p-branes" sounds sort of racist when you say it out loud.
