Yup, you're high :)

Oh they figured out the earth wasn't flat loooooong before Newton was even born. Observations were noted that ships coming over the horizon appeared sails first, and then the ship. If the Earth was flat, the approaching ships would have started out as whole in appearance and simply gotten...

A great quote: Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful - Seneca the Younger The standard challenge religion has to science is "the god of the gaps". Every time knew knowledge becomes available to us through science, religion steps up...

While we're on the topic of stoner kitties, has anyone tried throwing a catnip plant under their grow lights? I stuck a common house plant under them, and it perked up a little but nothing compared to the little girl. (at least I hope it's a girl :) )

The 10% of the brain myth is long disspelled: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=people-only-use-10-percent-of-brain I found 32 research papers on the basketball free throw, but none involving the visualization process being more effective. I'd be interested in reading it. I've...

Wow, the claim made earlier that not accepting evolution is equal to not believing in "God" is ludicrous. There is evidence for evolution in such staggering amounts, over 200,000 scientific research papers on it alone, backed by all branches of science that anyone who follows a rational...

Sounds like a good SyFy "Feature of the Week" : The Intergalactic Roomba of Death

To explain Christianity you need to take a step back in time, and consider the roles of the first superstitions and mythologies. Early man didn't know much, and the thing about living in a world you don't understand is that for many beings it is scary. You can see this not only in humans, but in...

Gravity is a force inherent in all objects with mass. A black hole is simply (simply is in understatement :P ) an object with enough mass that most light does not escape. Some types of radiation do escape, and while not visible to the human eye, they can be considered light at the extreme end of...

Shylas, They'll probably work in the same way that 8 CFLs will work. Because that's all it is. 8 CFLs with a color filter in front of them. But it doesn't justify the cost or claims he's making about their performance :) Since I don't know the specific benefits (if any) of eliminating a range...

Not only that, he's violating the laws of physics! When light passes through a medium some of its energy is lost. But somehow his regular CFLs manage to to output more energy, despite the fact that a filter works by removing some of the spectrum (and thus some of the energy). In the real...

It may be obvious to someone else what it is, but I have a question... Do you have a cat? I noticed the semi-circular appearance of the holes in the one pic. I had a couple of seedlings a friend gave me years ago, and when I was transplanting I turned around to get the new flower pots, and...

A deistic approach, one where someone considers the existence of a force or being capable of creation is reasonable. But the Christian god is certainly a fabrication, no more valid than Osiris, Thor, Gaia, Ganesh, etc. etc. What a small, petty god they chose to explain the universe. To deal...

Beautiful pics! I laughed. I cried. It was better than 'Cats'! :twisted:

What about using a small styrofoam plate with a hole cut in it just big enough for the seedling to protrude through. That might hold some humidity in the soil a bit longer :)

Looks a bit better now with Schultz 10-15-10 and a CFL. One plant, successfully rescued from an abuser! :)

Honestly, I have trouble distinguishing between some of the pics on the "what's wrong with my plant guide, so I'm relying on the patience and expertise of the users :) I was just given a plant in a tiny pot, and it's quite undersized. I replanted it into a larger pot with a mix of compost...
