Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure
Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure For the child who knows the difference between a diplodocus and an apatosaurus (or for the adult who remembers a youthful obsession with dinosaurs), National Geographic's Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure will be a delight. This 40-minute special explores the less-familiar world of the prehistoric oceans, filled with predatory Platecarpi, gentle Protostegas, and cold-eyed Xiphactini. The story follows a newborn Dolichorhynchops (a short-necked plesiosaur that looks a little like a dolphin crossed with the Loch Ness Monster) as she matures into adolescence and adulthood, surviving encounters with sharks and the fearsome Tylosaurus, who's sort of the T-Rex of the deep. Juxtaposed with these vivid CGI recreations are staged depictions of paleontological digs throughout the 20th century that unveiled the bones of these ancient deep-sea beasties. It's irrefutable: Dinosaurs are compulsively fun to learn about, and the prehistoric creatures of the ocean are no exception. --Bret Fetzer

Allosaurus - A Walking with Dinosaurs Special
Allosaurus - A Walking with Dinosaurs Special The phenomenal BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs spawned this 30-minute special. Using the same blend of computer animation, puppetry, and story-driven narration (by Kenneth Branagh), Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special centers on one particular dinosaur dubbed Big Al. Found in Wyoming in the 1980s, Big Al's fossil remains comprise the most complete allosaur skeleton ever found. Enough clues are found in the bones, 145 million years after his death, to tell the story of what might have happened from his birth to his death. The film's naturalistic approach (unlike that used in the Disney film Dinosaur, whose characters could talk) is quite spectacular, with chills (a bog turns out to be a big dinosaur threat), thrills (allosaurs chase a group of giant diplodocus), and humor (a baby allosaur seems to bump into the "camera"). A half-hour companion program, "Big Al Uncovered," illustrates how the "what-if" story of Big Al was constructed using facts uncovered by paleontologists (including the 17 injuries found in the skeleton) and filling in the gaps using the dinosaur's distant cousins (birds and crocodiles). The BBC production does not shy away from the violent world of dinosaurs, including mating and hunting techniques. However, any dinosaur fan age 7 and up should find all the Walking with Dinosaurs specials an exciting and fun education. --Doug Thomas

Open Question: Which watch would you like, guys? - First anniversary gift!?
My boyfriend and I have our first anniversary coming up, February 4th. I was thinking about getting him a nice watch for our anniversary - the only watch he owns is a very fancy-schmancy pocket watch he got as a groomsman's gift that he will more than likely never use, other than maybe on his own wedding day. So I think a watch is a good gift (especially since clocks are the "modern day" first-anniversary gift!)? I've looked at a bunch and I think I've narrowed it down to this one: http://www.fossil.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=12052&catalogId=10052&departmentCategoryId=30001&categoryId=211554&productId=22054371&Ne=16&N=4294959921&No=0&Ns=p_weight|0||p_order_history|1&rec=2&pn=c&imagePath=FS4405 or this one: http://www.timex.com/gp/product/B001AZN6M8/sr=1-49/qid=1231458776/ref=sr_1_49/181-7872485-8061213?ie=UTF8&m=A1S5XB33AHYRMX&n=238500011&timexBrand=core I'm leaning towards the second one. Both I think he'd like (he wears a gold chain, so the gold accents will make the watch match basically all of the time), but I know nothing about watch brands, etc. I know my dad's had the same Timex watch longer then he's had me (and I'm almost 20!) and loves it, the thing is practically indestructible. Opinions, please? Which one is nicer/a better buy/more practical? Is a watch a nice gift, do you think? (more...)

Resolved Question: Atheist you do know the the law of superposition. is not a law right ?
Before I get ridiculed for my age like I always do when I ask a question on here . You all are right I am not taking any biology or chemistry courses however that does not mean I don't read books and just because I am not formally educated about it that does not know I don't know about it. . http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmTxHGzTiKwuXNfqbWjJzpTsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090106160213AAA41Id Stoll down to you see a guy ( i am not allowed to metion his name) but, he talks about the "law" of superposition. 1st of all, they didn't just place the strata in an order based on "superposition", they also assigned specific dates to them before any type of dating method was discovered. how is this possible??? 2ndly, the "law" of superposition is not a law at all, and there's been examples of it being broken. Example 1: e go to the mountains to study the strata, for there we find them most clearly exposed. Yet in every mountainous region on every continent on the globe, there are numerous examples of supposedly "old" strata superimposed ON TOP OF "younger" strata! (An extensive listing of such areas is to be found in *Bulletin of Geological Society of America, February 1959, pp. 115-116.) HEART MOUNTAIN?Here is one of many examples of an overthrust: The Heart Mountain Thrust in Wyoming is a triangular area, 30 miles [48.2 km] wide by 60 miles [96.5 km] long. One apex presses against the northeast corner of Yellowstone Park. Within this gigantic overthrust are 50 separate blocks of Paleozoic strata (Ordovician, Devonian, and Mississippian). They are resting horizontally and as though they belonged there?but ON TOP OF Eocene beds which are supposed to be 250 million years younger! Photographs of the fault line, separating the Paleozoic strata from the Eocene, reveal it to be perfectly snug and normal. No evidence of massive crushing of rock beneath the fault line is to be seen (as would be seen if the upper "older" strata slid up and over the lower "younger" strata). Searching for the area from which this gigantic overthrust horizontally slid?the scientists could not locate it. They could not find any place where the top layer slid from! "The Heart Mountain thrust has long been structurally perplexing because there are no known structural roots or source from which it could have been derived. Furthermore, there is no known surface fault or fault zone within or adjoining from which the thrust sheet could have been derived."?*Op. cit, p. 592. e go to the mountains to study the strata, for there we find them most clearly exposed.

Lyell used this information in his important book, Principles of Geology, and divided the strata into three divisions. He dated one as youngest, another as older, and the third as ver I cited all of my sources Monster dont you have call me little in your life I am more of a man then you could ever dream of..

Resolved Question: If a Martian base was created for scientific research, what kinds of research would be done?
Geology to study the geological history of mars and exobiology to study possible fossils or actual life forms found there are the main two I can think of. Is there anything else?

Resolved Question: What do you guys think of this transitional fossil?
"A Fish with Fingers?" http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1180415,00.html?cnn=yes "The fossils of the approximately 9-ft. long creature, which are, described in two Nature articles released today, were dug out of rock formations on Ellesmere Island, in the Canadian Arctic, by paleontologists from the University of Chicago and several other institutions. Its nickame, for reasons that will become clear, is "fishapod"; it's more formally called Tiktaalik ("large fish in stream," in the local Inuit language). Fishapod dates from about 383 million years ago. It had the scales, teeth and gills of a fish, but also a big, curved rib cage that suggests the creature had lungs as well. The ribs interlock, moreover, unlike a fish's, implying they were able to bear fishapod's weight?an unnecessary trait in a fish. It had a neck?most unfishlike. And, most surprising of all, its pectoral fins included bones that look like nothing less than a primitive wrist and fingers. In short, fishapod adds one more brick, and an especially important one, to the edifice of Darwinian evolution?and at the same time puts the so-called theory of intelligent design into even greater question than it already faces. That would be true if only because any designer who deliberately made such a queer fish would have been more of a practical joker than anything else. But it also demonstrates that while evolution has plenty of missing bits of evidence, they keep showing up all the time to strengthen it. Evolution is, as ID supporters love to say, "just" a theory. It also happens to be one of the most successful scientific theories in history, whose predictions of what should be found in the fossil record have been proven out? for the zillionth time. " I'm waiting for some Christian to yell out that this is a lie of the liberal media... Here are images: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Tiktaalik&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2 (more...)

Resolved Question: Is "man made global warming" a new Religion?
Americans have been rope-a-doped into believing that global warming is going to destroy our planet. Scientists who have been skeptical about manmade global warming have been called traitors or handmaidens of big oil. The Washington Post asserted on May 28, 2006 that there were only "a handful of skeptics" of manmade climate fears. Bill Blakemore on Aug. 30, 2006 said, "After extensive searches, ABC News has found no such (scientific) debate on global warming." U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer said it was "criminally irresponsible" to ignore the urgency of global warming. U.N. special climate envoy Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland on May 10, 2007 declared the climate debate "over" and added "it's completely immoral, even, to question" the U.N.'s scientific "consensus." In July 23, 2007, CNN's Miles O'Brien said, "The scientific debate is over." Earlier he said that scientific skeptics of manmade catastrophic global warming "are bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry, usually." The global warming scare has provided a field day for politicians and others who wish to control our lives. After all, only the imagination limits the kind of laws and restrictions that can be written in the name of saving the planet. Recently, more and more scientists are summoning up the courage to speak out and present evidence against the global warming rope-a-dope. Atmospheric scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said, "It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don't buy into anthropogenic global warming." Dr. Goldenberg has the company of at least 650 noted scientists documented in the recently released U.S. Senate Minority Report: "More Than 650 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims: Scientists Continue to Debunk 'Consensus' in 2008." The scientists, not environmental activists, include Ivar Giaever, Nobel Laureate in physics, who said, "I am a skeptic ? Global warming has become a new religion." Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an environmental physical chemist, said warming fears are the "worst scientific scandal in the history ? When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists." "So far, real measurements give no ground for concern about a catastrophic future warming," said Dr. Jarl R. Ahlbeck, a chemical engineer at Abo Akademi University in Finland, author of 200 scientific publications and former Greenpeace member. Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh, said, "Many (scientists) are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined." The fact of the matter is an increasing amount of climate research suggests a possibility of global cooling. Geologist Dr. Don J. Easterbrook, Emeritus Professor at Western Washington University says, "Recent solar changes suggest that it could be fairly severe, perhaps more like the 1880 to 1915 cool cycle than the more moderate 1945-1977 cool cycle. A more drastic cooling, similar to that during the Dalton and Maunder minimums, could plunge the Earth into another Little Ice Age, but only time will tell if that is likely." Geologist Dr. David Gee, chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International Geological Congress, currently at Uppsala University in Sweden asks, "For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? For how many years must cooling go on?"
