Will E.T. Look Like Us? Hell, no. Life probably carbon-based. End of the similarity, IMO. - http://www.scientificamerican.com/article...
Carbon-based, as opposed to silicon base. But some DNA/RNA-like replicating machinery kicks in, anything is possible. And intelligence? Completely superfluous and un-necessary, and so I think it is rare. - Howard Abrams from Bookmarklet
has often wondered the language-culture-emotional-makeup connection along with Olivia Judson: - http://judson.blogs.nytimes.com/2009...

Catch the theory that mass extinctions may be caused by algae? - http://www.sciencedaily.com/release...

A year before my kid's first pediatrician died, he mentioned that the reason why parent's are concerned about vaccines may be due to not witnessing the horrible deaths the vaccines have almost wiped out. - Howard Abrams from Bookmarklet
Are these Reason ads promoting a "religion" or a "philosophy" ... or is this just a public service announcement? - http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009...
Why this matters is we need to know where statements like this can be placed given our separation of church and state. For on one hand, atheism is the opposite of religion, and therefore, there may not be a need to segregate it in the same way. Although I would tend to think that most Americans would place "atheism" as a religion, whereas most adherents wouldn't. - Howard Abrams from Bookmarklet
