    And by nerd stuff I mean anything from gaming to movies to cartoons to anime to anything geek. Im looking for stuff like t-shirts, computer gear (keyboard, mouse, flash drives etc), accessories and whatever in between. Does South Africa have any stores, online or not, that sells "geek gear"?

  • how many recorded attempts did it take to build an airplane?

    Are there records that show how many various attempts from various people did it take to get to Wilbur and Orville? The failures and semi-success stories. Anything and everything is useful, and you can also refer me to another site aside from the obvious ones like wiki, which I have tried.

  • Philosophical Help on the nature of Evidence and Inference?

    Evidence being that which directly points to the truth value of an instance, and Inference being a logical deduction of truth from Evidence.

    To illustrate

    Footprints in the sand are not evidence of a person standing there at one point, the person is inferred. The footprints are, in the purest sense, only evidence that at some point there was a force exerted on the sand; a force great enough to cause a depression; and one that had the dimensions which would cause a depression of a shape resembling a human foot.

    Does this make any sense?

    Is there truth to it?

    Does it need to be refined, expanded or changed in any way?

  • is michelle obama an exemplary woman in her own right?

    I suppose her position is kinda tricky, being the president's wife and all. That comes with certain pressures and im not even sure how well she adapts to those. What I AM interested in is if she is doing enough to become exemplary in her own right. Is she doing enough to escape the shadow of her status? Is she supposed to? or is her role model title simply "wife to the big guy", and if so - is this a good thing to aspire to?

  • Are there any ex-mormon atheists on here?

    I have been having a discussion with a dude on facebook about how to obtain faith in god. he told me that you can get spiritual evidence from god if you did the following

    1] read the BOM cover to cover

    1.a] Ponder it in your heart

    2] ask god with a sincere heart

    2.a] ask God with real intent

    3] believe (total trust and faith) in the resurrected Jesus Christ

    4] Allow the Holy Spirit to manifest the truth of it unto you.

    are there any people on here who have done all these things and are now atheists? if there are it would be [at least] a kink in his method. if not then i will concede his point until i can test it for myself

  • Is there a name for this "mindstate"?

    Im not even sure if you can call it a mindstate or not but its basically what "The Secret" operated on. Basically - If you eat enough chicken you will eventually grow wings. If you find yourself not growing wings you are clearly not eating enough chicken.

    this kind of stupidity is pervasive in most religions and in particular the "Prosperity Gospel", and i just wanted to know if this con has a name or not.
