I wish more people could remember this!

How the hell am I going to win flame wars if I do this?  No, what you have to do is act like you know, then when challenged produce a massive text wall, then 50 irrelevant links, then cat memes, and then claim you were really talking about whatever the other guy said, but he just didn't read you right.

I believe we have now as a collective amassed an arsenal of knowledge to be able to confidently tackle any technical, theological, philosophical question directed at us!

We now understand:

Dark energy, light energy - pops
Dark influences - MK
all facets of rock crushing
waffles
Diploma of Chakras - Serpent
GC - chopra specialist - gold medallist!

any other nuggets of knowledge?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

I've learnt that "free will" is a suitable defence for any question about God being an evil prick. Too many names to mention.

I agree. I don't butt in with views in, say, threads about theoretical or particle physics because I know next to nothing about it. I enjoy reading the threads on it though, even if it is all greek to me (sometimes literally of course).

I learnt that i have a 50-50 chance of being two superheros:

Either, a superhero that can teleport.
Or, a superhero that can move at almost the speed of infinity.

Both are nice.
