Absolutely untrue. I, myself, can reach thousands of conclusions per hour with zero background information.

I thought you were a man of science -- we call those kiloconclusions per hour in civilized circles.

No no no. That implies the conclusion without backing information is a metric unit of measurement. This is actually an american unit of measurement. Just as you don't have kilofeet, you don't have kiloconclusions without backing information.

There are 1363 conclusions without backing information in a Church.

Tesla was an American engineer, but you can have milliTeslas and microTeslas.

You could draw an entire church from those facts without more information.

I am not sure how the megachurch fits into this, though.

The existence of a megachurch proves that it's a metric measurement, not an imperial one.

Churches aren't conclusions without backing facts. The're beliefs held without examination. It's a measure of faith. Conclusions require making an argument, even if it's a nonsensical one. Faith denies there's an argument to be had.

Is that the median dosage required to provoke your allergic reactions?

Actually, no. That's more in the 5-10 microJesus range. I have a very low tolerance for religious stupidity.

0.001 Mohammeds (1 milliMoe) is enough to give some people really lose their heads.

I think we may need to calculate the LD50.

Perhaps you should stop engaging in it.

Genearlly speaking it's the guy in the black balaclava with the knife, or the bearded Saudi guy with the scimitar that's the cause of head loss.

That's a binary function with beheadings.

The media's gushing over the "gay moment" was more annoying than the stuff in the movie. In fact, I thougt it was kinda of funny. I never saw the original, so I have no opinions in realtion to the quality of the remake. The dead-mother subplot was totally unnecesary though. Also, I forgot the old Disney cartoon movies had so much singing... I remember why I didn't like them as much as the Don Bluth movies as a kiddo.

Trivia:

Don Bluth worked on Disney's Sleeping Beauty, Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Poo, The Rescuers, and The Fox and the Hound as an animated, and was the animation director of the 1977 Disney movie "Pete's Dragon," before leaving Disney to found his own company.
