valisubik I don't think you need any mind enhancers to enjoy Pink Floyd's music, regardless of which phase of their music you're listening to.

Do we have a soul?

barbarella @barbarella (354) 18 Jan 07

Is everything that we refer to as 'I' contained within our body and brain or is there some essence which transcends this?

soul

valisubik I guess this is a very old and unresolved philosophical question. I quite liked the way Philip Jose Farmer handled this question in his "Riverworld" series. The concept he proposed was like an atheist's dream of course, but still sophisticated enough to...

valisubik I actually do not like to eat snacks at the theatre. When I was a kid we could not bring stuff to the viewing room. Drinks are OK, I guess. What I hate is a lot of kids loudly eating popcorn or worse, chips.

valisubik I have been to Paris about 5 times now. It is actually a very great city, but lately I have noticed that the streets are really dirty, and inhabitants are not so gentle any more.

Table Tennis or Tennis?

valisubik I play both, but prefer table tennis. Strangely enough, playing a serious game for about an hour gives me as much workout as tennis.

What grip do you use?

anthonychu @anthonychu (42) 27 Dec 06

If you play table tennis, what grip do you use to actually play? Shakehand or Penhold (or possibly the V or U ones). I personally play penhold, and know a couple of people who play with the V one which is similar to penhold...

table tennis

valisubik I use the penhold, which was very popular with Chinese players, and is still is, I guess. I learned that grip when I was 13, stopped playing for about 30 years, then started again and I had not forgotten it at all! A bit like riding a bicycle. I play for a...
