So, if Jesus pooped and God's genes are in Jesus, that means that God's Dad must have pooped too, but maybe Jesus' kids won't have to poop since they'll be more evolved?
But some Christians say that we are Jesus' children, so I'm a little confused.

You should poop some more, that will clear things up.

I once glanced at a book in the shop, the tittle was 666+666+666=1998!
It was a thick book, I have no idea how this stunningly absurd calculation could fill up hundreds of pages.

Do you think that maybe, just like wisdom teeth, pooping will eventually become a vestige of our past?
I mean, we already have invented energy drinks...

That doesn't mean Apple can operate beyond the boundaries of the Securities and Exchange Commission, but the iPhone wouldn't have happened without Apple's "we're special" attitude. One reason there's limited innovation in cell phones generally is that the cell carriers have stiff guidelines that the manufacturers have to follow. They demand that all their handsets work the same way. "A lot of times, to be honest, there's some hubris, where they think they know better," Jobs says. "They dictate what's on the phone. That just wouldn't work for us, because we want to innovate. Unless we could do that, it wasn't worth doing." Jobs demanded special treatment from his phone service partner, Cingular, and he got it. He even forced Cingular to re-engineer its infrastructure to handle the iPhone's unique voicemail scheme. "They broke all their typical process rules to make it happen," says Tony Fadell, who heads Apple's iPod division. "They were infected by this product, and they were like, we've gotta do this!"
Nice personal attack! Note that I'm not the one who's always making up stuff to suit my argument, like saying T-Mobile cripples Bluetooth when you know damn well it's Verizon that does that.

I know damn well? I don't even live in the US. I am sure that one of the cellular companies crippled Bluetooth and just because I got the carrier wrong doesn't mean the underlining statement isn't true.
But do tell us why you think Steve only wants it on one carrier opposed to all of them. Just to be mean to you personally?

How about some from Steve from my memory:
"People don't want to watch video on a tiny iPod screen".
"TV's and computer should never mix. You turn your computer on to think and your TV on to not think"
"CRT's are dead. Apple isn't making any more." (Macworld 2000)
And right after Steve got back to Apple he said something about "The Newton is a nifty device.. praise praise"... and next month he canned it.
And the biggie:
"3GHz this time next year"

It comes up in every damn thread about cell phones - I even posted it myself in one of the other iPhone threads. At any rate, it's easily looked up either via Google or just by searching this forum, and it's generally a good idea to get your facts straight before you go around posting blatantly inaccurate information. T-Mobile's probably the least restrictive carrier around, easily less so than Cingular.
But do tell us why you think Steve only wants it on one carrier opposed to all of them. Just to be mean to you personally?
Yeah, because that's totally what I said. Nice straw man.
I'm not even interested in the damn iPhone. I don't have the money for something like that. And if I did want the damn thing, I'm on Cingular so I wouldn't have a hard time getting it. So therefore, I must just be whining about sour grapes. Why else would I criticize them for releasing the phone only on Cingular? Yep, Apple is really being mean to me personally by releasing the iPhone on the carrier that I'm on.

What the thread? I wasn't the one that bumped it.
However, I would say it was about worth it as someone complaining to someone about replying to a post in a thread.

How could I have forgotten it when I never read it? You are bitching to me because that is the first time I've read the comment, and you don't like the time it took me to respond to it.
So what you are doing is WORSE than what I did.
How many posts have you went on now derailing the thread?
Tell you what. I apologize for responding to besson's trollings.
Now it's your turn.

I wish you two would stop arguing about whomever made the religious joke, because this thread is about bad predictions.
P.S. speaking of religion, still not sure whether supernatural gods like God and Jesus have to poop, but I guess we can talk about that later.

Ooooooooookay, you go right on ahead and do that. Since you don't seem to like to do much other than make personal attacks, talking with you really isn't very rewarding.
Let me guess - you didn't read any sarcasm at all in my post?

And this is relevant how? I hadn't read this thread in almost a week. Can someone that was say gone on vacation for a week not post to posts that are almost a week old because it bothers you? If you aren't seeing where I am getting at I don't know what to tell you.
Well, I'm glad we've determined that your post was indeed inane.
Yes one of us is being honest with ourselves.

In that case judging by the numerous blocked posts I see I predict it must be a uneventful day in the trailer park and someone is itching for some negative attention

Sure you can. Seems stupid though, since you're responding to an old derail that has most likely been forgotten, not to mention the person you're responding to has you on ignore.

Again you keep making irrelevant points. None of this justifies you getting all huffy about it while attempting to "call me out". You were in the wrong for doing this. Just like I was in the wrong for responding to besson's immature trolling.
Hey, I am not denying I shouldn't have replied. I shouldn't have.
However, you have yet to admit what you are doing now is in the wrong.
I am also waiting for besson to start complaining to you about your armchair modding. It seems to me he is selective as to who he complains about.

If he hadn't did what he did, you'd still be thinking your comment was all witty and appropriate. He got you to see that those comments of yours are unnecessary, and I'd say in this case the end justifies the means.

I wouldn't say he got me to see anything. I came to that conclusion shortly after posting it.

Actually, you're the one who got huffy because I thought your bringing besson's post back up was worthless.

Yes. As I did right after posting it. See one of us is admitting what we did is wrong. And one of us is not.

If yours was as point, so was mine. Not that I buy that load of horse manure.

Why do you guys bother with Zimphire? He is on a ton of ignore lists, never starts an interesting thread or conversation and everything he says just shows his own self loathing.
Just ignore him and move on.
