Recently I heard someone describe how they loved a movie so much that they watched it twice the same day. I cannot recall ever watching a movie 2x in 1 day. Even an episode of a TV show. Have you ever done that?

Think of any proverbial sayings or powerful expressions you heard in life that have inspired your attitude. Now think of the person who said those. When we publish those remarks in public or even just think about them privately, should it matter who the actual person was that said them? Does...

Despite having irrational religious beliefs, you may still admire them for their intelligence, morality, courage, etc. I admire MLK, Jr. and would like to read more on him someday. He seemed a great leader and very moral.

We bought a new TV recently and want to protect it with strong surge protection. We have the option of buying one brand new. Let's say that we want it to be able to handle 900 joules. Instead of getting a single surge protector that handles that amount, would it work just as well to use several...

A little history: Currently I am in my young 40s. In my mid 20s I unfortunately developed epilepsy (chronic seizures). One common side effect of seizures is that they can erase large chunks of your long-term memory. That is the case with me. I remember very little of my childhood and almost...

This came up in a recent discussion. Anyone know the answers? In horseback racing, do the horses themselves actually know and/or care that they are racing each other? Or are they just doing whatever their rider tells them to do? Do they know whether they won or lost? Do they know the rules of...

My recent favorite has become Irene Cara's beautiful "What a Feeling" from the movie Flashdance (which I recently saw for the first time and enjoyed). It puts me in a really fun mood every time I see/hear it. A couple great live performances of it: Video 1 Video 2 My next favorite is "Hungry...

Suppose you are an evangelical Christian--- You believe the doctrine of original sin. Adam and Eve disobeyed God and somehow as a result every single descendant of theirs inherited their guilt and blame at the moment they are conceived in the mother's womb. Every single child is born guilty...

Currently I am in the midst of rewatching a favorite TV series, Smallville. It is about Clark Kent growing up, prior to becoming Superman. In one of the episodes I just watched, it was surprising to hear the name “Trump” mentioned a few times. It has me wondering what other places in...

For my new job I am trying to create an Excel macro. Macros are something I am new to, but this should be a very simple one. I want to apply it to the “Personal Macro Workbook” so it functions every time I open up any Excel file. The macro steps would involve simply selecting several columns on...

Feel free to apply this to books, TV, movies, anything. Recently I saw Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise. Cameron Crowe directed, who also had directed Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, Titanic, and Avatar. Some of those I had seen and were great, others I had not seen but were very popular. But I went...

Recently I had been discussing with someone the hypothetical of Donald Trump being a defendant in a courtroom and forced to testify under oath. Prosecutors would in part ask him direct yes/no questions. Given Trump's personality and history, however, he seems unable or unwilling to remain that...

Recently I came across this funny thread on Twitter: Tell me you are a Christian apologist without telling me you are a Christian apologist. Various responses as some examples: "I once met this rabid atheist professor on a plane, and I asked him the most pathetic, faulty apologetical gotcha...
