""The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."" - Alejandro S.

Andrew Sullivan’s column in the Times of London is on how the Clintons have tried to use racial divisions to their advantage in the nomination battle. - Alejandro S.
"IQ levels rocketed in the last century, but argument still rages about how our brain power should be tested, and the roles played by genetics, social conditions, culture and even race. Keen to find out whether he might pass for a genius, our reporter puts himself to the test at Mensa, and asks the question: why are some people smarter than others?" - Alejandro S.
"“HITLER is alive in Burma” reads the words scrawled on a cardboard sign, held aloft by a sweet-faced Ellen Page, the “Juno” star, in a 90-second human-rights public awareness message that began showing on video-sharing Web sites last week." - Alejandro S.
"McCain starts to address an audience and...ooops...which side is up?" - Alejandro S.
I'm certainly no McCain fan, but I wouldn't dwell on such a gaff. It's the media reporting THIS kind of thing as "news" that makes this process so silly. We'd be a lot better off if we all just focused on issues and realize that these people are human. I'm not saying you did bad to post this, Alejandro - just a general statement by me about the whole process. - Vince DeGeorge
Obviously the intention was to make him look bad. I agree that reporters should be talking about the issues instead of thing like this. Me? I just thought it was funny. :) - Alejandro S.
"The film is about the 2001 dot com bubble burst. Remember all those websites that made it big then blew up and disappeared when all of that glory fell apart in late 2001? This movie is about one of them, Tom, played by Josh Hartnett, and his website called Landshark." - Alejandro S.
""My friends, the Iraqis have divided themselves into these two groups for one reason and one reason only," McCain told an audience in a retirement village in Scottsdale, Ariz. "They are trying to confuse me."
McCain said that while the two groups of Iraqis are "well-nigh impossible" to tell apart, he vowed to commit American troops to Iraq "for as long as it takes for me to figure out just what the difference between Sunnis and Shiites is."
"If it takes 100 years, 1,000 years, or a billion zillion years, we will stay there until I can tell Sunnis and Shiites apart," the Arizona senator said." - Alejandro S.

"Universal Timetable. Fascinated by his initial calculation, Cooper worked out a formula for the time required for an object to fall through a straight-line tunnel bored between any two points on the surface of the earth. Surprisingly, no matter how close or far apart the two points were, the time turned out to be constant: 42.2 minutes." - Alejandro S.
"Obama gathered momentum in his battle with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination with endorsements from seven more senior party figures and a labor union, as well as strong praise from former Democratic rival John Edwards.
"Let's assume Barack is the nominee, because it's certainly headed in that direction," Edwards told NBC's "Today" show. He said Obama could unify the party and had a better chance than Clinton of winning November's election against McCain." - Alejandro S.
