To stop without a chat room near
Should I in this dispute partake?
Could I lend any insight here?

The unprepared get quite a shake
being shown all their mistakes
the odds against freewill are steep
Is thought just a compelling fake?

The posts for both sides are quite deep
But I have promises to keep,
And fifty more posts before I sleep
And fifty more posts before I sleep





You inspired me freethinker

Re: Poetry, adapted

Where do you find the time? I think it's already hard to keep up with all the answers to the posts where I posted to.
Anyway very nice, mostly the end

I'm on hypography for hours at a time, I've lost sleep over it, I think I'm addicted, but I can't stop now, it's too enjoyable.

Tell me about it...I sat up until 3:30am and couldn't sleep afterwards...so now I've had to let my wife handle the kids this morning and take them to the kindergarten while I slouch back to bed...it's the second day in a row, but yesterday I *had* to get up. This morning I can take it a bit easier...so now I'm crashing at 730am.

It's complete and utter madness.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
