Photons cannot have mass, according to Einstein. Oxidation of mitochondrial DNA You would age at the same rate. Unless there was a change in temperature. Increase temp, increase oxidation, and vice versa.

Kepler's 3 laws Planets travel in elipses, with the sun at one focus A line drawn from the sun to a planet will sweep out equal areas in equal time intervals. The square of a planets period is proportional to the cube of the mean distance from the sun. So...k=T^2/R^3, k is the same for ALL planets. Which planets travel with the highest orbital velocity then? HMMMM????

Objects with mass cannot travel at the speed of light. Huh? Double huh? I think wirlwind went to gibberish camp when he was a kid. Or he's a little punchy.

Could you be a little more self-righteous and condescending, while simultaneously slamming her shitty spelling in an off-hand way?

MEANIE. my spelling os unique not offensive Case in point: What does the enterance to the uterus have to do with this conversation?

Alex: What gives you the right to edit content? Shouldn't you just delete offensive content? "Take a motrin, you're being annoyiny" does not capture the essence of the original. I didn't think moderators where editiors as well. If so, please take a look at Muffy's horrible spelling atrocities. Now THAT is offensive. BTW, I asked how many moderators there are because it seems like your numbers have increased as of late.

I order to establish a valid and inclusive set of guidelines for what is considered by the community at large to be offensive, please post offensive material here. If the material is not deleted, the material is then considered "unoffensive", and can be used in future posts. For example:

"I did this climb with a guy in a red shirt. T-Shirts anyone????"

Well, there goes 80% of Spray.

She meant "Weapons of Ass Destruction"

"You'll know something is offensive when you see it."

I guess I missed the post regarding which words, specifically, are lingua non grata around here. Please provide me with a link to that particular post, or a comprehensive list.

Not that anyone gives a flying fuck, or I have anything valuable to say, but I've cut back my contributions recently due to what I consider to be shitty "moderation" on the part of some moderators (Off_White being a notable exclusion). They've taken the fun out of it. And I say this with the perceived "fear" of getting banned, once again, for speaking my mind. In my opinion, moderators should not be allowed to post, only to moderate. It seems like mods get wrapped up in conversations, and when they get pissed, for whatever reason, they edit, ban, etc. And editing posts, to "clean up" vulgarity, is bullshit. You should be able to use the word cunt in Spray. To replace cunt with a word like gash or hatchet wound is depraved revisionism, in the finest tradition of heavy-handed totalitarian censorship. BTW, how many moderators are there now?

Moon Hoax Debunked

Another bunch of dorks having the same dork conversation on another stupid BB

Sea of Vapours is rated WI5-WI7 in the new guide.

Hey, Hitler, don't tell me what I can and cannot worship.

My tools are my belay. The rope and gear are for the second. WI5 is the standard for Canadian climbers, while WI4 is the standard for US climbers. Canadians climb ice at a higher level. And WI6 is like easy 5.9. Just ask Will Gadd!

Sadly, "Militant Atheist" isn't on the list.

What's the best sized/most functional bolt kit setup for alpine climbs? How many hangers, what size drill?

My bong water froze!

AAJ, CAJ

From what I've gathered, it's clear that, in general, Canadians are harder climbers than Americans. Most American climbers have what appear to be lower measures of success, lower standards for what are considered to be "hard" climbs. Canadians do harder routes in better style, and with non-chalance. Excluding aid climbs.

So, I was thumbing through his new book, and find a picture with a caption claiming he and his buds did the first winter ascent of Howse Peak. Sure, their route was sick, and they didn't use jumars, but IMHO, it takes a supreme dick to deny that M16 was not a valid ascent.

Advances in gear technology and application will push our great sport into new realms. Ice: Handle-less ascents. Just picks in your hands. Crampons optional. Alpine: Super-light sandals, with integral crampons. Rock: Down-aiding popular trad routes. Pseudo-climbing: Skipping bolts, and pad-less low balls. Nutrition: Overcoming the need for food and water. Think of the weight savings!
