Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit

............. and while we were all queuing up for wit God blessed you with sarcasm.

Have you read Bleeding Heart Square by Andrew Taylor? It's a Dickensian mystery thriller and it even has a gloomy lodging house and an old lady, according to the synopsis. I bought it a couple of months ago but have yet to read it.

It seems that you are confusing hysteresis with one or more of your prejudices.

I read about half way through and skip read the rest because I knew who done it. The social aspect to it was good, but I suppose I bought it as a sort of Victorian who done it, rather than an I know who did it. It was badly advertised and maybe a bit misleading from the readers point of...

It was a fix.

I was disappointed.

With high unemployment people fear for their jobs and so don't ask for pay rises, the government love this, no strikes and very low pay rises, if any. The downside for the Government is that they have to pay more out in benefits and don't collect as much in taxes. That’s normally how a...

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, Waiting to take me away. I climbed in the back with my head in the clouds, And I'm gone.

Can any one recommend a 'self publish' UK company similar to LuLu? Publishing - Lulu.com

Finished it last week and I have reserved a copy of his new book out in July. Through his characters he does more to promote the existence of a God than that other work of fiction by Dawkins does to disprove the existence of a God. 1-0 to Dan Brown. :)

We originated on Mars.

...come from an individual of a single species. Otherwise there would be more than one Lucy and the bones per individual would be even less than 40%. To me that was a lucky coincidence. :rolleyes:

She is 3.18 million years old and made up of several hundred fragments of bone and these fragments all come from an individual of a single species. They have to otherwise claims that Lucy is who they say she is would be unfounded. It makes one think.

Wrong. 40% is 40% is 2/5th is 40%.

Apology accepted. This thread is about Ida and a little bit of foot bone, once and for all proving beyond all doubt that my great great etc. grandfather was a monkey. It does not follow that because I don't agree with this theory I have a better one or that I have to have one at all.

You don't think this is important. A private collector has had this in his collection for 25 years and the world did not know about it. The same world that was been waiting 150 years, since Darwin first published his theory, for this sort of evidence. Your right of course, because human did...

How did Maybe that is for another thread turn into that other thread you said you'd start . I guess the same way that science sees things; if it want's to find something it will. :) The evidence isn't very convincing at all; for two years they could find no link, until a small bone in the...

Did you see Sir David Attenborough's programme about Ida? All the evidence they had about Ida was there and it was not very convincing. If you have not seen the programme what are you basing your information on?

Correct.............. there is room for doubt. I said that I believe, I did not say it was correct. Maybe that is for another thread, this one is about Ida.
