@Amy_90_x Hostage rescue from Iranian Embassy by the SAS in spring 1980.

@___TheGOOdWitch Point of Order: The commandment was actually "You shall not murder". That's a different thing.

@Hania16836 Flatulence.

[Ben Russell-Gough @BenRG142]

@RobertaFresque2 A rubber band.

@zone_astronomy Lack of governmental will, why else?

[Ben Russell-Gough @BenRG142]

@Ernest1588761 Because it was a symbol of trusting God's right to decide moral standards for humans.

[Ben Russell-Gough @BenRG142]

@athiestboi Yeah, an artist's impression, created millennia later by someone who didn't know the cause of navels, only that a 'perfect' body needs one.

[Ben Russell-Gough @BenRG142]

@___TheGOOdWitch Remember that God was dictating the text by the Holy Spirit. The gospel writers were only the scribes to someone else's words.

[Ben Russell-Gough @BenRG142]

@bestofStarTrek I rate it as generally an 8. Like the later seasons of TNG, the scriptwriting was fresh and even if you hated the stories or characters, you had to recognise that they were written well.

@kushika_twt It isn't a real Christian belief and isn't *meant* to make sense.

@did8hurtu The shuttle yawed in near-vacuum. The follow up 'S-Turns' took place when the velocity was *much* lower and were to decelerate more before landing. It was still in fairly thin air, though.

@Sofia50020Sofia "I'm sorry, YOU'RE the benchmark of intelligent life on this planet? HA!"

@sashuwa77246 You're misinterpreting his words. He MEANT that they havening been BACK and that was the only reason why no-one had ever been back to the Moon. As an engineer, he knew that there was no practical reason beyond unwillingness to fund the mission.

[Ben Russell-Gough @BenRG142]

@Ernest1588761 The violence didn't actually start until after the first millennium of Christianity and the name should have been given inverted commas due to the doctrinal shifts towards pagan Greco-Roman traditions that now dominated the dominant dogma.

@toys_retro If the Paramount costume department was defunded and shuttered in 1980.

[Ben Russell-Gough @BenRG142]

@sashuwa77246 Because everything rotates with the planet at the same speed including the atmosphere. So, in effect, the Earth's rotational speed is the relative standstill for any object, even something flying.

@TheMekon_Venus IMHO, B but your mileage my vary.

[Ben Russell-Gough @BenRG142]

@did8hurtu No, it is an attractive force towards the system's centre of mass. For us, it's the centre of the Earth; for comets, it's typically the sun. In the case of that recent 'interstellar' object, it was the centre of the galaxy.

[Ben Russell-Gough @BenRG142]

@TheMekon_Venus The goal was to make Trillian look like an alien at first sight.

@God_Questioner It helps if you discard the Jesus = God dogma. It also helps if you discard the idea that Mary was 'impregnated' by any crude physical act.
