So I'm staying with my (older) brother and his wife for a few weeks. Since we rarely get to spend time (and since I have some...personal issues that they want to help me with), they decided to devote an hour or two every day or so to "family talk time", where we sit down and discuss whatever...

The length and width of these snakes almost match the size of Pavlov's penis.

Does anyone here know of some kind of software program that lets you impose 2d images onto a 3r object (like a sphere)? My friends are trying to covert a 2d image of a fictional atlas into a 3d globe. Freeware is preferred.

I'm doing a bit of homework for Astronomy class, and one of the questions has me utterly stumped. The question: Consider a planet with a mass of 10 MJupiter (10 x the mass of Jupiter) orbiting around a 3-MSun (3 x the mass of our Sun) star with a (orbital) period of 1.5 years. Calculate the...

I'm trying to do some research on how a medieval blacksmith might have lived ca. 1000-1100 AD, Western Europe (preferably around France). Does anyone know of any good books or sources I can take a look at?

Let's take a "mid-sized" village somewhere in rural England or (what is now) France, ca. 1100 AD. How many people would live in such a village, including men, women, and children but not any nobles in the vicinity? Of those people, what percentage of them would be expected to do mostly or...

2 skirmishes/battles of note: 1) Ambush of a small British infantry group, during the 7 Year's War/ French-Indian War (my memory's rusty: they're the same war, right?) 2) Another ambush of a sizable British infantry group, which had recently surrendered a fort to a French general (Marquis de...

I'm doing some quick research on 14th to 15th century Ming Dynasty armies for a fictional setting, but I have no idea where to start. I checked wikipedia, but it doesn't say much about army composition, typical equipment, tactics, etc. Not even google turns up much. Help?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrWpTqVtfrY Ye olde Rob Roy, in which Liam Neeson delivers Scottish Asskicking to Tim Roth. I'm just wondering about which swords the two combatants are using. The proper names, please, if possible. (And if anyone is knowledgeable of European fencing, I'd also...

A few days ago, I remember reading a New York Times article on how at least one of the former Guantanamo Bay prisoners ended up becoming an Al-Queda deputy in Afghanistan (or something like that). Lately, I've heard that Obama's trying to shut down Guantanamo Bay as soon as possible, but if the...

...you could do a lot worse than this comic.  :lol: Seriously, if you like (or at least tolerate) Japanese manga, you might want to give this a try. It's essentially a brief history of 20th-early 21th century Afghanistan, made for Japanese folks. Give it a go! Edit: Although the humor will...

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_185/5670-Mod-Blade That's right, The Escapist, which hosts the famous Zero Punctuation series, has featured M&B on their website! The review is glowing, though the focus seems to be on M&B's high quality mods and the system that allowed...

After reading through some posts here, I was wondering what the Taleworlds folks think on the matter. Fate, or Free Will? Which do you believe in?

So a bunch of anti-anti-piracy ads (not a typo there) on youtube are saying that filesharing/downloading films for free is not stealing. I have absolutely no idea how the film/game/music industry works, so I'd like to know: how is this not stealing? No, you're not sneaking into a movie store...
