While some believe the good book is 100% accurate and contains no flaws from copying, translating and retelling the stories for countless years and generations, I believe that some error is in there.

If you simply move the creation of birds to after calling for the animals to land, you've pretty much got the evolutionary chain:
1. Sealife
2. Makes its way to land
3. Takes flight
4. Mankind appears

So we mess up the order and all of a sudden fundies can't accept evolution. Right that wrong and it's really not that hard to imagine that evolution is a divine and guided process. Of course, it's not that hard to imagine it isn't :)

I was going to post this exact issue. The best of the best will have kids watching their instruction on youtube and the average teacher will be turned into a homework monkey. A really hope my kid (1 year old now) gets a chance to learn in a flipped classroom.

Since the government guarantees the loans, the bankers will get the money regardless. Of course it's also good for the government since this debt can never be discharged it will be paid back even if that means taking social security checks when the borrower is retired.

Most major northern airports have snow melters that do exactly that, melt snow. They work pretty well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNERNVAlAMo

Of course, we can't have our railways held hostage by snow either, in that case, they just strap a jet engine onto a rail care and melt snow that way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5OrCCGV6hg&feature=related

Where there is a problem, we'll find a solution!

No infant at THAT hospital has survived at that age. Plenty of kids at other hospitals have survived I believe the record for youngest is 21 weeks 6 day and the record for the smallest is 244 grams. So this girl doesn't really come close to those records. In the article the hospital says they are only equipped for deliveries of preemies 28+ weeks and usually refer to a hospital with more specialized equipment for the cases more premature than that. Reality TV star, Josie Duggar, was born at 24 weeks and is doing great (newest member of the Duggar family from "19 kids and counting" on TLC)

This is nothing. Back in the day I lived in a state that allowed fireworks. Typically around New Years my friends and I would get some empty wrapping paper rolls, some bottle rockets and pretend like we had bazookas. Light a bottle rocket it, stick it in one end, watch it come out the other and go wherever you pointed it. I'm sure that was breaking some kind of law, but it sure was fun. Of course we were smart enough to go out into the woods where no annoying parents or busy bodies were around to see.

My predictions: 1. TV Replacement - Built in HDTV antenna , will work with Apple TV or another wireless TV spec to stream TV directly to the tablet. Sure, we know about internet TV and hulu, but I'm talking over the air TV and live TV. Killer feature for something this size. 2. Kindle Competitor - My bet is a new display type that has a very low power ambient light setting that allows the screen to be as easy on the eyes as a Kindle or other eInk reader. So, while this will be a laptop/phone hybrid, it's really going to go after the TV/Paper publishing angle for it to have mass appeal. While it can surf the web and do general laptoppy/phone things...I see it as really something that's looking to create a new market and kill netbooks and eReaders all in one swoop.
