For some reason, lately, I've been reading many books that are way over my head, in terms of intelligence level. I'm happy to say that I'm one of the smarter people I know, but these still just take me out sometimes. My current...

imagenius128 Yeah, I've read some of those types of novels as well. I know that I was stumped a few times in Angels and Demons with the science, but it wasn't all that bad. The movie really downplayed the science, though, which made me sad.

imagenius128 I have to say the best point he made in the book was the fact that technology has been increasing exponentially over the past millenia or two, and that we are about to run simply run out of intellectual space for any more, or it will begin happening at a rate...

Okay so I have this neighbor who is always spouting off about something even though he seldom knows what he is talking about. Quite often this neighbor brags about how intelligent he thinks he is about certain subjects. One...

imagenius128 I am actually kind of the same way. Most of the time I am quiet, but when I do speak I try to make it actually mean something, so therefore people think I am one of the smartest kids in my class, when really I'm only in the top 5-10% (out of 700, mind you). I...

Earlier today, I read a story about a 12 year old girl who was arrested for sprawling a smiley face and writing "I love so and so (two of her friends I cant remember their names)" on her desk at school. She was subsequently...

imagenius128 Well technically, yes, but I don't think she drew it in the desk for everyone to see that she did it. She did it out of sheer boredom. I was referring to graffiti as in painting walls with spray paint as to make them obvious that the structure had been defaced...

I have had trouble trying to write. I start a story or subject and start writing and put out like three or four pages but when I go back reading it the whole thing sounds stupid and not right. Have you ever done that? Or am I just...

imagenius128 I agree completely. I'm in the process of trying to write a screenplay, and whenever I go back to read what I have so far, I get cool new ideas and try to edit it, and that screws of the next part and it becomes a never-ending cycle of re-writing that is...

I am a part-time artist, and am trying to sell some work on eBay. So far I have not been very successful. My work is generally up to standard, but I can't compete with sellers who are offering thousands of copies of the same...

A friend and I were having an interesting discussion about the feasibility of some of the time travel methods proposed in movies. So I began to think of all the time travel movies I have seen (which is more than I'd originally...

imagenius128 Yeah, Back to the Future will also always be one of my favorites, mostly because I love Doc. My marching band watched the entire trilogy on a trip to Michigan last year... it was amazing!

Hello there! I think it's hard to find a person who had never hiccuped. Sometimes hiccuping may get quite annoying, especially in public places. There are many means to stop it around there. One that I've heard is drinking water...

Past or in the future? If someone you could give you this option, you choose the future or past, of course you can not change, no future, nor in the past, only to travel, and be in the position old, or to see your future?, I...

imagenius128 Honestly, no I'm not. I've lived through my history and if anything traumatic happened, then I would probably remember it just fine. It's more interesting to me to go back and meet the man who invented a helicopter before electricity was understood. The whole...

Is that because people are all working under big pressure, or else,eg,they have completely controled well on their work and in order to live better life,they have to work out why they're not happy sometimes,for example,in love,in...

imagenius128 Yeah, that makes sense. On a human's never ending quest for knowledge they often discover things that they would've been better off not knowing. It's almost a paradox, really.

imagenius128 Sorry, I forgot a really good one!!! There's a new jazz group called Sylvan Street that has a really odd but really cool collection of styles. Check out some of their videos on youtube.

Personally, I like the war movies that have something very special about them and aren't like all the other war movies. My favorite one of all time is Dr. Strangelove. I know it sounds weird, but I love the way it's put together...

imagenius128 We watched Glory in one of my history classes a couple years ago. That was a really good movie, especially because of all of the historical significance behind the story. Kind of like Windtalkers.

imagenius128 Hmmm, yeah, Troy could be a war movie, and maybe Narnia Part 2, but that's stretching it a little bit. That's almost like saying the Lord of the Rings movies were war movies.

imagenius128 I think that's a different situation, though, because it was in protest of something and a large number of students got suspended. I wish my school was more like that... we're boring...

I mean, with the advent of video games and all these types of things, will just sitting down with your family and playing Monopoly or Scrabble be popular again?

4 responses

imagenius128 That is true. The speed at which the video game world is progressing is almost a curse upon itself, due to the fact that in order to get new versions of games, you are forced to shell out another $500 for a new system.

imagenius128 I think I follow. I know practically nothing about photography, but I get what you are saying. I think I will just have to take one normal light and one red light and then blend them together with the computer.

imagenius128 It's basically just a website with fun little random things to do or read. It doesn't really have some huge dynamic purpose, just a place to go when you're bored.
