I just heard [in the last week] that tattoo inks, which are classed as industrial chemicals, contain cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nano particles which are known carcinogens.

Did nobody hear about it or is it not a concern?

Used to be I had 'Top contributor [Tattoos]' next to my avatar. It has mysteriously disappeared, no reason given.

I'd like to know why this demotion. What'd I do rong?

Now that the Pope has accepted evolution as the means by which we became human, that means the Catholic Church as a whole accepts it, right? So therefore all 1 billion Catholics accept evolution over Genesis. Is that right?

[I know it was two popes ago, but I understand he was infallible].

'Quad' means 'four' but 'bike' is short for "bicycle' which means 'two wheeled cycle', 'Bi' meaning 'two'.

So how is a four wheeled ATV in any way representative of a bike?

Seems the most practical drive for a heavy cruiser. They are bulletproof when designed properly. Clean, quiet, maintenance free, unlike chains or belts which are inclined to let you down in the most inconvenient situations.

You never see a driveshaft let go in a car, and BMW and some Japanese makes have used them very successfully.

Maybe not Sportsters, but big twins....why wouldn't you?

Can anyone give me a definitive answer re the percentage of power lost by using a driveshaft over a chain, assuming both systems in top order?

the biggest load of infantile tosh ever presented to the reading public?

Or did I overlook a 'deeper layer' of meaning?

Can someone give me an idea of the percentage of power loss by using a shaft drive on a motorcycle rather than a chain final drive?

whereas a non-interventionist god can never be disproved?

When that's where I'm not.

To my mind, the biggest question hanging over the life of Jesus is that great big gap, [between the ages of 12 and 28 wasn't it?] when he is completely off the record. What was he up to? Sowing his wild oats? That's a big blank space in anyone's life, let alone someone with such a heavy brief. Surely, if he was spotted at birth, someone would have been keeping tabs on him?

I mean...that Noah's Ark thing. C'mon..... really?

I mean, you know how much they use that expression 'omigod'. I'm no expert but I thought the Bible was quite specific on that one.

I don't like to be harsh but, well, isn't it so?
