    Suppose someone was faking up a new holy book .....?

    Suppose some con-merchant was trying to create a new religious cult, for the purpose of duping people out of large sums of money -- but you didn't know that he was actually a con-merchant. He claims to have met an angel who shew him where to find a weirdy computer disc, a bit like a CD but not...

    Christians & Atheists, why isn't there bird-flavored cat food, since there's fish &...

    Chickens are birds. So are ducks and turkeys, and I've fed my cat all those flavours. I have often wondered why, seeing as how all cats *think* they're lions and tigers, cat food doesn't come in flavours such as antelope or zebra .....

    Is Creationism a joke that I'm just not getting?

    Or do some people actually take it seriously?

    Atheists would you kick me to the curb if we met and I said I was pinning my

    No, but I would give you a free lesson on homophones: "curb" = put a stop to "kerb" = boundary between pavement and road I might even take you for a pint of Business As Usual, so you could find out what real beer tastes like.

    We can debate if or not a God exists untill the sheep come home?

    Sometimes, debating gets you nowhere -- you need some actual evidence. Aristotle and others spent many years debating how many teeth were in a woman's mouth, before anybody had the idea actually to go and count them.

    Digital Enable / Disable Circuit, Gates, Electronics?

    An inverter only has one input. An EOR gate can't be forced to a known state from one input. (An AND gate can be forced to output a 0, by making one of the inputs 0, and an OR gate can be forced to output a 1 by making one of the inputs a 1.)

    Yahoo! groups API / perl module?

    I want to write a console application in Perl, that will log into one of my Yahoo! groups and parse the latest messages for me. (Eventually I'd like to run it as a cron job .....) Is there a Perl module that I can use to make this a bit easier? Some Source Code examples? Anything?!

    Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a condition

    Toasters are just evil -- they make electric-tasting toast. Gas toast just tastes far nicer, especially when served with real butter as opposed to some artificial "butter-like" substitute made from axle grease and buttermilk (which is the stuff you throw away when making butter). Of course...

    Why do people say "Robin Reliant" but not "Escort Ford" ?

    In English, the adjective usually goes before the noun; so with cars, it goes make, model. Like "Renault Mégane" or "Vauxhall Corsa". So why "Robin Reliant" ?

    Will it be ok if I am gay but I refuse to have a gay lifestyle & relationship?

    No -- you will suffer from extreme sexual frustration, and there is even a serious chance that you could end up raping somebody. You need professional help. Even if this offends you, you must understand that your strong conservative views *are* the problem.

    The easiest way is to include it the output of the counter program within an iFrame in your page: <iframe width="100" height="40" id="counter" src="/cgi-bin/counter"></iframe> (Change height and width to suit. Anything between the tags will be displayed in really ancient browsers that don't...

    Perl question: cross-platform programming help?

    I'm writing an app in Perl that I'd like to open-source. I am including an optional feature which will only work on KDE. This obviously requires a Unix-like system such as Solaris or Linux. Is there an easy way to tell from within a Perl script whether we are running on Windows?
