Dinner hand-holding prayer at someone else's house (or at a restaurant)
by Elsewhere in.
as an atheist, i do not pray, however sometimes i will go to someone's house or to a restaurant for dinner and the others at the table will hold hands and pray.. when this happens, i politely decline and abstain while they do their thing.. .
is it rude for an atheist to politely decline to participate in a hand-holding group prayer, or is the act of hand-holding prayer a form of religious coercion and itself rude?.

The Good Book: A Humanist Bible
by Elsewhere inan interesting new book was just released.
i received my copy in the mail yesterday.
it is based on many non-religious sources of inspiration around the world to produce a "bible" that is 100% secular.. while reading it i did find that it has a "feel" very similar to the bible in that it is written in chapter and verse with lots of metaphors and storytelling.. i haven't read it much yet due to not having time, but i did read a few pages and thumbed through it a bit.

$6 gas by summer?
by NeckBeard in$6 gas?
could happen if dollar keeps getting weakera dollar plumbing three-year lows is hitting americans squarely in the gas tank, and one economist thinks it could drive prices as high as $6 a gallon or more by summertime under the right conditions.. .
with the greenback coming under increased pressure from federal reserve policies and investor appetite for more risk, there seems little direction but up for commodity prices, in particular energy and metals.. weakness in the us currency feeds upward pressure on commodities, which are priced in dollars and thus come at a discount on the foreign markets.. one result has been a surge higher in gasoline prices to nearly $4 a gallon before the summer driving season even starts, a trend that economists say will be aggravated as demand increases and the summer storm season threatens to disrupt oil supplies.. "all we have to have is a couple badly placed hurricanes which could constrain some of the refinery output capacity in some key locations," says richard hastings, strategist at global hunter securities in charlotte, n.c. "if you get weakness in the dollar concurrent with the strong driving season concurrent with the impact of one or two hurricanes in the wrong place, prices could go up in a quasi-exponential manner.".

OK guys, we're off the hook!!!
by JeffT inhttp://www.themedguru.com/20091206/newsfeature/stare-boobs-longer-life-study-86131320.html.
frankfurt, germany, december 6 -- a rather bizarre study carried out by german researchers suggests that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy.. .
according to dr. karen weatherby, a gerontologist and author of the study, gawking at womens breasts is a healthy practice, almost at par with an intense exercise regime, that prolongs the lifespan of a man by five years.. .
