    WI: Michael Jackson dies in 1984?

    I agree. I can't see Prince easily stepping into Jackson's shoes. Prince was a different sort of musician, far more explicitly sexual for starters (listen to "Darling Nikki" versus any of MJ's lyrics). It sounds weird now, given everything we now know about Jackson, but back in the mid 80s, he...

    Hmm...they are expecting a snowstorm in Toronto today, with blowing winds and up to 15 cm of snow. *cough cough* Why do I suddenly feel sick, with a sore throat, runny nose and a cough? I might have to stay in bed all day and call in sick for work. Hate when that happens! *cough cough* 😫 🤒 😷

    AHQ: "Science" outside Europe

    That's what I've read as well. Hunter gatherer groups which retain dark skin in cold, low sunlight climates is due to getting their vitamin D from a diet rich in sea food.

    AHQ: "Science" outside Europe

    Of all the stuff in this thread, the cave painting stuff is the one that shocked me the most. Not the Eurocentricism, which is sadly all too common (especially on the net). But the cave painting one was surprising. Why? Because, everything that has come to light recently in anthropology and...

    Geronimo : What if Osama Bin Laden was killed prior to 9/11?

    No. Note that Rajiv himself was born to a Hindu mother and a Parsi (Zoroastrian) father, and neither parent was particularly religious. First, there is no record of Sonia converting anywhere. Second, while there are Hindu groups that convert people (Hare Krishnas, various other "neo-Hindu"...
