How do you measure a man? Kronosposeidon (Books Talk Post)
I think, and I am sure KP will agree, the measure of a man is his penis.

And KP you are one big dude, so the ladies tell me.

Notify User Before *discuss If Bronze or Higher (Sift Talk Post)
I agree. Except it seems to be calling someone out on something.

That's why it is called discuss.

I would agree to unspoken etiquette.

You couldn't email me to let me know you noticed this first. I would have sent it to discuss myself. What's the hell dude? Be courteous. I find that really aggravating.

In reply to this comment by mas8705:
Time out!

I just watch both this one and fedquip's spider pigs and they are the exact same! When does a different aspect ratio count as being different?

I would discard, but seeing how there was an eariler discussion on this already, I'm going to submit this for a 2nd *discuss

Spider-Pig... Spider-Pig
This one was different originally. It started out... "In a world where..." It had the guy who does all the previews and has that distinct voice. And like the comments said, it had several parts the other version did not and it was generally a better video. The embed was fixed with an entirely different video from what I can tell. There is no way to know this from the thumbnail though, so I can see how this could have happened.

Not to call you out here. But I think we should write down in the accepted protocol that people should notify the user, or at least try to, before sending something to *discuss. Especially, if that user is not a noob. I can understand the no mandatory waiting period on pulling the 'trigger' so to speak on new users, but common courtesy would suggest we should have a different policy for consistent contributors.

Evolution of the Eye Made Easy
affirmative ghost rider...

"He [the reader] who will go thus far, if he find on finishing this treatise that large bodies of facts, otherwise inexplicable, can be explained by the theory of descent, ought not to hesitate to go further, and to admit that a structure even as perfect as the eye of an eagle might be formed by natural selection, although in this case he does not know any of the transitional grades [as supported by the fossil record]."

Runon hellloooooo... Dave, you need a new editor. This is merely another example of one of a slew of poorly crafted and convoluted sentences that permeate your text. After writing several published papers and now a book chapter myself, I realise the trick is to keep it simple. A text isn't done when there is nothing left to add; it is finished when there is nothing left to take out. Sentences should be simple, and each should convey one or two points. More importantly in scientific papers, journals, and books, it is quintessential that you establish logos by referencing existing peer reviewed literature.

You might be upset, but hopefully you see my points. I am trying to explain to you that in science there are rules. If you want to set creationism up as an alternative theory, or understand science through a biblical lens, then you are absolutely doing a disservice to your cause by not using rhetorical appeals. It is also a disservice to write poorly, which you do. Really, how can you expect people to learn your thoughts with such magnificently horrible writing?

Evolution of the Eye Made Easy
Ladies and Gentlemen. I presume we have the real C. David Parsons in our midst. He is the author of 'The Quest for Right', a book which step by step rewrites every field of science, apparently.

Evolution of the Eye Made Easy
Alright Dave, I will bite.

Before I read your comment I will give you some basic advise: keep it short. Make your points clear and outline them simply.

1. Delineate your thoughts and your points with 'returns'.
2. If you cite a source, leave a link.
3. Don't copy and paste without quotes.

This is an internet forum, and people like me have short attention spans. Make it easy for people to engage your comments and raise counter points. I am downvoting your comment for these reasons.

Evolution of the Eye Made Easy
Ahhh... sigh...

The point of science is it tries to grapple with new evidence and understand how to make sense of it in terms of existing theories. Then, if you can't make sense of it you come up with a new theory, which still agrees with all the old evidence and the new piece, just discovered.

Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant - Wrestlemania III 1987
*promote... IT IS ANDRE THE FUCKING GIANT PEOPLE. Fezzik, Hello!

Holy Dag on a stick! You have got to be kidding me. How can you not vote for this? Is this a joke? Are you trying to mess with my reality by conspiring to not vote for possibly one of the single greatest scenes in television history. Cause it is working and I would like you to stop.

The man weighed over 400lbs and Hulk Hogan lifted him up in the air and body slammed him.
