They just taste like cakes. If you like cake it's cake.

If you have to investigate the effects of the ganja it's probably better to eat it rather than smoke it but in really small amounts.

Not 15.

Think stereotypical bad acid trip and you will be somewhere near the ballpark. And I don't like the way they hang their basketball hoop :-D

 For my wife's 30th we went to Amsterdam & we had our first experience with space cakes.....we had one each....nothing much happened

We went to The Fly pub?....I think

Then the space cakes kicked in

Haven't laughed that much ever and since,.....but it took a long time for it to wear off...very wierd experience

Glad we only had one

This specific alarm sound...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoX7vd30zq8

...spoils and takes me out of any movie or videogame it's in.

I worked really long nightshifts for a few years so I needed something loud and unpleasant on my iPhone to wake me up and make me go switch it off (Setting nice sounds only meant I'd sleep through them). The iPhone uses that exact sound ^, it was only later that I discovered that a few movies also used that sound and I'd developed a 'Pavlov's Dog' like response to it... of feeling almost physically sick at the dread of getting up and going to work exhausted.

 Ha,....that is unbelievable,...I'm exactly the same, I used that alarm for my wake-up,...now every time I hear it I get a jump

My phobias are Zombies.....can't watch any films or series like that...only ones I've seen are Shaun of the Dead, World War Z & Zombieland......thats enough

Creeps me out

It's kind of like saying a-"bigfootism" isn't a religion, but many "bigfootists" are religious, if you get what I mean (and even if you don't, it's still like saying that). I mean they might not call themselves religious, but they behave like they belong to a religion in the way that they are superstitious, are convinced of some conspiracy theories, which shape their worldview, or believe that all religious people need to be converted to atheism (and therefore "preach" atheism just as a Christian might preach their religion to others).

 I don't know of any atheist clubs or churches,.....wouldn't be interested in them anyway, I've got more important things to do than not worshiping

 'T'ain't what I mean. Religious people don't need churches to be religious. Nor do they need a leading body or a specific organization. I'm not talking about organized religion here, as you seem to think, but unorganized religion.

 A yes I understand....Humour leads to silliness, silliness leads to ridiculousness, ridiculousness leads to the Frink side!

I think a lot of atheists are religious and unfortunately for those who aren't, religious people (who belong to organized religions) lump all atheists together.

 Huh?.....my brain hurts, my brain hurts!

A large number of Buddhists are atheists, Some Quakers are too.

Buddhism has no godhead, any gods that may exist are tied to the same cycle of death, rebirth and suffering as anything else until they reach Nirvana (the state not the band) and are also illusional distractions.

 It so happens that some religions have no godhead

Atheism isn't a religion the same as off isn't a TV channel

My mother died whilst giving birth to me but was brought back by the hospital staff, she died again the next day but was brought back again.

As a child she told me again and again that she talked to Jesus on the second time she died and he told her that she had to return to her body to look after her new-born.

My mother and her side of the family were/are VERY religious

My mother did eventually die with complications connected to my birth 9 years later

As an adult I understand that with her strong belief in Christianity that that's what her mind wanted her to see, her consciousness

This does not effect my non-belief

If there was a Ziggy Stardust movie, or more realistically a Bowie biopic, I nominate David Brighton to play him.

 Dane DeHaan looks like young Bowie

"I Saw Her Standing There"- The Beatles

(1,2,3,4!)

Well, she was just 17
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (Ooh)
When I saw her standing there

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh)
When I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Yoda: How feel you?

Anakin: Cold, sir.

Yoda: Afraid are you?

Anakin: No, sir.

Yoda: See through you we can.

Mace Windu: Be mindful of your feelings.

Ki-Adi-Mundi: Your thoughts dwell on your mother.

Anakin: I miss her.

Yoda: Afraid to lose her I think, hmm?

Anakin: What has that got to do with anything?

Yoda: Everything! Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.

I think that example of how the prequels have some awesome dialogue speaks for itself...

 Why does Yoda talk in an exaggerated backward talk (more so than in ESB)........except for the last line he says.....it's said normally?

Not good writing....maybe should have been "The path to the dark side, fear is.  To anger fear leads.  To hate anger leads.  To suffering hate leads.  Much fear in you I sense."

I've only seen the first season of the proper show (and it's cool), but the first/micro series is really what we should have gotten in the PT. The bolded line is a perfect way to describe it, actually.

 I watched the micro series and enjoyed it,....used to watch it with my son (who loved SW back then, but now thinks it's nerdy),....I liked it's quirky style and because the episodes were short, there seemed to be no fat in the episodes,....just meat

I tried to watch the CG episodes but I couldn't really enjoy them,....just didn't grab me.....don't expect too much with the Rebels series
