The many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XIX

a knih=Traitorfish;11712106]I know they're completely harmless, but they're basically everything I object to about spiders- the legs, the scuttling, the blind purpose- boiled down to its most basic principles. I'd admire the uncompromising modernism of the design if the sight of them didn't set me squealing like a little girl. (I'm not even bothered by regular spiders, harvestmen just seem to bring out some latent arachnophobia...)[/QUOTE]

I'm the complete opposite to this. I detestspiders with a fiery passion, though daddy-long-legs don't bother me one little bit. I quite like picking up the huge ones and rescuing them.

I'm looking for music of the likes of the Gladiator Soundtrack, Hans Zimmer in general, and things like Two Steps From Hell.

Any ideas? My sleep playlist of LotR and 120 Mozart Symphonies are starting to get a little tiresome, and some spice is appreciated.

You'll definitely enjoy some Immediate Music.

E Nomine's Mitternacht may also be enjoyable.

Perfe - Oh hey you added more to your post.

E Nomine kind of sounds like Rammstein except without the trashy instrument clatter. I like it! Definitely on my list now.

Thanks!

Ah, I love that kind of music. Hans Zimmer is great! You should check out some Globus or E.S. Posthumus. Here's a link to a good song to get you started, its from Future World Music.

Thanks for those. Just listened to Aqua Vitae. Sounds great!

Can the Dalai Lama be a woman?

Can the Dalai Lama be a woman?

I don't think so. Apparently I'm a dummy.

 

[Civciv5]

I searched on the Internet and a woman CAN be the Dalai Lama!
No Buddhist document prohibits women from being the Dalai Lama.
Also the 14th Dalai Lama said that the next Dalai Lama may be a woman.

What is the most unique language in the world? One that has little to no relation to any others, its own unique rules and lexicon? The only one I can think of is the Basque language, but there must be others.

Right now, the US is suffering from an extreme drought. Is it possible we may see a return to dustbowl weather for a while?

It's possible. This is the second major drought year in a row. But I don't know that it can be predicted that it will happen at this time.

We've had four months of rain in the UK. Who says weather systems aren't connected?

 

[Dachs]

I dunno, Virginia ain't under drought conditions.

As long as there's rum, we're all good.

If we get this year's weather next year without heavy snowfall this winter, we could start getting there, sure. The crops are terribad in lots of places.

About 55 percent of the contiguous U.S. fell in the moderate to extreme drought

Is it legal to carry closed containers of alcohol on public transport in London?

I think Virginia is the only state that is completely normal.

I think Virginia is the only state that is completely normal.

I think there should be a prison sentence assigned to anyone who calls Virgina 'normal'....
