The only reason to watch this video to it's conclusion is the same reason people watch Nascar.


@Tyrsis Because our lives are meaningless?

It's more like Dove: You cant eat me when they are here. Yout cant eat me when they are here. neener neener

"SOHO watched as a fairly bright comet dove towards the Sun in a white streak and was not seen again after its close encounter (May 10-11, 2011). The comet, probably part of the Kreutz family of comets, was discovered by amateur astronomer Sergey Shurpakov. In this coronagraph the Sun (represented by a white circle) is blocked by the red occulting disk so that the faint structures in the Sun's corona can be discerned. Interestingly, a coronal mass ejection blasted out to the right just as the comet is approaching the Sun.

Scientists, however, have yet to find a convincing physical connection between sun-grazing comets and coronal mass ejections. In fact, analysis of this CME using images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows that the CME erupted before the comet came close enough to the solar surface to interact with strong magnetic fields."

I can do a far better morning dove by cupping my hands and often draw doves toward me doing so. But she does some other animals pretty spot on.

So that's a MORNING DOVE! I always wanted to know what that sound was...


She did an awesome job overall. But that was probably the least accurate. Mourning doves do this incredibly deep sigh, followed by three soft coos. It really does sound mournful.

Sarah Palin's speech was far better than Obama's ummm, uhhhs... Corpsemen duhhh president. It's a memorial and not a pep rally. If he was a true leader he would of told those attending that but he is not a leader. sooo....


When people use the colloquial contraction of "would have," it reads "would've." Due to the nature of the "ve (vuh)" sound at the end immediately preceded by a "d" sound, in this case similar to "duh" for the case of "would," the result is a "duh-ve" or "dove" sound in "would've." Despite the sound of the pronunciation, however, when breaking down the contraction, it should read "would have" which are the sum of the parts, not "would of" which is merely the phonetic version.

The most obvious question in my mind is what happens when you put an arm under it? I imagine it won't light up in flames, but it would probably induce a pretty serious burn, no?


I have a much smaller lens around here somewhere, about 6" diameter, that will also ignite anything you put under it pretty much instantly. It's a focusing lens from a spot-light that was salvaged out of an old theater.

My neighbor in high school, who was probably about as stupid as these kids are, told me he wanted me to focus it on his shoulder. He was certainly old enough to know what was going to happen, so I had no qualms in obliging him. The moment I brought it into focus, his shirt caught fire and he dropped to the ground screaming. There were no marks on his skin, just some redness.

Once he had recovered (and extinguished his shirt), he told me to do it again and said he wouldn't move this time. I was focusing on bare skin this time, so there was no shirt ignition. His skin did blacken within a few seconds, though, and a thin stream of smoke began to pour off of him, just as it does when you burn wood. He lasted maybe 4-5 seconds at most before he dove to the ground in agony again.

Did I mention he was pretty stupid?

And after that, he stayed in bed for the remainder of his days. He is remembered by his wife Claire, two daughters, and ranch hand July.

BOoom. That's a Lonesome Dove reference.

Ron Paul doesn't believe in evolution. That's not logical. Therefor I can't support him.

Paul is usually reasonable, but the "evolution is a theory" is a game killer.


What game are you playing? Would you rather one that believes in it and never ending war? Also, anyone in medicine believes in evolution, he just doesn't believe it is the complete explanation for life on this planet. (to which many different people hold in fact. Some think that the particles for life come from outer space, or even that those particles were already organic and life didn't originate here...there are many non-evolutionary based ideas here. The debate to the origins of the first life on this planet are not as simple as invoking "evolution". It is still a hot area of debate, and one I take particular interest in.)


"(as if something that is a proven scientific FACT needs belief)"

Firstly, philosophically, belief means any cognitive content held as true. Everything you "think" is, philosophically, what you believe. Belief is your personal, subjective position.

Knowledge is defined as right and true belief. To make the claim something is knowledge, you have to be able to show it is true. Science isn't a method of showing things to be true, but things to be false (you start with a statement "all doves are white", this statement is emperically true until you find you first black dove; the practice of empiricism works on negative evidence). Philosophically speaking, the only path to knowledge is rationalism, not empiricism (as pointed out by Kant's noumena and phenomena). There is no scientific/empirical claim that is irrefutable (meaning certain: without any doubt: can be shown that it can't, and never will, be otherwise (positive evidence)). Certain, without any doubt, is what is meant by the word truth. Knowledge being true (or certain) belief means one can say, logically, that any information gathered empirically isn't knowledge. Is there any scientific fact that hasn't be usurped by later scientific facts? Not even motion has even been certain, which is far less complex than evolution, and we see motion everyday.

(I largely believe in most of evolution btw)

I really like a couple of Prince's songs, When the Doves cry certainly being the best one for me... but the man is a complete ass.
