"Who" created the universe?

Crosswords says...

I wonder if they screen the calls looking for people who can't form a cogent sentence. In the last one the smug factor wasn't nearly as high as this. Even if the person on the other end of the phone isn't the most intelligent, or doesn't know how to frame an argument they should at least act professionally and try to explain things in a manner that isn't derogatory.

Do these guys ever take calls from people who have well prepared answers and/or some amount of debating skills (Not that I've seen them give people much of a chance to debate)?

On part of the caller's actual question, I my self do enjoy sitting out in the woods alone partaking in the loveliness of nature. I'll close my eyes and listen to the wind blow through the pines, small birds chirping and critters scurrying through the underbrush, the smell of the air and feel of the wind. I feel myself lost in the vastness, humbled, invigorated, and even a little frightened at times. I don't however attribute what I feel to a god, its my own senses and mind that interpret what I feel. I feel trying to realize all the occurrences that had to happen for everything to be just as it was at the moment I am there as mind blowing and awesome an experience as one might thinking a god created it all. I think such experiences are sensory and your interpretations comes filtered through your own mental lens. A similar experience occurs if I stare up at the stars on a dark clear night; a wholly subjective thing but awesome nonetheless.

[EDIT] Upvote cause I think its a good discussion point, even if the guys in the video seemed to pass by that.

Unbreakable Umbrella - Seriously awesome

A white-haired guy in a black suit smashing watermelons with an umbrella and a dead serious expression on his face with birds chirping happily in the background makes for the most awesome video I've seen all day.

cat holding bunnies

Chaucer says...

cats can tell what's family and what isnt. We had several cats growing up that would play with or just tolerate the birds we kept around. We had one cat called puddles that loved to sit on them because they chirped when he did that. Was kind of wierd.

"So then we decided to tickle the rats ..."

maudlin says...

The entire NY Times article is here.

From Panksepp's 2005 article in Science:

Although no one has investigated the possibility of rat humor, if it exists, it is likely to be heavily laced with slapstick. Even if adult rodents have no well-developed cognitive sense of humor, young rats have a marvelous sense of fun. We have already bred rats that exhibit playful chirping, and thereby hope to track down some of the genes for joy. Perhaps we will even stumble on new molecules to alleviate depression as well as some excessive-exuberance disorders.

That bolded sentence just kills me. (In a good way.)

Reservoir Dogs - The Ear Scene

Farhad2000 says...

Strange that Theo47 would say that. Considering you don't see anything happen here. Whilst in Saw and Hostel they plaster it all over the camera.

A wonderful scene empowered even more when Madsen steps out to the car. And knocks the audience out of that place into something totally serene with birds chirping...
