    Because I'm bored, I miss school, and I couldn't be assed to find the most recent thread like this. Here's mine, which I'm pretty happy with: Or, if you prefer a more visual schedule: I'm also planning to do research with one of the biology professors for credit. And as a fun fact, my...

    Choosing a major

    Hello, internet folks. I'll be entering college this Fall, and I have yet to declare a major. I still have some time for this I know, but I thought it might be nice to hear from people who've been through college why they chose the major they did and how that's worked out for them. This post may...

    Does Friends suck?

    The internet seems to disagree on this one quite a bit, so I thought I'd put it to the test here.

    Post-Apocalypse hypothetical

    If the contents of your computer, phone, or tablet were all that remained of human culture, how would society develop from there? Using my phone, here are some different thoughts in different areas: Religion: I have the King James Bible, CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, and some odd theology...

    Least favorite Christian pop punk band?

    "Pop punk," you say, rolling your eyes snobbily, "is not considered to be Punk music. Punk died, but lives on in music that claims only to be rock ‘n’ roll plain and simple and straight from the garage. Punk exists now only in spirit and is not something you can purchase at Hot...

    Sneakers with a suit: Is it ever okay?

    So I was looking for a good suit for Easter yesterday, and I saw something peculiar: Among the displays of various dress shoe styles was a Converse All-Stars sneaker. At first I thought it might be a mistake, but then I thought of David Tennant on Doctor Who, and he seemed pretty classy with...

    How do you like your bacon?

    I like it chewy because crispy bacon is nasty, which is something bacon should never be.

    What hand do you wear your watch on?

    I'm right-handed and wear mine on my right hand, but I was recently informed that this is abnormal, even though it seems to be the most intuitive way to do it.

    Which of these do you consider science fiction?

    The terminology seems pretty contentious at times, so I thought I'd give us an opportunity to hash it all out. Pole coming.

    Consumer Ethics

    So recently, my sister put in an order of K-Cups for our Keurig machine. I got a box for myself, liking it stronger than she does, and found the selection of coffees that were both fair-trade and extra bold rather lacking. I wound up getting a strong blend of beans that were likely picked under...

    Sun Myung Moon dies, age 92

    http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-pacific/2012/09/20129221042237980.html Not gonna lie, I haven't read much about Unificationism in a good while. Anyone more educated on it know how this could impact the church? What will Moon's long-term legacy be?

    Favorite Star Trek Doctor

    People often compare the captains, but I thought this is a topic with plenty of potential as well. I'd have to choose Phlox myself. A lot of people rank Enterprise poorly in comparison with other series, but it definitely got his character right. He's pretty ridiculously likable.

    Rank the New Series Doctors

    Since Doctor Who relaunched in 2005, three actors have taken on the mantle of the Time Lord. Which one was the best? Which was the worst? And which was in-between? Welshy has a highlights reel of each if you need refreshing.

    Referring to sports teams in first person

    When is it acceptable to refer to a sports team in the first person (e.g. "We're gonna have a great season." "We totally kicked the Cleveland Browns' asses.")? As a moderately big fan of the Cincinnati Bengals, I tend to do this a lot during football season, and my non-sports-watching friends...
