Okay, I'm going to break my rule in the OP by mentioning a venn diagram. (Yes, I know I promised no use of other means) But here's the thing -- the ma...

It means the whole world. Look what happened to Detroit, Michigan.

Who are they? And if they can't avoid it? What does it mean?

Even criminals who committed heinous crimes?

That's why right from the start, the ancient philosophers had lain down rules on talking about the real. Strip it down to bare minimum -- remove compl...

I love persimmons. The ones on the picture, when ripe and soft are super sweet.

First of all, I don't think you can establish a colony on Mars. Colony is a political and economic move done by a government under one nation. If Mars...
