WHY IS THIS MAN SUCH A BOSS!?

[Tryoutz747]

it is 28,411 not 40,000. he was off 12,000.

[meloveoasis]

@Tryoutz747 That sound more like the radius or in some measurement other then Km. It's circumference is 40,075. 16 Km.

[Tryoutz747]

@meloveoasis Awww. I thought miles. I was using miles. I uesed to tell my gf I wish I was 28,411 miles form here whenever we were snuggling. See? I would be right where I was when I said that.

Close your eyes and Carl Sagan sounds like Agent Smith from the Matrix.

[beyondthesystem]

@islamisnuts Correction, Agent Smith sounds like Carl Sagan--i believe Hugo Weaving did base it on him

[celticlofts]

Some 3,000 years before Eratosthenes was born, people inhabiting a small western Island built what is known today as Newgrange. It's the oldest still standing man made structure on this planet ... Just imagine that 5,000 years ago people had measure of understanding of what we now refer to as our Universe. It seems that the more access we have to information and knowledge..the less we seem to use it.

@april90210 but there is a difference between religion and faith my friend. just putting that out there. we couldnt have just "been" here. something must have created us. and the something who created us must undoubtedly must have created it self. but how?.so its a roundabout arugement. so therefore, leaving the arugement of religion and faith is unanswerable.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

"something must have created us."

The word created is a loaded word... certain types of gas, and high enough pressures, can "create" a crystal, however the word create has a design connotation, so more accurately, you could say that the high pressure, and correct environment, allowed the formation of those crystals.

So the question is between creation, and formation.

[debaser71]

a curious account

[ThePlaneTruth]

True religion is pure science,

total government is anti-science.

[deanjdk]

true religion is based on faith and so is anti science by definition..its not up for debate.

[Vildasnaga]

A pity they burned down the library and humanity had to wait hundreds of years to "rediscover" the size and spherical shape of Earth

[richiebabe24]

Unforgivable tragedy would be more accurate.

[halopwner179]
