Title: Fantastic Forum!
Post by: rickard on 26/12/2008 11:14:53: I found this forum by coincidence last week, after watching a documentary about Ronald Mallett's time machine. I had no idea forum's such as this existed, and have spent hours upon hours this week, reading up on various topics (Astronomy and Cosmology being favourites).
I doubt i'll have much to add to the discussions, but maybe i'll ask a question or two.

Keep it up!

Best regards,
Rickard

One of those things being that beavers are a superior lifeform [^]

Post by: Chemistry4me on 28/12/2008 01:40:00: In what way? Do you build one of them beaver dams? Many people are convinced that beavers are unusually intelligent, mostly because their dams are such fine examples of engineering works. The structure of the beaver brain, however, gives no indication of any greater mental capacity than is found in other rodents.

I'm on Warfarin for pulmonary embolli. Its level in my blood has to be carefully monitored weekly and the dosage altered accordingly. Too little and the clots can do naughty things, too much and I could bleed profusely. Alcohol makes the level go haywire.
