The brilliant (and highly idiosyncratic, to say the least) physicist, bongo-player, safe-breaker (etc.) Richard Feynman. It's a bit cliched for young physics kids to idolise Feynman, but the guy was a genuine genius and is certainly considered by many people (well judging by a quick trawl of google)... |

Well, I don't know enough to contribute to the rdos / pandd conversation, but I'm fascinated by this thread. I love sneaking around, trying to move quietly, trying to creep up on birds and squirrels without them noticing. Hehe, it's difficult to say that without sounding sinister, I'm a nice guy (an... |

I live in a town called Peterlee. There's no mystery to the name, it was named after a man called Peter Lee... I guess you could imaginatively call it "Rock Meadow", which sums up the "architecture" quite well. |

I'm in a similar situation in some respects; I have a reasonably safe job and an understanding boss, and don't need a diagnosis for anything other than peace of mind. I tick most of the AS boxes, and it's the first thing that actually covers everything (a lot more than the various iterations of depr... |

Being nice to fellow creatures - that's a good thing, lots of rewards, apparently. Associating any other as a partner to God, worshiping stone, worshiping sexual organs, worshiping trees, worshiping elements, worshiping stars, etc, now that's a tad bit ret*d IMO. Why should worshipping a rock (or w... |

Post what you get under the units the original study was done in! That goes for all of you... And post how far back you sit/stand.
