You can, however, judge a book by the evidence presented before the court.

I suppose that is true.

An astrophysicist at my university, along with two others from the US, have won this year's Nobel Physics prize.

Ah, okay, proponus-protector things... I'm not into Harry Potter. Haven't bothered with the books, have seen more than half of the movies, but meh, not my style... Lord of the Rings is great, but too many fanboys spouting too much hype for my taste. Of course, I love The Wheel of Time, so take whatever I say lightly . I have a ton of other reading I do, comic books of course, plus a sizable chunk of what you could classify as actual literature. I'll give most things a shot though, before rendering judgement and declaring them uninteresting.

I have a habit of deciding I don't like things without trying them. And then, if I do actually try it, I always confirm that I don't like it since my mind was already made up and I tend to be quite thickheadded.

The woman of the Camillias? I understood dame and camilia.

Yea...i'm lost now.

[Duke87 1,070]

(5918)

I'm not lost, I know exactly where I am. I'm just not sure where I have to get to!

It's written by the son of the author who wrote The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo...

@Ocram - You got it (and it is somehow a love story)

[Larks2242 251]

5920.

Still lost, new topic!

[Ocram's Razr 964]

I don't remember much of the 3 musketeers but I saw the movies and my grandparents played the books on tape to ease our boredom on childhood road trip vacations.

[Duke87 1,070]

(5922)

Ah, the tape player in the car... I remember when we first got one of those. I never watched anything on it because I always sat up front. Instead I had to put up with listening to my sisters watch it.

[astronelson 339]

5923.

I believe Ocram was talking about audio tapes, which are quite difficult to watch things on, seeing as they don't have any video data.

[Larks2242 251]

5924.

Haven't seem them in years.

[emperordaniel 1,281]

5925

We still have a few of those old things lying around

[Hamish 1,369]

Talking about old audio formats, I've been buying a few records recently, as there have been an increase in record stores around me. Nice to be able to get out the turn table and let them go, and there is some great music tucked away in these shops, you just have to know where to look.

I know, vinyl seems to be making a come back.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

5928

That would have been incredibly interesting news to me back in college when I was much more into music. Honestly though, I've always had iffy taste, though...

Okay, so I didn't read closely. I saw "tape", "car", and "childhood road trip" and drew the wrong conclusion.

We did have a minivan with a VHS player in it, though.

[Larks2242 251]

5930.

Ah, VHS been a really long time, don't even have a player anymore.

Finally solved my Rubik's Cube (alright, I cheated and went onto an online Rubik-solver )

[Duke87 1,070]

(5932)

Figures that someone would have made such a thing.

[Larks2242 251]

5933.

I use to just peel the stickers off and put them back on so its all the same.

[Skimbo 304]

Hellobye

@Daniel

Don't cheat, stay positive

[Duke87 1,070]

(5936)

stay positive

The National Electron Anti-defamation League wishes it known that they find this expression offensive.

I've solved a rubiks cube manually before, took about 5 minutes. The trick is to remember algorithms which complete various sections of the rubiks cube. It's all based on how well your memory is.

[The Avatar 1,089]

5938

I prefer Larks's way of solving it.

[Frdm920 50]

Nice one Duke!

I think my best time for solving a Rubik's Cube is around 52 seconds. Once you know the general algorithms for certain situations it's easy.
