For geat pop music but no coolness factor whatsoever, you can't go past the Electric Light Orchestra and the Wombles. Come to think of it, I never saw them together; could they possibly be (gulp) one and the same?

' Terri Nunn, lead singer of Berlin, meets with an ex-boyfriend in the lamentable "Metro."' Do you really mean 'lamentable' (synonyms: deplorable, pitiable etc.) here? I suspect you mean just that it is a lament. Two very different things!

'Kurt Vonnegut has decided that ... the Terrorists must be good people!' ... 'Vonnegut goes on to proclaim them heros: "I regard them as very brave people, yes."'

'Sex Pistols? Weren't they the ones who everyone thought sucked ... until Sid Viscious died and made them international punk stars?' Everyone in the US perhaps, but not so in the UK.

Roger Dean? Rush? The Moody Blues? What a bunch of old hippies! The cover of 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols' - now THAT is art! (And I'm not posting a thumbnail here; if you honestly don't know what it looks like, I suggest you go and buy it immediately!)

'But, hey, it's there atm and i'll take the half hour break given to me.' Met a lot like you in my time. Whinge about paying union fees, but never refuse a union-negotiated improvement in pay or conditions.

'I went to a union meeting at work the other day, largely as it was paid and I wanted a break from work.' Go ahead and celebrate John Howard undermining the rights of workers if you must.

'I define intelligence as it being, what the student knows.' That, to me is obviously knowledge (know-ledge), NOT intelligence. I like the biologists' definition of intelligence; the ability of an organism to adapt to its environment. I think that covers all bases without getting into the more contentious ar

Furry, you are to be commended for your patience. Or are you perhaps just stroking your own ego in order to amaze yourself with your superior intelligence? Thanks LW. I sincerely hope it's the former rather than the latter, although I wouldn't feel comfortable claiming there was no ego involved. However, I

'Perhaps the better word is tradition... ' 'Not all faith *has* to be based with out proof...., i disagree with the definition...' So which word do you mean to use, what do you understand it to mean, and how does your definition differ from that found in the dictionary? I do hope this discussion isn't going to descend into a meaningless Clintonesque "It depends what your definition of the word 'is' is" debate! <img src="../images/smiles

'Any science includes faith, faith in that its process will continue as it is...' I imagine you must mean one of two things by this: 1) 'Faith' that scientific findings will be unchanged. Not so. Science allows for disproof and change. 2) 'Faith' in scientific method. M

'Not necessarily...' Yes, necessarily. The faith (I am loathe to say gullibility) of those who pay for these 'services' is the only thing between the practitioners and poverty. Whatever there may be in what they do, there is no science in it. This is my whole point, Lucas!
