The Hive

ahgong @ahgong (10064) • Singapore 18 Nov 07

I was channel surfing on the boring sunday evening when I chance upon this movie. The Hive is a movie that features a swarm of flesh eating ants that made its way through the jungles devouring everything in its path. Fearing...

beamer23 Nope. I have yet to see this movie. Sounds pretty bizzare. It amazes me sometimes what Crazy Ideas get though up and then turned into Movies. Just think of all the people that went into the creation of this movie and thought it was going to turn out all right....

WATARIKENJI @WATARIKENJI (1534) • Philippines 14 Jun 08

News and real evidence of Environmental destruction are alarming. Inspite of these gigantic threat on mother earth, people who has the means and resources of making positive are the ones who cause more problems

beamer23 Mother Earth is going to make it just fine. The earth is an amazing place that has kept one form or another of life going for a very long time. I have a feeling Mankind will be history long before Planet earth disappears. Beamer23

cripfemme @cripfemme (7698) • United States 9 Jun 08

Does everyone else know about this great free, music resource. My house mate introduced me to it today. I love it; it's better than writing to the TV (even Planet Green, which is my other new writing tool). You can find any kind...

beamer23 Ok, I'll give it a try, but right now it is looking a bit like a memory hog. If you live in the US, try Pandora. It doesn't seem to be nearly the Memory hog this shout cast is. Thanks for the heads up. Beamer23

beamer23 Ok, I'm not sure you want my opinion because I think it looks red and sore and hurts a lot. I'm not a real big fan of tats to begin. with I guess, being old school. I'm thinking you have many days of healing ahead of you followed by more healing. Good luck...

moose8 @moose8 (483) • Canada 7 Jun 08

Hi, Rising acidity in the ocean caused by seas absorbing greenhouse carbon dioxide could make low-lying island nations like Kiribati and Maldives more vulnerable to storms as their coral reefs struggle to survive. Carbon...

beamer23 Where in the heck did you get this info from? Do You have any idea how much water is contained in the oceans and how much acid it would take to bother any of that water at all? Your information just doesn't make any sense. Beamer23

I've never heard of "dry drowning" but saw an article on it just now

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 7 Jun 08

Apparently a person can "drown" up to 24 hours after getting water in their lungs! Here is the article: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/110157.php How sad, and how could that mother possibly know that her child was...

What's Your Opinion On the Climate-Change Bill?

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 6 Jun 08

Senate Republicans managed to "kill" the climate-change bill, at least for now, which I personally think is a shame. I'm sure this bill is no different from any other in that the "devil is in the details" but from what you know...

Morbid question...

wooitsmolly @wooitsmolly (3613) • United States 27 May 08

This is sort of a morbid question, but how do you NOT want to die? I mean, if you could choose the way you died, what would you definitely not choose? For example, I would not want to pass out and drown in my own vomit.

beamer23 Well, I really wish I hadn't been eating when I read your question. I wouldn't want to be burned alive. Drowning would probably be next. Beamer23
