- Gabberwok, on 02/19/2008, -1/+67In the beginning, the Universe was created. This made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea...
- Alphateam, on 02/19/2008, -1/+46Dugg for being on one page.
- Slovenian6474, on 02/19/2008, -1/+44There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

- pharekyz, on 02/19/2008, -0/+14From Wikipedia:
At the end of the first radio series (and television series, and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe book) Arthur Dent having escaped the Earth's destruction potentially has some of the computational matrix in his brain, attempts to discover The Ultimate Question by extracting it from his brainwave patterns, as abusively[6] suggested by Marvin the Paranoid Android, when a Scrabble-playing caveman spells out FORTY TWO. Arthur pulls random letters from a bag, but only gets the sentence "WHAT DO YOU GET IF YOU MULTIPLY SIX BY NINE?"
"Six by nine. Forty two."
"That's it. That's all there is."
"I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe"

- nepawoods, on 02/19/2008, -5/+15Do you mean eggs in general, or chicken eggs, and if the latter, do you define a "chicken egg" to be an egg laid by a chicken, or an egg containing a developing chicken?

- emptyinside, on 02/19/2008, -1/+9The ultimate question of the universe:
Why doesn't digg automatically mirror content which goes to the front page, thus being a good net citizen and not taxing servers which obviously can't handle the load?
I guess Kevin Rose is too busy pondering the depths of sobriety to do anything to improve the beast that is digg... - anillop, on 02/19/2008, -2/+10You know I am agnostic and all but is it just me or are the atheists around here getting as annoying and preachy as evangelicals?

- girlpirate, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5I want to Digg you up but you're at +42 and that would be wrong.
- darkcooger, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5I am pretty sure that Jesus's message was not that we are God. Did you pull that out of the Gospel of St. Thomas or something?
- uzusan, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5The chicken that was the first of the species Gallus Domesticus would have to have been born from an egg. However the chicken that laid that egg would not have been of the same species.
So it would be something like this:
Chicken-like animal (NOT Gallus Domesticus species, though very closely related) gives birth.
Egg Laid (Mutation occurs while egg is being formed, giving rise to first embryo of new species Gallus Domesticus)
Egg hatches (First member of new species Gallus Domesticus is born).
you could go back through all the species of chicken until you find a point where the animal that gave birth to the first animal that is recognizably a chicken and say it was the point where the chicken was first born, rather than at the birth of the Gallus Domesticus species specifically, but its still the same result. - Firehed, on 02/19/2008, -2/+6Ah, but the genetic mutations from the two not-quite-chickens took place in the egg.

This is true. I hurt my knee a couple of years ago and whenever a storm is approaching my knee hurts. The bigger the storm the more it hurts. - tacroy, on 02/19/2008, -8/+12Pretty much every historian believes that Jesus existed. If you have some references that think otherwise, let me know, i'd love to read them.
The real question is do any of Jesus's claims hold any water. - Nougat, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4Menopause.

- inactive, on 02/20/2008, -0/+2------------"Pretty much every historian believes that Jesus existed."--------------------
Ask ANY local university historian for the evidence indicating jesus was anything other than a manufactured martyr of the late 1st century CE.
He/she will tell you that no such evidence of a "historical" jesus exists. His existence MUST be taken on faith, just like those who believe in Zeus and/or many other mythical characters.
Christians love to bring up the names of Josephus Flavius, Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, Suetonius and others as testimonies to Jesus’ life, however, they couldn't have been eye-witnesses to him simply because they didn't live in his calculated supposed lifetime.
How about historians who ~did~ live in that time? “Take, for example, the works of Philo Judaeus who's birth occurred in 20 B.C.E. and died 50 C.E. He lived as the greatest Jewish-Hellenistic philosopher and historian of the time and lived in the area of Jerusalem during the alleged life of Jesus.
He wrote detailed accounts of the Jewish events that occurred in the surrounding area. Yet not once, in all of his volumes of writings, do we read a single account of a Jesus "the Christ." Nor do we find any mention of Jesus in Seneca's (4? B.C.E. - 65 C.E.) writings, nor from the historian Pliny the Elder (23? - 79 C.E.).
If, indeed, such a well-known Jesus existed, as the gospels allege, does any reader here think it reasonable that, at the very least, the fame of Jesus would not have reached the ears of one of these men?
Amazingly, we have not one Jewish, Greek, or Roman writer, even those who lived in the Middle East, much less anywhere else on the earth, who ever mentions him during his supposed life time. This appears quite extraordinary, and you will find few Christian apologists who dare mention this embarrassing fact. - inactive, on 02/19/2008, -10/+12What do you get if you multiply six by nine?
