Your friendly, neighborhood physicist.
My favorite author is Kurt Vonegut and my favorite book is Small Gods by Terry Prattchet. I am currently reading The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher.
If I get testy with you here is the most likely reason:
We have to be willing to accept the results that science gives us. If we experimentally determine something to be true, then to the best of our knowledge within the confines of the experiment, it is true. And we should accept that truth until another experiment proves otherwise. This doesn't mean we shouldn't question these truths. What it means is if we decide to call them false then we better have damn good evidence. To do things differently is a slap in the face to everyone who calls themselves a scientist. And I take it personally.
Here are some good tips I have learned:
1. If you are going to vomit, take some Tums. It will neutralize the acid in your stomach.
2. You can use denture cleaner to clean anything.
3. Bring ear plugs concerts. You will be able to hear the higher frequencies easier and you will be better off afterwards.
4. Never ever, ever get in a fight with a tree.

I miss one error and you jump all over me...
In reply to this comment by thepinky:
I know. I'm just messin' with ya. But, seriously, don't flame people for their semantics unless you do it right.

True... Hey, hey I said he needed an editor. And it was short notice.

He needs an editor. Here is what I could do on such short notice:
That's easy. The energy it takes to stop and accelerate a train at each stop takes is tremendous! Therefore, by using a simple deceleration rail on the top of each train, the boarding cart merely uses the inertia of the already moving train to launch and dock boarding cart. This saves the train having to stop and increases the number of stops/stations you can have in a rail line without increasing the number of trains you would have to run. It would also save HUGE amounts of energy and money; moreover, it would be INCREDIBLY efficient.
Trains would be more likely to be on time with this innovation.
Your welcome for doing the thinking for you, but that should be expected cause your are a marine...
If you're going to be all stuck-up and edit other people's stuff, you can at least correct "your welcome."
It's YOU'RE welcome! YOU'RE! It's a contraction. YOU ARE=YOU'RE! Get it right.
*wink* @ Grinter. Semantics flame fest. Yay!

Well, I have been under a lot of pressure recently. For a couple reason, some work and some personal.
The personal reasons are that I found some lumps on my ribs. I had surgery yesterday to remove them and two are benign and the third is going to have to be remove at a later date. Though they think it is also benign, it is also more serious.
Over the same period work has been very rough. My advisor has pretty much been relying almost entirely on me for several projects we are working on. One of which is actually my grant and has a $500K on it. So, a big conference is coming up and I have nothing yet.
Meanwhile the conference is closing in and I have another surgery in a couple days... So I need some help.

Found a replacement embed for your Stevie Ray video http://www.videosift.com/video/Pride-and-Joy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIpIsM4KTLc
I can't remember if it's the same version or not, but it looks like it matches the thumbnail.
I posted another version of your embed on your sift. You should change it, the one you have the sound is all messed up and the video is grainy.
Thanks, I'll switch it out.
