"Paradox-free time travel? Now I know you're crazy, SPIRIT."
This has been bugging me lately, so I felt I needed to get it off my mind. So listen well, sirs and madams, while I explain the mechanics and feasibility of time travel that doesn't have to interfere with physics or logic as does much of the time travel we see in popular media.
Parallel Universes
First thing's first. For paradox-free time travel to be possible, we need to assume that there are parallel universes or timeline
Wikipedia was unhelpful in this regard, so I bring my question to you. As a child, when you played tag, there would have been a "safe zone" that while touched prevented you from becoming It. I would like to know what term you used to name this safe zone.
Personally, everyone I knew called it T (short for time-out). Wikipedia calls this "gool" or "base". What names do you know of?
Calling all operatives of the Collective Alliance for the North American Domination Aspiration (C.A.N.A.D.A).
Everything continues to go according to our designs and those living in the United States suspect nothing. The operatives placed within BZPower (particularly our operative who has been promoted to administrator) are continuing their functions as usual and we are working to embed ourselves deeper into the website. Now proceeding to initiate plan Sigma Tiger-Shrimp 24.

I hope that got your attention.
I saw the movie about a month ago and I have a fairly neutral opinion of it. Sure there was a lot of impressive CGI and stuff, but for some reason I'm not seeing how it became the number one selling movie of all time or why I keep hearing about people desperately wishing to go to Pandora.
I can pretty much trace this back to the sense of nausea the 3D effects of the movie induced in me, so as impartially as you can, I'd appreciate hearing what exactly it is
Yeah, they were up for a few minutes today, but "the Man" wanted them taken down. Luckily, SPIRIT snagged them before they vanished. The first word is their English name and the second word is their Pokedex species in Italian... for reasons I won't go into. Enjoy.

Dear J.R.R. Tolkien,
Stop giving your characters so many names. It's confusing, annoying, pointless, and it makes me not want to read your books. If his name is Aragorn, just call him Aragorn; none of this Son of Arathorn, Dúnadan, Longshanks, Strider, Wingfoot, Elessar Telcontar, Envinyatar, Estel, or Throngil nonsense. You pick a name and you stick with it. He maybe gets one or two other names, but this is ridiculous.
And another thing. What's with giving the two main villains essen
Six years prior, early on a Sunday morning, the young boy that would soon be known as SPIRIT logged onto his computer. He had visited the BIONICLE fansite known as BZPower a few times to look for BIONICLE-related news and he decided that it was high time that he joined himself. With that, he clicked the button marked "Become a Member" and tried registering for an account name that he thought he would like to have: SPIRIT. Having not seen any other SPIRITs on the forums, it came as little surp

The United States and other countries constantly ridicule Canada for not having as large a military as them. However, we have reasons for this.
Canada has a military base in the most northern settlement in the world: Alert, Nunavut. Why? We've seen enough Christmas specials to know that Christmas is ALWAYS in danger of being cancelled. Let's see the Grinch get past the full force of the Secret Canadian Special Forces, though.
You can thank us when you wake up on Christmas morning and f
Greetings, blog readers.
I would like to make this entry today as a call to arms against the RPG forum. For too long it has been ruled by dull, rule-bound games with massive walls of text. No one wants to read an entire novel if they want to play a roleplay game! Recently, I entered the RPG contest with a very short entry and there was outrage. And why should there be? I didn't break any of the rules and for once you didn't need three hours just to read the darn thing.
So if you hate
Just wanted to do a mini survey to figure out if raising one eyebrow is really as difficult as people say it is. Can you do it? Can you move both your eyebrows independently of one another? I've been able to for as long as I can remember and it absolutely amazes some people (granted, there are some people out there who don't know how to wink and I just feel sorry for them).
So yeah, in a similar vein, what other "party tricks" can you do? Vulcan salute? Ear wiggling? Nostril flaring? A
THE ENTRY PERIOD IS OVER
Since April 14th, 2006, those of you with microphones have been waiting for this moment. You have been hoping, nay, praying for a day when you too could star in another Flash PSA. Previously, I have only recruited people whose voices I had heard before, but no longer. The script has been written and now is finally the time when I hold open auditions for parts in PSA #5!!!
Reader:
Yes, I know. So without further ado, I present you with the long and compl
Okay, so checked the results and it looks like everything's staying the way it is.
Onto the next round of questions!
1) What are members?
(Go wild on this one, but here's an idea to get you started; let me know whether or not you like it.)
Hapori Tohu – Great Spirit
Admins – Makuta (Good Makuta that haven't banished their light and don't plan to take over the world)
Global Moderators – Adaptive Armour Toa Nuva
Forum Leaders – Toa Nuva
Forum Assistants – Regular Toa

Why do shooting games always need to be so graphic? Why can't they make a shooting game where your enemies don't explode into a massive sea of blood, body parts flying haphazardly as they cry in sheer anguish for death's sweet embrace?
I like killing imaginary video game characters as much as the next guy, but why do games have to try to inflict war veteran post-traumatic stress disorder upon me? I'm into things being realistic and all, but what happened to playing games for fun?
Look up "masculinism" on Wikipedia (it contains certain adult themes, so I won't link it here).
Come on, majority-male fansite, let's spread the word! Women can open their own doors!
In the words of Hagrid, "A CAR CRASH!? A car crash kill Lily an' James Potter?! It's an outrage! It's a scandal!"
As is such, I had a car crash and did not die. But I broke all three bones in my right leg. I tell you this now from my laptop on the hospital Wifi. Don't expect a lot of activity from me in the near future.
I've already had surgery and they've taken my off the morphine. I'm doing well, considering.
UPDATE ON July 15th: they've taken out all my staples and I'm home now.
I refuse to make a group or fanpage on one of those social networking sites, so I'm going to make a blog entry about this.
Do you ever find yourself sitting in class, bored, and you decide to take apart your pen and put it back together... several times?
Let me know if you do so I don't feel weird about compulsively doing it, myself.
SPIRIT: Excuse me, sir. How much did you pay for that fedora? Person: Why, I paid twenty dollars for it. Why do you ask? SPIRIT: *takes fedora and throws it in the nearest waste receptacle* Here's twenty bucks. Buy yourself LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE. I think for the most part we've managed to quell the fedora outbreak, but there are still a few stragglers out there who need to be dealt with before we're safe altogether. While I'm raising funds for this project, I'm also taking ideas
What should I ask for for my birthday this year? I'm thinking maybe something like video games (preferably nothing with insane amounts of gore), but I'm open to suggestions.
So here's something I've wondered for the past decade. Do people pick the same sort of games in a Pokémon version pair? E.g. Does everyone who picks Red Version always pick Gold Version? I'm not asking if you have the games, I just want to know which you'd pick given the choice between them.
Red or Blue?
Gold or Silver?
Ruby or Sapphire?
Diamond or Pearl?
Black or White?
Oddly enough, I always pick the first one in the pair (Red, Gold, Ruby, Diamond, Black) for no discernible reason
So in case you haven't seen it yet and for posterity's sake, here it is:
I wish Greg would bump off Norik so I could say,
"Alas, poor Norik! I knew him well..."
Well, that's just too good a pun to waste, so I'm considering sending the following message to Greg to see what he can do about it.
Dear Greg,
It would really mean a lot to me if you were to have Norik killed in the storyline. Sure he's a popular character, but I think that my clever pun is far more important than his imagi

What does it mean?
Why, that is the pattern of the scars on my right leg (going from top to bottom) left behind by the stitches from my operation back in July, written in ancient Mayan numerals. Or could it have some deeper significance? (If you can think of one, let me know).
And speaking of my leg, I'm probably at 90-95% right now. I can do all the basics, it's just things like maintaining my foot's arch and full range of motion in my knee that are holdi
Third day on the job and after suffering several hardships at the hands of the other staff (like the loss of my Flash banner ), I finally have forums to call my own: Storyline & Theories and Short Stories. I didn't really mind too much about the SS position- I mean it's nice and all, but I'm ecstatic about S&T. Ever since I joined the site I had dreamed about one day working there. Finally getting a job there, although angering just about everyone who works on BS01, is probably the be
